Behavior Problems

 

​Positive reinforcement training is the foundation to having a well behaved puppy or mature dog. Yet, more is required to combat undesireable behavior. Understanding situations that trigger bad behavior is the first step in prevention.

Puppies

 

All puppies in time will develop certain behaviors which can challenge an owner. Train your puppy to develop good habits. Socialization is the first step in raising a well behaved puppy. During the first weeks of their lives, if a puppy is gradually exposed to people, places and things, theres' a better chance of success. 

Shelter Dogs

 

Dog owners who adopt shelter dogs will sometimes experience misbehavior. More than 46% of dogs have never been trained. The consequences will be a dog that 'acts out'. Training will result in the value of a well behaved dog. 

Dogs perform better when interactions are motivated by training.

What behaviors are most challenging with puppies or a new adult dog?
To learn how to train a puppy or dog of all breeds and sizes, it's important to train and get them familiar with crating, house manners, temperament and leash handling. 
 
As a new puppy or dog owner you may need to make personal adjustments especially as you learn new things, both for you and your dog. 
 
Starting training early with puppies is also vital. The first 8-16 weeks of puppy life is an important time  for shaping dog behavior. 
 
Also, getting your dog feeling comfortable about their home environment takes time and consistency.

Your Role as Your Dog's Leader

 

Sometimes dogs display behavior that's comical, cute and just plain funny!

On the other hand, if we neglect training our dogs, unplanned consequences  happen. Behavior such as soiling, nipping, unwarranted barking, counter surfing, destroying personal items and even separation anxiety. 

How do you curb or correct unwanted behavior?

Training serves to strengthen the bond between a dog and their owner. It emphasizes the  'Alpha' role you play as your dog's social lead and mutual respect between owners and their dogs. 

It also protects and  will even save your dog's life.

Having a dog in your life is the same as having a child.

Their welfare and safety should always come first.
