Training dog not to bark
Dogs that bark can be extremely irritating but the main thing is not to loose your cool, if you shout at him he will try to shout louder than you. Try and find out the cause of his barking. Is he barking because he is afraid? Is he happy? Is there someone out there? If you can not find the reason for the barking then he is doing it because he does not know it is wrong to bark all the time. This is where dog behaviour training comes in. There are lots of products available to help dogs with constant barking; there are special collars which gives them the tiniest of electric shocks so they know that it is not good to bark.
Training dog not to biting
A biting dog is maybe one of the more serious behaviour problems, especially now that the laws are tightened and any dog that bites someone is more than likely to get put down. Teaching your dog not to bite is one of the most important teachings you can give him. This is where you have to be firm and stick to your guns. When playing with a young dog they will automatically nip and gnaw at your hand this is because when dogs play together they play with their mouths. When teaching your dog not to bite stroke him with one hand while offering something which is acceptable to be bitten with the other hand, something like a chew toy or a raw hide treat. Your dog will soon realize that hands are not there for biting. This process has to be done repeatedly for it to take result.
Dog behaviour training is simple enough for the experienced dog lover but when it comes to beginners all the help available is needed. Accept help from friends and family and maybe even enroll in a dog behaviour training class, this will help you to meet other people, having the same problems with their dogs that you are with yours. You're not alone when it comes to having trouble with dog behaviour problems. Every dog will get them; it is just a matter of how you fix them.
