Training Method

The best method in training a dog is using positive training. Rewarding a dog for good behavior is part of positive training. This is a good way for the dog to know everything is okay. Start training your dog in short sessions. All learning should be done step by step. Dogs are like all animals, it takes time to learn something new.

dog behavior problems?

my wheaten terrier is almost one and has been acting very naughty

she keeps on chewing everything-fallen papers, remotes, rabbit bedding, and she just chewed my mom phone. we try to supply the house with chew toys-but she breaks most of them-all she has is a kong toy and a nylabone-which sometimes she gets bored with. what can i do to stop this chewing problem (dont say hit her please)

another problem is that when we try to brush her she wont remain calm and snaps at us-anyway to get her to behave well when we brush her?

thank you and please help!
btw-she is probally not teething anymore since she is almost one and
she is crate trained and does know the command leave it but if a paper drops on the floor we r usually too late because she grabs it and pretends its a game (or she destroys whatever she has i.e-my glasses-my moms cell phone)
oh and any recomendations for toys-strong durable ones? ive bought her so many-none of them last. she LOVES squeaky toys-but she chews on them so strong and long and she tries to rip out the squeaker
she has also chewed up latex toys-very destructable puppy =]

Answer
this is natural for all puppies. it happened to mine, and it means your dog is probably teething. this is when your doggy’s teeth are still coming up through her gums. it’s like when you were young; it really hurt, too! so give her some sympathy, and let her chew! however, if she chews on anything other than her chew toys, grab her gently by the scruff and go,”pssst! or sssss!” a little loudly. dogs hate this noise, so she’ll know to stop. you only have two toys, too, so keep in mind YOU NEED MORE! also, the toys you have aren’t really going to capture a young dog’s attention. go to your local pet store and buy some vibrant toys that squeak or make interesting noises. make sure they are also bumpy to massage your dogs teeth, or plushy, so they’ll want to shake it around! they love these toys. get three or so more, and make sure they’re very durable so they’ll last you a while. thin rubber toys won’t last you long! go buy some toys, and make to gently scold your puppy when she’s being naughty. when you brush her, it’s natural for her to do this! before you brush her, get a damp towel and stick it in the fridge overnight (keep some handy) and let her chew on that as well as a nice chew toy! it’ll soothe her mouth and hurting gums. good luck!
