Even the sweetest dogs can develop habits that annoy and upset their owners in a limited home environment.
Starting obedience training at an early age can prevent bad habits from developing, and it’s always easier to prevent bad habits before they start than to correct them when they do.
You will have to go back to some basic training if you find that some of your dog’s behavior in the house is harmful, and use a mutually acceptable correction to make your dog obedient.
Remember that dogs don’t intentionally do bad things to get back at their owners: this human trait of preferring to use punishments is not used in canines.
1. Puppies are often destructive creatures, especially when it comes to chewing on things, such as furniture, slippers and so on. When you have to leave him alone, the puppy will get upset because of the loneliness or chew on things to pass the time.
Correcting this is as simple as confining the dog to a small area alone so that it can’t destroy things. For example, it can be confined to a crate.
This will make the dog feel secure, and if it can be accompanied by the sound of a radio or television, giving it some toys or chew bones is even better. This confinement of the dog can only be temporary, and more exercise and attention should be given when you return.
Of course, as soon as you catch it in your face, you can immediately yell, “No!” Then flick the tip of its nose as a punishment.
2. Gluttonous Dogs Some dogs are like “scavengers”, they will eat any food they see. Every time they succeed in stealing food, they deepen this bad habit and become habitual thieves. The way to correct this is simple. Just teach your dog to sit down before eating, and every time you feed it, put the food in a bowl, not directly from other plates or table food to feed it.
Once he understands that he has to obey and behave in order to have food, he will be less likely to steal food behind your back. As a precaution, however, it’s best to keep lure treats where your dog can’t find them.
3. Some male dogs are over-sexed and when their natural outlet for sexual desire is restricted, they may appear to crawl and rub against people’s legs or climb up furniture. This is often the case with male dogs between the ages of one and two.
At this point, you can distract the dog by spraying it with water from a sprayer or water gun, and some kind of restraint should be put in place immediately so that the dog understands that this is a bad behavior. Neutering can prevent it altogether.
4. Lonely dogs often have an anxiety about being alone. Nervous dogs will growl and even bark if left alone in the home. This is especially true of dogs that were not properly socialized outdoors as puppies. Some dogs that have moved on to several owners will do this as well.
Such a puppy is very poor, you can before leaving home can give the dog a little special treatment, such as take a dog’s favorite toy in the hands of Mo Mo, and then give it, can also give it a good taste of animal marrow bone. Be careful not to annoy or irritate your dog when you leave home. If the dog is placed in a cage, it will feel secure instead.
5. Whether it is a big dog, a medium dog or a small dog, it is very interested in garbage and likes to drill garbage piles or garbage cans. This is a foraging habit inherited from its ancestors. Puppies especially like to dig for treasures, so that the ground is littered with garbage.
If you have a puppy, be sure to use a trash can with a lid and a heavy weight on top, or simply isolate it so it can’t get to it. Of course, if you find it on the spot, you must stop it in time and reprimand it loudly, so that it will run away with its tail between its legs.
6. The habit of going up to bed, tables and chairs must not be allowed to let it form, see it jump on the master’s throne immediately corrected, otherwise, it is on the bed will be very difficult to please go down.
7. Because dogs like to chase by nature, if you develop a habit of chasing cars, motorcycles, bicycles, letter carriers, passers-by, both unsafe and easy to cause trouble. At this time, suddenly the rope around its neck to let go long, and then violently pull back, while reprimanding, does not work on the rope to knock its back, and then not, pull it, knock the nose.
8. lick things on the ground, immediately pick open the dog’s mouth, dig out things, scold it heavily, hit it on the chin. At the same time, pay attention to whether it has not eaten enough. It is best to develop the habit of not eating outside, so as to favor the safety of the dog and avoid the occurrence of food poisoning.
9. Many times the dog slipped out of the house and could not be found. At this time, the available rope (not the usual walks out of the chain) holding the dog towards the door, to the door when tightening the rope shouting “no”. Then change the person with a longer rope to hold it, when it walks to the door with you, shouting “no”, the other end of the rope, several times down, it probably do not dare to easily cross out of the house.
