Learn more about typical dog behavior concerns to assist you and your dog deal with some of our canine companions' habits and tendencies.

1. Jumping on you and your family

Why does he do it: As a member of the family, your pet is expected to follow some of our family rules, even if they're not always followed. One of these rules is not allowing your pet to jump on you or other family members. As a result, he is demonstrating his frustration with not being able to comply. Sometimes, when we return from a trip, our dogs are so upset by being told off, that they leap on us, thus demonstrating their frustration.

How to get rid of it: If your pet is jumping on you, and he has been told off for it, try getting him to sit. Then, try again to get him to stop the behavior. If he doesn't respond to the first time, then try using a stronger word such as "stop". If this doesn't work, then give him a sit time with your pet, until he calms down. Once he stops the jumping, he should be able to comply with your commands again.

2. Chewing on Furniture

Why does he do it: Most dogs chew on things out of boredom and frustration. However, this can be a sign that he is hungry and a sign of a health problem. If he does this to furniture, check up to make sure there is nothing wrong with him. A stomach ailment or tooth problem could be the reason he has chewed on furniture. Once you are sure there is nothing wrong with him, then ask your veterinarian to check him out.

How to get rid of it: Simply get your dog to go out and chew on an appropriate object such as bones, a toy, or a toy bone. This will get your dog to chew on the objects that you want him to chew, rather than the furniture.

3. Excessive Barking

Why does he do it: A dog barking is just how they communicate. It is their way of communicating with each other and with you. When they want to say something, they will simply bark. If they are hungry or want to release pent up energy, they will resort to barking. Here, you have a few tips to take care of this problem.

1. Make sure your dog has enough food and water. They need to be satisfied and not bored.

If you dog is hungry or thirsty, and they are within your control, then give them some food. However, if you cannot give them any food, then make sure to give them a toy or bone to chew on. Your dog will use the toy to release their pent up energy, and will be less likely to bark when you are not home.

2. Keep your dog's vaccinations up to date.

If your dog has gotten any vaccinations, ensure those vaccinations are up to date. This is to ensure the dog will not get any diseases from the diseases that are spreading lately, especially rabies. Make sure to keep track of your dog's vaccinations and get them up to date regularly.

3. If your dog is outside, make sure your dog is securely leashed.

If you dog is outside, make sure you dog is securely leashed. With the rabies outbreak, many dogs have died, and rabies can be deadly. This is another way your dog is trying to say something to you. It could be a play on words, you are not home when they bark, you are leaving them alone, you are leaving them alone because you are away, you are leaving them alone because you are busy, or you are leaving them alone because you are asleep. Whatever the reason, make sure you make sure your dog is leashed.

4. Do not give your dog treats.

Make sure to never give your dog treats. If you dog knows they can get treats, they will be less likely to bark. If you dog barks without being given a treat, this means they got out of the yard, or perhaps they discovered a squirrel. With rabies soaring, they could have gotten the disease from a bite from a rabid animal, or perhaps, they barked because they wanted attention. Whatever the reason, by giving your dog a treat, you are telling your dog that barking is an acceptable behavior.

Remember when you are giving your dog a treat, do not give them a treat if they are not busy barking. Make sure to give them their treat before they start barking. This will ensure they have had enough to eat, and then they will not be as busy barking as they normally would. Do not expect them to stop barking because you did not give them their treat. By giving your dog a treat when they are busy barking, you are actually encouraging them to bark. Make sure to do this at different times of the day, so they will not get confused.

The goal is for you and your dog to be in harmony. If you follow these steps, you will be able to stop barking dogs in no time. And when you do, remember that you are also showing your dog that it is an acceptable behavior. When you do this, you are showing your dog that they are good, and they should be rewarded for being good. If you do not find that you can stop the barking, then make sure to consult a veterinarian immediately.
