Solving Common Behavior Problems
The most important point to work on is the prevention and management aspect of training. This means controlling your dog's access to the things he wants … including freedom to certain areas of the house. Dogs should earn their freedom in increments. Normally a dog shouldn't have free run of a house until about the age of one year. We need to create an environment for safety and success. In other words, use baby gates and supervised tethering to control your dog's access and keep him safe at the same time. But we also need to teach him how to resolve his desire, such as stealing food from the table. That brings us to training.
Positive training is proactive rather than reactive. It has to do with teaching your dog appropriate behavior rather than trying to stop inappropriate behavior. For example, rather than trying to teach your dog to stop stealing pot roasts from the table, teach your dog to lie down whenever you put food on the table. Once your dog is convinced that lying down will actually get him what he really wants—a food treat—he'll gladly stay there until he is rewarded.
Please Note: Behavior problems involving aggression require evaluation by a professional and are beyond the scope of these sessions. Consult your veterinarian and a professional dog trainer who uses positive training methods.
