Dog Behavior Problems
By UniversityDog | November 10, 2007
Here are some basic guidelines that apply to almost all problematic situations:
Control your dog to take control of the problem: When you put on a training collar and a lead, it is possible to control the dog with a fair degree of certainty.
When you put on the training tools like a collar on your puppy’s neck, you mean real business. This resolute behavior on your part will help instill a sense of seriousness in the mind of puppy as well. As you lead your puppy on its collar and leash, you can control its potentially bad behavior problem.
How to stay positive? Create an atmosphere of positive energy around your puppy. Try avoiding saying no to your dog; instead provide him enough challenging exercises to enable him to learn very quickly.
Positive approach will bring the best out of dog, help him grow self confidence and make him interested in learning new tricks and lessons.
Let the dog be a good doggy!! : More often some dog owners get annoyed to see a dog misbehaving in a particular manner. But, what they do not understand is that, that part of dog behavior is in fact its normal behavior. Avoid scolding the puppy at this critical juncture; instead provide him a separate access to play his tantrum.
But make sure that you don’t provide these facilities at the cost of the overall essence of training. Whenever your puppy shows a wrong behavior which you perceive it to be quite normal, get creative to provide an outlet for expressing that misbehavior.
Let your dog earn what he deserves: Never provide any treats if your puppy is not doing what is being asked by you. Teach your dog to plead “please”, before you offer any praise or treat and make him understand this harsh truth.
Act without ambiguity and be absolutely clear: As an owner, you can really confuse the situation by:
· Frequently changing the commands and orders,
· Repeat the same command over and over again,
· Not knowing exactly what you mean,
· Assuming that your puppy knows everything what you say and mean.
If you’re in doubt do the following:
· Cajole your dog physically to show what you mean,
· Give the exact line of command as per the given situation, so that your puppy will learn relating these events to recognize similar future occurrences.
