The Importance of Behaviour and Obedience Dog Training

Given the choice if asked a majority of people would say one of the cutest creatures on earth is a puppy. Puppies can add a fun spirit to an otherwise uneventful home and will definately quickly become either an important part of the family or a trusty companion but whatever you do, do not underestimate the importance of behaviour and obedience dog training.

Many families adopt a young puppy in an effort to teach their children responsibility and also how to respect another living creature,but beware. Puppies aren’t all about being adorable though. As many pet owners will tell you canine behavior problems begin when a dog is just a puppy and, if those problems aren’t addressed at a very early stage the puppy can mature into a dog that consistently misbehaves.

It’s understandable that when a puppy does something bad, most people will attribute it to the dog’s age as they would a young childs.

But just as with a young child a puppy will push the boundaries of the envelope and will try and get away with as much as possible until taught otherwise.

This is why many of the canine behavior problems that puppies exhibit should be addressed immediately.

One such example is when a puppy bites on things. Puppies do teethe just as human babies do. A puppy will lose it’s baby teeth and they will be replaced by adult teeth. During this process a puppy may find it comforting to chew on items such as slippers or shoes. If this type of canine behavior isn’t corrected, the puppy will assume that it’s okay to continue biting. So it is imperative that this behaviour is nipped in the bud before the puppy matures.

Another common problem that many pet owners seem to face is when a puppy just won't won’t stop barking. Dogs use their vocal chords to express how they feel and it’s not uncommon to hear a puppy whining in protest very soon after you bring it home form a walk in the park for example.

Puppies will also growl when they feel threatened. But bear in mind that these two types of canine behavior patterns are normal and are healthy for the puppy.

However, it must be said that if the puppy continues to repeatedly bark for no apparent reason this again needs to be addressed. One of the biggest canine behavior problems is continual barking.

I don't know about you but I'm guessing that If you have ever lived in a neighborhood where a dog barked and barked constantly without a break, you will know how frustrating and disturbing this can be. If this particular dog behavior problem is corrected when the dog is young there is a much better chance that it can be changed.

Whenever a dog jumps on people or furniture, this can also be quite problematic. This is especially true if the dog is on the larger side of life. It can be frightening and dangerous for visitors and especially small children if a large dog jumps on them as they enter your home. This type of canine behavior problem can again be easily fixed when the puppy is still small. You simply need to remind it each time it does jump, by speaking sternly to it. This will help correct the problem before it gets out of hand.

Dogs are wonderful, loving animals and can make terrific pets. With a bit of attention and the correct behaviour and obedience dog training when they are young, you can train your dog to be the perfect family pet or long term companion.
