Dog Behaviour

Training

Bad behaviour in dogs can consist of many problems.

Does he bark all night long and keeps you from

sleeping? Are you afraid he is going to keep biting?

Does he chew everything except his toys? If the

answer to any of these questions are yes you need

to invest some time into a little bit of dog behaviour

training. A little training will go a long way.

Dogs that bark can be extremely irritating but the

main thing is not to loose your cool, if you shout at

him he will try to shout louder than you. Try and find

out the cause of his barking. Is he barking because

he is afraid? Is he happy? Is there someone out

there? If you can’t find the reason for the barking

then he is doing it because he doesn’t know it is

wrong to bark all the time. This is where dog

behaviour training comes in. There are lots of

products available to help dogs with constant

barking, there are special collars which gives them

the tiniest of electric shocks so they know that it

isn’t good to bark.

A biting dog is maybe one of the more serious

behaviour problems, especially now that the laws

are tightened and any dog that bites someone is

more than likely to get put down. Teaching your dog

not to bite is one of the most important teachings

you can give him. This is where you have to be firm

and stick to your guns. When playing with a young

dog they will automatically nip and gnaw at your

hand this is because when dogs play together they

play with their mouths.

When teaching your dog not to bite stroke him with

one hand while offering something which is

acceptable to be bitten with the other hand,

something like a chew toy or a raw hide treat. Your

dog will soon realise that hands aren’t there for

biting. This process has to be done repeatedly for it

to take effect.

Dog behaviour training is simple enough for the

experienced dog lover but when it comes to

beginners all the help available is needed. Accept

help from friends and family and maybe even enroll

in a dog behaviour training class, this will help you to

meet other people, having the same problems with

their dogs that you are with yours. You are not alone

when it comes to having trouble with dog behaviour

problems. Every dog will get them, it's just a matter

of how you fix them.
