Male Dogs Behaviour Guide

If you are thinking of getting a dog then one of the first decisions you need to make is which sex to choose.

Whilst all dogs bark and play, there can be marked differences in behavior between the sexes. This short article will help to identify some of the major behavioral traits displayed in male dogs.

Specifically we will discuss aggression, territorial behavior and play. After reading this you will be able to make an informed decision about choosing the gender of your future dog.

Male dogs are usually more aggressive then their female counterparts. This can be displayed in their behavior towards the owner, children and other dogs.

Typically this is the dog’s attempt to become the ‘Alpha Dog’. In other words it wants to be the dominant party in any relationship.

It is very common for a male dog to be much more active then a female. You should expect to take the dog for a long walk at least twice a day to ensure that any excess energy is used.

The dog is always very protective of its home and its owner. A common behavioral problem with male dogs is the marking of territory within the home.

Desexing your dog may lessen the occurrence of territory marking.

Compared to females, the male dog is usually less easy to train.

Due to the it’s nature the male dog will often try to win a ‘battle of wills’ with its owner as it attempts to establish its dominance.

Whichever sex you choose, having a dog as a pet is a wonderful thing. Dogs can bring love and excitement into most homes - and children love them!

But it is worth acknowledging that there are different behavioral traits.

If you choose a male dog you need to consider the effects of its likely behavior and whether your prospective new friend is compatible with your lifestyle.

Whatever time and energy you invest in your dog, whatever its gender they will give back much more in love.

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

Dog Training For Beginners

“How does your dog sit when you tell him to and mine doesn’t?", “How can your dog heel to you like that?", “Wow! He comes when you tell him to” - Sounds familiar?

If it does, you need to invest some time into a little bit of basic dog training.

Starting to train your dog from a young age is crucial as the first few months of his life is when you will have the greatest influence on him; this is where he is shaped into the dog he is going to be when he is all grown up.

The most basic of dog training is to get your dog to sit and come. Teaching him those commands are essential for him to learn.

These commands are used for various different reasons, if you are in competition, if your dog jumps making him sit will immediately get him off and "come" is the all important one.

If you take your dog for a walk, you let him of the leash and you expect him to come back to you, not run around the park with you chasing after him shouting at him to “get here right this instance”. That would be just down right embarrassing!

To teach your dog how to come requires only the most basic of techniques but a lot of repetition.

The simplest way to get him to come is have a toy in one hand and a treat in the other, when you are in the house simply walk away from him, hold out the toy and excitingly call him to you, when he comes over give him a treat, always use the command for come that you are going to use in the future.

Doing this several times a day is a great way to teach him, but remember to have lots of long breaks so he doesn’t get bored and stop enjoying it, and don’t forget the treats!

Getting him to sit could be a slight bit harder but again only requires basic dog training.

When you have mastered the come command call him to you, place your hand on the end of his back and say "sit" while gently pushing down on his backside, when he sits his bottom down give him a treat and a lot of praise.

If you want him to sit longer just delay giving him the treat and the praise, get him to sit but take your time bending down to him and feeding him his titbit.

Basic dog training is simple and very effective. It should also be fun for you and your dog, it doesn’t have to be hours and hours each day just may be 5 minutes or so. Don’t forget to reward your dog and yourself for all the “hard” work though!!
