Dogs are recognized to be man's best friend, you as the owner of the dog, are responsible for training your dog, if you want him to live up to being mans best friend. when you take home that cute little dog it has a loving and unruly nature. What he requires is discipline and that's you come into play.
On the whole dogs are usually the most adorable of pets, inherently loyal, fun loving, comforting and always entertaining. All The Same, you have to face the fact that dogs are three years old standing in terms of discipline. That is why a training program early is crucial. Dogs absolutely love their owners fondness and like to please them. It is up to you to make your puppy recognize what is required of him in the way he behaves. In their view, life is in a continual state of fun. They have no idea what is good or bad behaviour, unless you let them know what is. One of the most common dog behavior problems you will have to put a stop to is the biting pup syndrome.
Puppies enjoy chewing on everything, as any dog owner can affirm. The biting pup may have an enjoyable session with your favorite slippers, a book or a tasty bone. He should certainly be able to enjoy his bone, but you have got to provide behavioral guidance that points him away from your slippers or your current reading material. He does not understand there is a difference, unless you let him know. If you just let him do his thing, he may soon be an disrespectful biting puppy, with the whole world in his approved list of biting behavior. If you're an irresponsible dog owner, you have no one to blame but yourself when he graduates to biting you, your children or your next door neighbour whenever it pleases him. The biting puppy, unchecked, will become a biting dog, bringing you and him in a whole lot of trouble.
Just like children, dogs require behavioural guidance. Getting a biting puppy to understand the limitations is actually quite easy. Where do you draw the line? Biting food items and bones is a good rule of thumb. Anything else is a deal breaker. If you allow him to bite an old, worn out pair of slippers, you're giving him a license to bite and chew up a assortment of household items. He cannot distinguish between things which are OK to bite and those which are not.
Puppies, while teething, are prone to be biting puppies. However cute you might think their decimation of yesterday's newspaper, you have got to put your foot down. Dogs only understand rules in terms of the absolute. It's either OK or not OK. The punishment must also fit the crime. In the case of inanimate objects, a rolled up newspaper, with a sharp noise report, will get your message across.
You must hold in reserve the most serious punishment for infractions which involve your puppy biting a human. No matter how fun loving, lacking in malice or whatever, a puppy must be deterred from the idea that biting a human is acceptable. Let's say your daughter decides to share some fat scraps from her dinner plate with her pup. He's certainly eager to share in this largess, inadvertently biting her in his haste. While he means no harm, if you let this pass uncorrected, you are giving him a green light for behavior that spells trouble down the road.
In order to cut off immediately and unequivocally puppy biting behavior, you will have to come down on him hard. A strong blow to the nose, the removal of the food and a dog version of time out is what we have to impose. Put on his leash and give him a taste of isolation on his own, along with a "bad dog." This is the language and action that he can understand. He knows that his conduct resulted in a punishment, the loss of the desired item and isolation from his family.
With this strategy, you can quickly and easily train your biting puppy out of its bad habits. By the time your pet is six months old, you will have a small dog that knows its limits!
