Dog Behavior Training

Dog Behavior Training

Bad behavior 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 is yes, you need to invest some time into a little bit of dog behavior training. A short training will go a long way.

Dogs that bark can be extremely irritating, but the main thing is not to lose 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 behavior training comes in. There are lots of products available to help dogs with constant barking, and there are individual collars that give them the tiniest of electric shocks, so they know that it isn't right to bark.

A biting dog is maybe one of the more severe behavior 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 eat is one of the essential 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 acceptable to be eaten with the other hand, something like a chew toy or a rawhide treat

 Your dog will soon realize that hands aren't there for biting. This process has to be done repeatedly for it to take effect.

Dog behavior 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 behavior 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 behavior problems. Every dog will get them, it's just a matter of how you fix them.
