Dog behavior training is more than making your dog all obedient and safe to leave home alone, process is to complex to reduce it to this. Since dog owners have to be an active part involved in dog behavior training, they come to learn and discover the unexpressed sides of their pets. In a nut shell, dog behavior training is about getting an obedient animal around the house while also getting more familiar with the needs and expectations of a close friend that doesn’t speak the same language. You should be ready to learn about the drives behind your dog’s behavior.

The drives or instincts that make your animal react in a certain way to specific stimuli are the main focus of dog behavior training. The explanation for low sociability may be rooted in the animal’s genes or in its close environment, once you get to manipulate these drives by dog behavior training, spectacular changes are not short to appear. Therefore special institutions and centres that provide assistance for dog behavior training have a scientific background of tests and studies about the nature and flexibility of the canine drives.

Probably the most significant part of dog training behavior lies in understanding the way you can encourage or discourage certain drives, and the skills of a trainer are best reflected here. The main instincts that are targeted by dog behavior training are: prey, play, pack, defense and food. The order is not relevant for their importance, since each plays an important part in the dog’s life determining the relationships with their masters and with other dogs. However, mention should be made that the domination of a certain instinct varies from one breed to another, and dog behavior training also tackles with breed specificity in the context.

Many people are surprised to learn that dog behavior training implies teaching the animal how to play. This special drive seems to be the one that is not inherent to the genetic structure of your pet. In order to learn how to jump and wrestle it is essential that the owners help the puppy acquire the skills, normally they would be the responsibility of the mother and the brothers as its true pack, but in their absence, you need to do it. The educational side is an essential part of dog behavior training, since it actually shapes the future relationship you develop with your pet in the future.

I heard that the water spraying is very sufficient with unbehaved dogs.
You don't want to be weak in front of your dog so don't give him every thing he wants so then he wouldn't think that you are weak. Most dogs have some form of dog behavior problems, but each of them can be overcome by a dog owner who cares enough to learn how to rise above them. More often than not, the problem isn’t that the dog is being defiant. The problem is that he doesn’t understand what’s expected of him. Once his owner learns how to clearly convey that to him, he could be the most amazing dog his owner could ever ask for.

I think if your looking to train a dog, you dont want to be mean. Its good to be firm but not mean. We find it eaiser to train with treats. If they are doing something bad like say chewing up the couch say Bad Dog! firmly and when hes not chewing it and chewing on a bone give him a treat or BUNCHES of praises. (Good luck)
