Dog Behavioral Problems
Common reasons why your pooch may be behaving badly
- Many
puppy &
dog behavioral problems are the result of a lack of early obedience
training.
- Common
issues such as
fence jumping, digging, barking, biting, nipping and whining maybe due
to a lack of proper communication from you.
If you train your dog what
is right
and wrong
from the start you are much more likely to have a dog or puppy that
behaves well.
- Always
use reward
based dog training methods. You may find our section on positive
reinforcement useful for this.
- Don't
ever
physically reprimand your dog or puppy. Aggressive behavior from you
only
will breed aggressive behavior in your pooch.
- Many
issues may stem
from abuse. You may have received your dog from a rescue home
where they have been placed due to behavior problems.
Consequently,
you may be
starting the obedience training later in your dog's life - so it may
take a little longer to cure really significant issues.

Dog Behavioral Problems
Get the timing right
It
is very important when dog or puppy
obedience training that you
always reward or reprimand your dog or puppy immediately after the
event.
Below we have listed most important things to remember when dog
training:
Eye
Contact
- It is very important
that you keep eye contact with you dog or puppy when you give any dog
training commands.
- Use hand signals at
the same time as you use the commands.
- Don't over feed your
dog or puppy with lots of rewards as your dog will end up becoming fat.
Body
language
- Learn to anticipate
your dog's behavior, by doing this you can fix any dog behavioral
problems before they become too serious.
- Give dog training
commands when your dog is alert and ready. Don't issue any commands if
he is losing concentration.
Use
Firm Dog Training Commands
- Use a firm sharp
command to reprimand your dog or puppy.
- If you want to you
could use a water spray to squirt your dog at the same time as you
reprimand him - but that is up to you. We only use vocal commands.
Don't
Delay Rewards
- Always reward your dog
or puppy straight after he has done what you have asked. Sometimes the best cure to dog behavioral problems is to reinforce good behavior.
- Use a treat at the
same time as a verbal 'Good
Boy'
- Gradually reduce the
amount of treats you give and increase the verbal praise.

Dog Behavioral Problems
Every dog has their own personality
|
Each
breed of dog and puppy has different personality traits that either
make the dog training process easy or harder.
Below we have listed some of the personality types and common dog
behavior patterns and how easy they are to train.
A
Responsive & Co-operative Personality
- There are without
doubt the easiest dogs to train as they are very good with people and
have a natural wiliness to learn.
- This personality type
have a natural curiosity and are ready and willing to investigate,
respond and listen to people.
A
Confident and Dominant Personality
- Each dog or puppy has
there own personality and this does not always come down to the breed,
but maybe due to environmental factors and what the dog has experienced
in his life.
- You may own two dogs
who are the same breed, with one having a natural confidence.
- Did you know that a
neutered dog and a female bitch that is between her seasons is easier
to train.
- Dogs that have not
been neutered are more difficult to train.
Insecure
and Submissive Personality
- If you own a dog with
a submissive personality they may find the whole training process
overwhelming.
- An insecure dog may
find any training commands too much to handle.
- This personality type
needs more of a gentle training regime - use any dog training commands
in a less harsh manner.
If you are having major dog behavioral problems and you own a young
dog, try taking him to puppy
training classes.
