There Is No Such Thing As A Bad Dog…
Dogs cannot be bad; it is the handler who is poor. It’s irritating when walking down the sidewalk in your own neighborhood only to have a dog jump up on your clean clothes. This can also happen when the dog next door leaves his tell tale marks on your front yard. These dogs are only as irritating as the children who have not learnt any lessons in life; and you call them bad dogs?
What can you say about pets and kids who belong to homes where the adults are not responsible themselves? Ask any smart owner and he would tell you that it is wise to take the help of a dog trainer to learn the handling methods without dampening his natural spirits. Either you contact your vet office or pet store to get to meet a trainer or seek online help from a dog training book or from online dog training tips and tackle your pet problem before it goes out of hand. Owners can learn how to manage their pets from this training.
Many times trainers comment that dogs are easier to train than their owners. Dogs that must be leash trained for walking in public or at the park need practice; this begins around the yard or in a smaller location. Owner and other residents get irritated when these animals bark even if it is a typical occurrence. Shouting or punishing your pet for engaging in this normal communication is counterproductive - as well as confusing to the animal.
So why does a dog bark?
Often, dogs bark because they lack attention or need food and water. The noise of a dog barking can alarm the owners of a burglar intrusion so attempting to stop him from doing this may work against you. Remember not to promote barking when he is a puppy and then get all worked up when he continues to bark even more as he gets bigger. Any trainer can teach you skills on how to get the desired conduct from your puppy using the carrot as opposed to the stick.
How do you make your new puppy stop the undesired behavior?
Well, simply learn to reward him when he does something which is ‘desired’ behavior. Remember that you can not coach a dog to adapt to certain behaviors which are not part of his genetic make-up. The best option for getting certain specific behavior is to acquire your pet from a breed which displays those traits.
When does a dog become good?
Good dog behavior can be the result of patience, determination and the love you give to the animal.
