There are a number of reasons to pursue
professional dog training for your dog from the very beginning. Learning proper
commands and behaviors is easier than trying to unlearn bad habits later, and
will likely save you a lot of frustration in the long run. There are many
websites and books in which professional dog training reveals his secrets, to
help you get the advice you need, when you need it.
Behaviors that can become problematic if allowed
to develop unimpeded include:
- digging
- barking
- jumping
up on people
- biting
- chewing
- fence
jumping
Keep in mind that while some behaviors may be
cute when your dog is still a puppy, as he gets bigger they could lead to
serious problems. It is therefore important to address unwanted behaviors as
early as possible in order to prevent unnecessary inconveniences, or worse,
later on.
It is also important to note that many of these
“problem” behaviors are very normal for a dog, and therefore require
redirecting rather than trying to eliminate them completely. This can take a
certain amount of patience, persistence, understanding and finesse, as you and
your puppy develop methods of communicating that are effective and consistent.
Rather than a trial and error approach which can be costly in terms of time and
damage to your personal belongings, why not consult with a professional and
benefit from tried and true approaches to the same issues you are encountering?
In order to train your dog effectively, a certain
amount of knowledge is required to understand the reasons for the behavior
issues, before you can adequately resolve them. Unless you are a professional
dog trainer yourself, or have an extensive amount of experience raising dogs,
there may be much you do not realize about what environmental factors are
contributing to your dogs behavior. Dogs are highly intelligent and sensitive
animals, and require a significant amount of social contact and stimulation in
addition to play time and exercise, in order to keep them happy and fulfilled.
Very often there are things you can control
around your home and yard that will naturally lead to better behavior in your
dog. Simple things like making sure they always have access to water and
shelter, toys that are okay for chewing, and regular walks will prevent a
number of destructive habits from developing. A dog that feels loved will not
feel the need to seek attention in inappropriate ways, or go looking for ways
to entertain or comfort itself outside of the established rules. If your dog is
developing bad habits, you may need to look at how you are contributing to the
behavior, and work together to improve the situation. Do not hesitate to
consult with the professional training resources available to create a
harmonious environment for you, your family, and your dog.
