How To Deal With Destructive Dog Behaviour

Inside every bad dog there is a good dog trying to get out; with the right changes in your behavior, your dog's behavior will change as well. Here are the 4 most common dog problems and how to deal with them:

Peeing in the wrong place

Have you ever walked into a room and noticed a distinctive scent? Have you ever found a puddle on your new carpet?

My all time favorite is running to the phone and slipping in a puddle of doggie piddle.

Inappropriate urination can be a sign of territory marking, particularly in male dogs.

Excessive Barking

You can hear it from a mile away, an enthusiastic, hearty dog bark.

Yet when it is your dog, the incessant barking is decidedly not so charming.

This can upset the neighbors and even cause an all out neighborhood bark-a-thon.

Jumping

For adults it's annoying, for children its bowling with them as the pins.

When small dogs jump it generally does no damage but larger dogs can cause harm to kids and even adults.

Jumping is usually just caused by over-excitedness.

Growling

Nothing makes your friends and family want to run away faster than the growler.

Dogs growl when they are angry, jealous or in pain. If your dog growls often then you can see a vet or behavior specialist.

All of these problems can be solved by asserting your position as the alpha dog through the following behavior changes in you:

When you first walk in to the house, ignore them for 5 minutes, no enthusiastic greetings, do not praise or encourage them immediately.

When you feed them or give them water, you eat or drink first.
There must be a no dogs allowed room in the house

Always be on a higher level than your dog, the least dominate dog seeks the lowest point in the room

Many dogs will become and alpha dog if they think you aren't the one in charge

Dogs are called mans best friend. If they can overlook your morning breath you just might be able to live with some of their "annoying" behavior.

At the end of the day you have to decide, do you have a little naughty in you and is that what you love about your dog?

With time and patience, any dog can be trained, so make sure you start early.

Top Reasons to Training Dog Tricks

Sit! Roll over! Jump! Teaching your dog tricks might not be the easiest thing in the world, but it’s highly beneficial to you and your dog.

Teaching your dog tricks can help strengthen your relationship with your beloved pet in many ways. Below are some great reasons why you should start teaching your dog tricks.

1. Make everyone safe- While learning to teach your dog tricks, you learn many training techniques which can also be used to gain control over your dog. Teaching him basic tricks like sit and stay can also be used in life situations like crossing the street or entering a store.

2. Give Your Dog Something to Do- It doesn’t take long before your dog gets bored and decides to take on a new hobby of chewing anything in sight, including your brand new sofa. Teaching your dog tricks will keep him focused on the task at hand, and will entertain him for hours!

3. Help Keep Your Dog’s Mind Sharp- Training your dog will keep his mind active and responsive. As dogs get older they become less physically active, but learning tricks will keep his mind active and alert.

4. Help Create a Better Bond between You and Your Dog- Your dog will look up to you as being the pack leader, and will listen to you instead of trying to get your attention in destructive ways. Best of all, once your dog learns tricks you two become a team when training or performing.

5. Show Off- You can show off your dog if you teach it some cool tricks, and your dog will get people’s attention. Dogs love attention and they love being in the spotlight so they will like performing in front of your friends and family. Of course, you will also get the recognition of being a star trainer.

6. Make Vet Check Ups Easier- Both the veterinarian and you hate it when your dog can’t control itself during a check up. If you teach it to be calm during the check up, it will make both of your lives easier, and you won’t be embarrassed that your dog is acting up.

7. Gives Your Dog a Hobby- We all have hobbies we like to do such as watching TV or playing games, but dogs also need things to do. Training dog tricks is great to do on rainy days when you can’t take him for a walk.

If these reasons have inspired you to teach your dog tricks, then you’ve come to the right place. Dog Trick Academy and our community is devoted to help teach your dog tricks, we keep it fun and entertaining!
