Dog Behaviour Training

If the answer to any of these questions are yes you need to invest some time into a little bit of dog behaviour training. A little training will go a long way.

Is he barking because he is afraid? Is he happy? Is there someone out there? If you can't find the reason for the barking then he is doing it because he doesn't 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 isn't good to bark.

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 realise that hands aren't there for biting. This process has to be done repeatedly for it to take effect.
