Teach Your Dog Not to Jump

You might find that your dog jumps on people who come to your house. Maybe your dog chews everything when left alone. Or maybe, you find your dog barking for no reason, sitting on your furniture, or even pulling your leash while walking. Complaints about dog problems are common and the good news is there's some simple things you can do to about this bad behavior.

First of all, your dog doesn't understand the rules and they are just being a dog, doing what they think is fun. Your dog doesn't know what's right or wrong unless you teach it to him. The key to effective dog training is not harsh punishment by spanking which will only result in negative problems. The best way to train your dog is through habit control using positive and negative reinforcement so your dog learns what's bad behavior and what is not. Dogs are creatures of habit. Just like any habit, it must be interrupted and modified  to change it. Your best training tool is to use a leash and collars. So here are few examples of how you can use your leash to your advantage to train your dog.

Let's say your dog barks too much. Usually this is when you leave your dog outside for a long period of  time. They are then free to bark at anything without any guidance from you. Unfortunately barking is an instinct to a dogs behavior pattern and comes very natural to them. Excessive barking can be controlled. Put your dog on a leash and when your dog barks, firmly jerk the leash upward. Then give a strong vocal command like "stop!".You can even hold the back of your dog's head with both hands and look into their eyes. Then say, "stop!". Be careful not to be too rough because its about changing your dog's behavior. If your dog has a habit of jumping on people, you can again use the leash to pull back your dog when they jump on someone and give a strong audible command "off" while pulling on the leash to pull them off. Do this many times and your dog will understand it.

One more example, your dog pulls when you're walking him. It's almost as if your dog is walking you! Again, with leash in hand, every time your dog pulls, you pull back on the leash and yell, "heal!". Repeat this until your dog stops pulling. You may even want to take it one step further by holding your dog to one side of you at all times. Do this while your dog stays at your side while walking them. Good luck!!
