What Causes Bad Dog Behavior?
By knowing the situations and actions or things that instigate bad behavior in your dog, and by learning how badly your small dog acts in the presence of those things, or in those situations or actions going around, you can easily teach the dog how to avoid reacting in the notorious way and how to act properly in a well-behaved manner.
Often a small dog bad behavior syndrome is observed whenever a new guest appears and knocks on the front door. You can simply plan a regular practice session for your dog that will tend him to forget the bad behavior which is instigated by the alarming presence of the guest through knocking on the door and to acquire an easier and well behaved manner to react in such situation.
The small dog will act erratically as it would be disturbed by the knocking of the door and ringing of the bell, but as you will keep commanding him with the simple sit, stand, stay calm commands, the small dog will learn to behave calmly in such instigating situations, and only then, you can further the behavioral session for the dog by including a real stranger as a guest in your home. Call some of your friend to your home who is still not familiar with your small dog. The dog will get irritated with the stranger knocking on the door, calm the small dog down with the similar set of commands, and then let your friend come-in, the dog may show some erratic behavior. Follow the same steps and give proper commands to your dog about how to behave when a stranger comes in. With proper care and better practice of commands, the dog will learn how to behave. Similarly, you can teach the dog how to remain well mannered while you take your dog out for a stroll or you take your pet with you in a shopping mall.
The practice session may take the following steps
- Practice the sit and stay commands with the small dog in front of the closed door.
- You may take help of a family member in this practice session to act as a guest.
- Let the member who is taking part in this behavioral session for the dog to wait outside the door for a while.
- After some time, while you are practicing simple sit and stay an stand command with your cute lovable small dog, ask the other member to knock the door or ring the bell which, you have noticed earlier to cause bad behavior in the dog.
