Top Behavior Issues in Dogs

Well-behaved dogs are a product of training, positive reinforcement and socialization. Here are the top behavior issues in dogs which have been identified:

• Jumping on people

When dogs jump on people, they can scratch legs or ruin clothes. Jumping on children and old people may unintentionally knock them down.

• Nonstop barking

Although barking is a normal canine instinct, it can become irritating to you and your neighbors when your dog does it all the time. Some dog breeds tend to bark and yap particularly when there are strangers or they hear noise that is out of the ordinary.

• Gnawing and biting

Puppies pass through a phase when they are cutting teeth. During this time, they chew on anything they can get their teeth on including shoes, books, furniture, etc. They usually outgrow this phase however there are growing and older dogs that may chew on things for various reasons.

If you are having problems with your puppy's behavior, talk with a veterinarian Brookfield.
