				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Some of the most basic and important dog obedience commands are &#8220;heel&#8221;, &#8220;sit&#8221;, &#8220;stay&#8221;, &#8220;down&#8221;, &#8220;come&#8221;, and &#8220;drop it&#8221;. These may seem like very simple commands, but they are more than just cute little tricks. They are actually the keys to controlling your dog’s daily manners and discipline. It can also strengthen the bond that you have with your dog. So you can see, even from these six little commands, that you can shape and regulate your dog’s behavior and obedience quickly and easily. It is important to remember that your dog is always learning. Your responsibility is to ensure he learns only good habits and does away with the bad. To do this, you first have to understand and accept that dogs learn things differently than we do. If you choose in-home dog training with the thought that your dog will learn in the same manner that humans do, then you are just setting yourself and your dog up for failure. In fact, you could even make his behavior problems become worse.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Amongst the most feared and dangerous dog behaviors is “Biting.” Even the most aggressive dog can be trained to improve its behavior considerably. However, To successfully deal with dog biting problems, finding out how the behavior began will be necessary. The best way to get to the cause of the problem is to observe your dog. Watch how they react to different individuals (including children), situations, and other animals. Many dog owners who find themselves having to contend with dog biting problems often feel overwhelmed and end up getting rid of the dog. What you should do instead is get rid of the reason for the biting. It’s only logical that the dog will stop biting when they no longer have any reason to do so.</p>
<p>Aggression can be born out of fear, anger, or a combination of the two. Essentially, when your dog bites, they either react to a previous stimulus, such as a traumatic event in their life, or attempt to assert dominance over the victim of the dog bite. Aggression based on “Fear” is very common amongst dogs that another dog may have attacked. This is also the case where the dog may have suffered from physical punishment from a previous owner. “Fear” based aggression stems from your dog attempting to raise their position in their perceived ‘Pack’ (the family) or being unclear of their position in the family’s hierarchy. In both cases, it is “key” for you as the owner to re-establish yourself as the ‘Alpha/Top Dog’ (Master.) By doing this, you are triggering submissive behavior in your dog while at the same time reassuring them that you will keep them safe. Remember, dogs being” Pack” animals in nature, rely on the Alpha Male (in this case ‒ you) for guidance and safety. The truth is that this Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight.</p>
<p>Patience and confidence are the key factors for successfully dealing with dog biting problems. Understandably, this problem can be very frustrating for a dog owner, especially since it may pose a danger to other people and even the owner himself. But, no matter how frustrating it is, the problem CAN be solved, and that is what you need to keep in mind.</p></div>

Technically, you DO have a choice of enrolling your dog in obedience school. But, as more and more satisfied owners discover, training conducted in the home atmosphere is a cost-effective alternative that delivers unmatched results. Please don’t forget that “Home” is where the dog usually displays negative behavior and is also where training can be most effective. Besides, if your dog does not obey you at home, you cannot expect it to obey you anywhere else. This is why in-home dog training is often more preferable to obedience school training. While it is often more advisable to practice in-home dog training rather than bringing your dog to obedience school, you may still need the help of a professional when you begin training in extreme cases of severe aggression, such as repeated stealing of objects, chewing, and growling. Where things have become truly uncontrollable. In most cases, in-home dog training will produce maximum results. Whether you’re conducting in-home dog training for a puppy or an adult dog, you can still develop them into a dog with perfect manners. All you really need is a reliable dog training method and a lot of patience. These will be your true “keys to success.”</p></div>

Then, the puppy grows into a full-sized adult that knocks you off your feet whenever it greets you or others. Training them is needed from the moment they become family members, regardless of their size. This means that greetings are only allowed with your dog standing on all four paws. It would help if you were consistent so your dog learns that no jumping is allowed. So tell all your friends and family not to let the doggy jump up. Thus, it is not great if mom enables the dog to jump up and dad says no every time because the dog gets way too confused.</p></div>

By identifying and addressing that factor with patience and confidence, you can effectively eliminate the biting problems. Patience is especially needed when you are still trying to identify the source of the behavior.</p>
<p>Become The “Top Dog” To Send Out Clear Signals Of Acceptable Behavior</p>
<p>Ensure that you do not allow your dog to have his own way during this time. At the first signs of your dog attempting to bite, immediately give a command to correct the action. Be sure to give a command which you know your dog will understand. (“NO”) Do not expect your dog to immediately obey your command. More likely than not, it may be safe to say that you can expect your dog to DISOBEY you at this point. You should, therefore, be firm and consistent in giving the correction. Yelling will only increase your dog’s frustration with learning. This will not be acceptable behavior on your part. Let the dog know that no matter what happens, you stand your ground, and biting is not allowed. Dealing with dog biting problems can truly be a stressful experience, but once conquered, your dog will most certainly be “Your Best Friend.”</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Training is an essential part of raising puppies to become well-mannered dogs. Training a puppy doesn’t mean you’ll have to stop playing, cuddling, or spoiling them. It only means that you’ll have to spend extra time and effort in making sure that the puppy understands the acceptable behaviors and that they should never cross the limits of these behaviors. Dogs naturally need strong leaders; you should, therefore, take on that role in your puppy’s life. Common puppy behavior problems include nipping, excessive barking, and destructive chewing. The best way to deal with these behaviors is to firmly issue a command (No) each time your pet exhibits the unacceptable behavior. Only reward him when he exhibits acceptable behaviors. (a comforting pat and good boy/girl) Chewing, for example, is one of the most common puppy behavior problems and usually reaches its most intense levels when the puppy starts teething, which is when he is around 5-9 months of age. While this is perfectly normal behavior in young dogs, it must be addressed rapidly through aversion techniques. So, if you don’t want your puppy chewing through your furniture or clothing, you must provide him with something else to chew on.</p></div>

In order to prevent “boredom,” I suggest that you purchase an assortment of chew toys. If you notice your puppy starting to chew on furniture or other household items, issue a firm “NO” and then redirect your puppy’s attention to one of their chew toys. Your dog will quickly understand that there are things meant for chewing and others that are not. One very important reminder is for you to refrain from yelling at your dog or resorting to physical punishment. Your goal is to eliminate puppy behavior problems. Physical punishment simply increases negative behavior. Your dog will soon see you as the source of pain and start exhibiting the bad behavior only when you’re not around rather than refraining from that behavior altogether.</p></div>
