Behaviour Issues

Sometimes dogs can suddenly exhibit bad behaviors. They just do whatever works. For example, if you see your dog barking at somebody or chewing something give them a treat to distract them. You will teach them that all they have to do is they would have to do such things to get a reward.

So, to solve those behaviors. Here are some of the tips to avoid those situations.

Keep them entertained.

When a dog has nothing else to do, he might try chewing or digging. You can be held somewhat responsible for this, as you should be providing your dog with daily exercise and entertainment.

Try to correct their behavior.

When your dog begins to exhibit a problem behavior, try to work on correcting it right away. The longer you let it go, harder it becomes. Some problem behaviors get to the point where they are almost impossible for the normal owners to handle. If you have these impossible tasks we are always happy to help.

Aggression

Aggression isn’t always a full-out attack. Usually it’s more indirect but dangerous behavior. Does your dog bare his teeth at you when you reach for his collar to get him off the furniture? Does he stand over and guard his food bowl or special toys? Is walking him difficult because you can’t trust him to greet others nicely? These are all manifestations of aggressive tendencies that will probably lead to a bite incident someday. If you notice anything like this, take immediate action. What to do? Certainly setting limits, rewarding only positive behavior, not responding emotionally, and evaluating diet are things you should implement around your home right away.

Barking or Whining

The first thing to remember about barking is that it’s natural and, for many dogs, it’s quite enjoyable. For your part, when barking or whining aggravates you, try really hard not to “bark” or whine back—which you’re doing if you yell at or plead with your dog while he’s vocalizing in this way. The message he gets from you “barking back” is that maybe he should be louder, or maybe he should repeat himself so that you stop. Instead, teach him to bark and stay quiet on command When he is finally quiet, say “Good shush,” and reward him again.

Chewing

All dogs need to chew. Accept this fact, and take on the responsibility of providing your dog with safe and good chew toys. If he’s chewing stuff around the house, don’t let him loose in the house. If he simply won’t take to something you think is safe and acceptable, keep trying until you find something he likes.

Digging

If you have a dog who loves to dig—and again, digging is a natural canine instinct and can’t be shut down—don’t fight him, join him. Select a spot in your yard or on your walk where he won’t do too much damage if he digs. Encourage him to use that spot by burying something there that he needs to dig out. Praise him when he does.

Jumping Up

Your dog can’t jump up on someone if he’s sitting down, lying down, or otherwise confined. Enlist a friend or neighbor, as well as other family members, to help redirect this behavior. Put your dog on his leash, have someone ring the doorbell, approach with your dog, and ask the dog to sit. He sits, you open the door. He doesn’t sit, you wait until he does. When the person comes in, give them a couple of treats and have them ask the dog to sit. He sits, he gets a treat. He doesn’t sit, they turn their back on him for a moment. This will help you to control his behavior.

Submissive Urination

When you come inside to greet your dog, does he flop down and begin to wet himself? If so, you have a submissive urinator. First, check with your vet to make sure the problem isn’t due to a health issue. If he doesn’t have those issues. Toilet training is must for your dog.
