Things to Consider when Training Your Dog for Behavior

Things to Consider when Training Your Dog for Behavior

by Joe R. Hilliard

There are several different things that dogs need to learn in any dog behavior training. In addition to house training, there is bite and bark control, leash training, crate training, and other issues such as excessive or excitement urination, along with teaching them to stop whining. Here are some tips and tricks to help you improve your dog behavior training technique.

House breaking a puppy is a laborious task that many do not look forward to, but actually does not take as much as many people would think. Defining an area for papers where the puppy can go, and taking him or her outside at regular time periods while watching for cues is a major key to house breaking. Ensure that the puppy is positively rewarded and never negatively punished for the effort.

In order to socialize your pet with other dogs and ensure that he or she gets his or her exercise, leash training is a necessity. The dog needs to realize that you are in control of the leash at all times. Quickly show the animal that you are in charge and you mean what you say. Reward good behavior, and warn bad behavior by tightening your grip on the leash.

The last thing you want to deal with is a dog that barks all time and chews or bites everything. Show the dog that this behavior is unacceptable by allowing him or her to spend time with other, older dogs. This will help because this is a task that nature would have assisted with.

One of the hardest things to deal with is the urination when a dog gets excited. This is something that nearly every puppy does, and it can be bothersome to the owner. Stop the dog from getting so excited by exposing him or her to the things that excite him or her often enough to prevent them from being a stimuli. If you get angry, you'll turn the urination into submissive urination because the dog does not understand why or how he or she has upset you and is trying to please you. Either urination will be a problem.

The sooner you can get the dog's whining under control the better for everyone. The dog probably whines because he or she does not want to be away from you, so before you go away for long periods of time be sure to give puppy time to adjust and reward small periods of alone, quiet time before pushing the long ones.

Whining is something dogs love to do and their owners hate to hear. It is usually the result of separation anxiety from the family and his or her loved ones. The way to combat this is to train your dog to be left alone and quiet for short periods of time before leaving them alone for a longer period of time.

Having a puppy or any dog that needs behavior training can be very stressful and requires a great deal of commitment and attention. Remember to stay calm and enjoy the puppy rather than to let it bother you. You'll have a lifelong companion that way. - 20511
