Dog Behavior Training: Tips and Tricks to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Behavior Problems

By Jeffrey Castle

Dogs are both loyal and playful pets to have around; however, dogs are also pets that require a lot of work and patience to take care of. They bark, they run around, they dig, they chew, and they can occasionally wreck some parts of your house. Nevertheless, we love dogs as they are our favorite companions.

Yet, the question is, how do we take care of them? Most dog owners have asked this question when they first brought their dog home. Not only do you need to watch over your dog, but you also have to train and exercise him. You need to know the best and most efficient way of taking care of your dog, especially when you're not around.

Since every breed is different, this book will cover the basis of how you should treat your dog regardless of the type of breed you own. Pretty soon, your dog will be doing fun tricks like shake or roll over and you'll have exclusive bragging rights as a dog owner.

Introduction

Pets are not only cute but they also make a great companion to have around whether you’re feeling lonely or you just want to liven up your house.

Each pet is different and while some can be lazy and quiet, dogs, on the other hand, are very lively pets to have around the house.

Of course, it’s probably going to take more effort to take care of a dog than any other type of animals.

Dogs bark. They bark a lot and they bark loudly. They can bark in the middle of the night or as early as 6 A.M. in the morning.

Granted, you will become very annoyed when they do that but, in the end, they won’t stop unless you properly train them to stop.

Likewise, like all humans, dogs need their potty breaks. However, they’re not going to do it in the restroom like all other humans.

If your dog is untrained, his potty break is going to be all over the house, especially if you’re the type that allows your dog to be indoors.

It’s a lot easier for pet owners to handle their dogs when the pet is outdoors most of the time, but the point of a pet is to have them with you so you have to remember to let him in from time to time. This is where the training comes in.

If you’re buying a puppy, they’ll be a lot easier to train because their instincts have yet to completely take over.

If you’re buying a grown dog, they’ll be much harder to train because they’ll be used to their old routine and it’ll be difficult to change their habits.

Of course, it’s not always the age that matters when choosing a
