Does your pet’s bad behavior drive you crazy? Do you wonder if you’ll ever be able to stop
the biting , barking , scratching , furniture chewing and car chasing ? Are you tearing
your hair out because your animal isn’t housebroken or has given you the gift of fleas ?
We all know the different displays of everyday dog behavior, whereby all of them are perfectly
normal canine activities. Dogs are predators by nature with bodies intended to chase, hunt and
eat, and when you bring them to your home they will chase your visitors, hunt down your cat
and eat your furniture. The challenge here is teaching these dogs to redirect their natural
behavior to channels that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
Below is a list of the most common dog behavior problems:
And so you’ve tried teaching your pet. You've tried potty training your dog. You’ve gone hoarse
from yelling and pleading. You chase him around your home until you’re exhausted. You’ve
consulted pet care guidebooks and “ how to take care of your dog” websites. Why won’t he
listen?
In order to correct such dog behavior you’ll need to become a bit more committed and take out
some extra time to get this problem solved through dog behavior training.
Professional Dog and Cat Trainers
Professional dog and cat trainers can show you how to break your pet’s bad habits, improve
dog grooming and health and get your pet to listen and respond to your every command.
Dog Training School
These courses start with basic obedience, building a foundation of communication and trust
between you and your animal. You won’t believe the difference when your pet stops straying
and starts obeying!
Dog Training Tips
When it comes to dog behavior training there are two main types, the first is collar or leash
training and the second is reward training. With collar training, the dog is first taught a
command and when the dog shows that it knows it the leash is used to correct the dog when it
makes a mistake or doesn’t obey. The leash and collar can be used with different degrees of
force depending on how hard you want the correction to be. The leash then becomes the main
form of communicating with your dog and controlling his behavior. Through this method you can
develop a leadership role in the dog’s life where he will become more secure and calm in this
connection of authority and love.
As for reward training, this method involves praising and reinforcing desirable and acceptable
dog behavior. Praise and reward, are vital in maintaining good dog behavior and prevent
problems from occurring. The more times a dog is rewarded, the quicker he will learn. A simple
word like “good” or a tasty food treat are positive reinforces that will do the job.
In the end, all animal behavior needs to be observed, understood and corrected when
appropriate to ensure that it will fit into your family and make a good pet.

Below is a list of the most common dog behavior problems:
- Aggression: Dogs can get aggressive when protecting their territory, food, and family.
Even when dogs meet other dogs they usually get excited or nervous which causes
aggressive behavior such as biting, barking and growling. - Barking: Barking is a natural way for dogs to relieve tension and to scare people away.
Dogs use this as a means of communication and to warn owners that strangers are
around. - Chewing: When dogs are isolated, bored, anxious or stressed, chewing is what you’ll find
them doing. Now if it’s on their chew toys or a bone, that’s fine, but when it’s your shoes,
rug or other furniture that’s where the problem is. - Digging: Whether it’s to dig a bone, find a cool spot or to try to escape, dogs will dig and
turn your yard in to a huge mess. - Eliminating: Dog’s develop elimination habits early on in their lives and what they’ll tend
to do is eliminate anywhere and at anytime. Big no no! - Jumping: This dog behavior is usually a dog’s way of saying hello, but if he has muddy
paws then that wouldn’t be too pleasant. Another reason why dogs jump is to see if their
position is dominant or subordinate to yours.
