Common Dog Behavior Problems

 

Dog Behavior Problem - Bite Inhibition
Dogs must learn how sensitive human skin is to their teeth, so you have to teach your dog a "bite inhibition" to solve this common dog behavior problem.
Start by letting your dog bite your hand and give a very high pitched "yelp" just loud enough to pretend it hurts. Do not jerk your hand away. This should cause your dog to show some calming behavior like head turning, shaking, licking, or scratching.
If your dog continues to bite hard, you give another high-pitched "yelp" and walk away from your dog.
Soon your dog will learn that the behavior of biting is no longer rewarding as you refuse to give attention. This non-reinforcement should stop this common dog behavior problem.

Dog Behavior Problem - Destructive Chewingdog_behavior_destructive_chewing
Chewing, ripping, shredding, and generally destroying stuff is a dog behavior problem. For dogs, chewing is a form of therapy to relieve stress and release energy. If you come home and find that your dog has destroyed something, do not punish the dog.
When you are home, always lavish your dog with praise every time you see him playing with or chewing his toys.
Most chewing problems occur just before the dog owner returns home. Litter a special area with a variety of interesting dog toys. Do stuff rawhide, marrowbones, and Snack balls. The dog will be entertained for hours trying to extricate the treats from the toy.

Dog Behavior Problem - Leash Pulling
Nothing is so rewarding for your dog as taking you for your daily walk, pulling like a husky on a snow sleigh. The reward for this common dog behavior is powerful! Leash Pulling brings your dog wherever he wants to go.
Stop walking every time the leash goes tight and your dog starts to pull, wait until the leash goes slack, and reward it.
Yes, it is that simple, if you do not let your dog pull you, and reward your dog walking on a loose leash instead, soon you will stop this dog behavior problem.
In the same way, you attached names to all other wanted dog behaviors you can attach a name to the behavior of walking on a loose leash.

dog_behavior_jumping_upDog Behavior Problem - Jumping up
This is the most common unwanted behavior you can teach your dog! When did you teach it? Every time you lifted your puppy towards our face, every time you gave attention by exchanging enthusiastic greetings, is how you reinforced this common dog behavior. To stop your dog jumping up, all you have to do is consistently remove the reinforcement your dog gets for this unwanted dog behavior. If your dog jumps up, just look up and away totally ignore the behavior, wait till your dog stops jumping up and either sits, or stands quietly. Repeat this until your arrival becomes a stimulus for sitting.

Dog Behavior Problem - Digging
Digging is a highly enjoyable and natural dog activity.
If your dog loves digging, provide him with his own digging pit just as parents would provide their child with a sand box. Take some of his favorite dog toys and let him watch you make a fuss over burying them. Call your dog over and help him dig things up.
Once your dog understands that digging in his pit is an acceptable and enjoyable activity, you can teach him that digging elsewhere is forbidden. The first step is to teach your dog to stay completely off the flower and vegetable gardens.
Each time he gets close to the wrong area, quietly warn him by saying 'Off.' If he stays away immediately praise him.

Dangerous Behavior Problem - Chasingdog_behavior_chasing
Chasing is an hazardous dog behavior problem. Moving objects stimulate the dogs predatory nature and cause the dog to chase. Until you have learned to control your dogs chasing instinct, do not let him off-leash. It is dangerous for the dog and the object he is chasing.
If your dog is chasing cars, do a 'NO' exercise as a friend repeatedly drives by. It's important that you practice this in a set-up situation. The driver must be aware of the training so he/she can stop the car immediately should you lose control over your dog.

Dog Behavior Problem - Begging at the table
If you reward your dog with food scraps from the table when you are eating, you will very quickly teach this rewarding behavior of begging at the table.
To stop this common dog behavior problem you must first stop feeding your dog from the table. Then you ignore your dog 'begging' during dinner, and after dinner put whatever scraps you want to feed your dog into your dog’s dish in the kitchen. Soon you will have your dog waiting by the dish in the kitchen, reward this wanted alternate behavior.
