A well trained and mannered dog is a delight and great addition to any family. However, if a dog is not trained it can cause stress in both your life and the dogs and your quality of life decreases. Just like a new employee or a child, dogs need to know the rules and you need to enforce them.
Dogs know that in every pack their is one that is the leader or Alpha dog. If your dog is exhibiting destructive behaviors such as chewing on personal items, jumping on people, pulling on leash or does not listen to you then your dog has positioned itself as the Alpha dog. It takes time for a dog to develop bad habits and just like you it takes time to break those bad habits and relearn good ones. The longer you wait the harder and longer it takes to correct it. Some people give up and throw their dogs outside where they then learn to dig and bark excessively. The dog continues to become a liability and eventually the owners take the dog to the humane society where the process begins again. Then if the dog is pronounced untrainable he could quickly be put down. Don't let this happen to you and your pet. Teach proper training and enforce the rules in your house. Puppy should start learning between 8-12 months. Take your puppy to puppy classes and make sure they learn what is expected of them and that they are socialized right away. Too late for puppy class? No worries! We can teach an old dog new tricks with guidance and patience.
