Bad behavior in your English Springer Spaniel can
manifest itself in many problems. Does he bark all night and keep you from
sleeping? Are you afraid he is going to bite someone? Does he chew everything
except his toys? If the answer to any of these questions are yes you need to
invest some time into a little bit of dog behavior training. A little training
will go a long way.
Dogs that bark can be extremely irritating but the
main thing is not to loose your cool, if you shout at him he will try to shout
louder than you. Try and find out the cause of his barking. Is he barking
because he is afraid? Is he happy? Is there someone outside your home? If you
cant find the reason for the barking then he is doing it because he
doesnt know it is wrong. This is where dog behavior training comes in.
There are lots of products available to help dogs with constant barking, there
are special collars which gives them the tiniest of electric shocks so they
know that it isnt good to bark.
A biting dog is perhaps one of
the more serious behavior problems, especially now that the laws are tightened
and any dog that bites someone is more than likely to get put down. Teaching
your dog not to bite is one of the most important teachings you can give him.
This is where you have to be firm and stick to your guns. When playing with a
young dog they will automatically nip and gnaw at your hand. This is because
when dogs play together they play with their mouths. When teaching your dog not
to bite stroke him with one hand while offering something which is acceptable
to be bitten with the other hand, something like a chew toy or a raw hide
treat. Your dog will soon realise that hands arent there for biting. This
process has to be done repeatedly for it to take effect.
Dog behavior
training is simple enough for the experienced dog lover but when it comes to
beginners, they may need all the help available. Accept help from friends and
family and maybe even enroll in a dog behavior training class. This will help
you to meet other people having the same problems with their dogs that you are
with yours. You are not alone when it comes to having trouble with dog behavior
problems. Every dog will get them, it's just a matter of how you fix
them.
There are special services available that do dog training in your
home. For a fee you can hire someone to come to your home to train your dog.
You choose how long you want the program to last. They will then send out a
specialized handler who will determine what is the most effective training
method for your dog. Then they will carry the training and of course you have
to join in to.
