Excessive barking can stem from boredom, anxiety, or a need for attention. Start by identifying the cause — is your dog barking at people, other dogs, or when you're not around? Positive reinforcement techniques, like rewarding quiet behavior, can be effective. Consistency is key, so working with a dog trainer to address the underlying issue and teach your dog calm behaviors can help curb excessive barking over time.
Chewing is a natural behavior, especially for puppies, as they explore their environment. However, destructive chewing can be a sign of boredom, anxiety, or teething. Provide appropriate chew toys, and ensure your dog is getting enough physical exercise and mental stimulation. If the behavior persists, a trainer can help address the root cause and teach commands like “leave it” to redirect their focus.
Start by holding a treat close to your dog’s nose and slowly moving it upwards. As your dog’s head follows the treat, their bottom should naturally lower into a sitting position. Once they’re sitting, say “stay” and hold your hand up like a stop signal. Gradually increase the amount of time before you reward them, and practice in different environments. A trainer can help refine this and ensure your dog obeys even with distractions.
Leash pulling often happens when a dog is excited or has not learned proper walking etiquette. Use positive reinforcement when they walk beside you or follow your pace. Try stopping when they pull, and only continue walking when the leash slackens. A professional trainer can introduce techniques like loose-leash walking or using a harness to discourage pulling and improve your dog's walking behavior.
