DOG BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS

If your dog has a behavior problem or an attitude problem there is no need to worry because you are not the only one dealing with this problem. It is important that you take into consideration the fact that two very different species are involved, which can make communication difficult. Much like how different cultures between humans can spark problems, you may see a problem in your dogs attitude problem.

You have to look at it as if you were a dog, as crazy as this may seem. You have authority over your dog, but if you don’t use the power than your dog sees it as if you are equals. This can be directly correlated with a communication problem and the way you act toward your dog. Luckily for you, you can change a dog’s attitude.

So where do you start? You have to start by taking control of their most valued possessions to show them who is boss. This will allow you to earn your dog’s respect and show him that you are worthy of the respect. By taking control of the things that matter to him most, he will see that with an attitude problem he won’t get those things any more.

This does not mean you need to deprive your dog, but you want to help your dog learn that an attitude problem is not ok. You will be surprised to see how quickly your dog will change its attitude to get back the things that mean most.

The most important thing you have to change that will quickly change your dog’s attitude and behavior problem is the attention you hand out. Dog’s rely on their owners for support and acknowledgement, and they will quickly learn to give you respect if they are not getting that attention. By no means do you want to use any kind of physical correction to get your point across, but walking away from your dog will get the point across.

If for whatever reason you are seeing no changes in your dog’s attitude by changing the way you deliver attention, you may want to leave them outside for awhile or in his crate. This will serve as a timeout and will show him that if he wants to get what he wants, he will have to cooperate. Dealing with a dog behavior problem takes time but is well worth it!

It is important to note that as you change rules around, your dog’s attitude may escalate momentarily as they try to adapt to these changes. They have been used to a certain rule for so long and it can be difficult changing. But if you are firm and positive at the same time, you should be able to quickly change your dog’s problematic behavior and attitude by showing them they have to cooperate.

Dog behavior problem?

Our 8 yr. old Mini Dachshund has started (last 3-4 months) leaving the house (via pet door) whenever we start to cook in kithchen. This can be breakfast, dinner or whatever and it doesn’t seem to make any difference what we are cooking. Is it the odors that she wants to escape? She cannot be coaxed back in – will stay on patio or in fenced backyard until we sit down to eat. Should we ignore this? Put “night” cover on pet door and make her stay in? Thanks!!

Answer
If so doesn’t want to see you cook, then there should be no problem, let her go outside.You are probably right on the smell aspect of the reason she leaves.At 8 years old she knows what she wants to do and does it.Why make her stay inside, if she liked to she would..Enjoy her and let her control her coming and going……
