Finding Solutions That Fix Bad Dog Behavior

By Sara Reighard


No dog breed is considered to be truly bad though certain dogs may demand more effort than others. Dogs truly want to make their owners happy while receiving lot and attention in return. Dogs' misbehavior is quite common and they can become destructive or naughty but this usually has some good reasons behind it. To get the most out of your relationship, it is important to learn why a dog misbehaves to help teach you ways on how to manage their difficult behavior.

Dogs misbehave due primarily four reasons. They might be lonely, bored, scared or untrained. Not being taught proper behavior can often lead to dogs to misbehave. Many problems are solved with dog training and this includes teaching your dog to obey basic commands, walk properly on a leash, stop running away and coming whenever you call them.

For dog training in Seattle or puppy training in Seattle, consider getting started with Seattle Family Dog Training. They can provide Seattle dog obedience training lessons and support to have your pet display near-perfect behavior in just five weeks. You will learn how to teach your pet based upon his or her personality and create commands and signals that will show your dog how to behave in a variety of situations.

When anxious, dogs tend to become destructive particularly when one is being untrained. Separation anxiety is common to many dogs and this causes them to chew on things or scratch at doors or create other damaging behavior when you are not at home. Staying at home at all times can be impossible though there are other steps to control such destructive behavior.

A good alternative to find is to look for dog walking or pet sitting services to come and take your dog out for regular walks. Dogs can go to the bathroom when needed under their guidance and they are also able to get exercise activities to keep them at bay and make your homes safe. Using a crate is a wonderful solution especially if you will only be away for an hour or two. If you work for a considerable amount of time, a doggie day care center can be taken into consideration. Dogs crave for human interaction whereas cats usually rely on their own.

Boredom also can cause problems. Many dogs are just fine with a morning walk and some easy play time, but many other dogs have much more energy. When they don't have an opportunity to release this energy, they find other ways to dealing with their boredom, such as snacking on our shoes. Make sure your dog gets plenty of stimulating exercise, fun games and also provide chew toys and toys such as the kind that contain a small treat, which your dog must work hard to extricate. All of these will keep Fido too busy and happy to be destructive.
