Dogs are known to be man's best friend, you as the owner of the dog, are responsible for training your dog, if you want him to live up to being mans best friend. when you take home that cute little dog it has a loving and boisterous nature. What he needs is discipline and that's you come into play. Dogs are more often than not the most lovable of animals, inherently faithful, fun loving, comforting and entertaining. All The Same, you have got to face the fact that dogs are permanent 3 year olds, in terms of discipline. That is why an early program of training is crucial. Dogs absolutely love to please their owner. It is up to you to let your pup know what's required of him in the behavioural category. From his point of view, he is in a continual state of having fun. He does not know good from bad conduct unless you make the distinction. One of the most everyday dog conducts you will require to curb is the biting puppy syndrome. Puppies like to chew on everything, as any dog owner will tell you. The biting pup may have a nice time chewing on your carpet slippers, a book or a tasty bone. He should be able to enjoy any of his bones, but you want to provide the guidance to their behaviour, so it keeps your pet away from your slippers. They do not know that there is a difference, unless you let them know. If you let your pet do as they wish, you may soon have an disrespectful biting pup, with everything in their approved list of biting behavior. If you are an irresponsible dog owner you will have no one to blame but yourself for this, when he graduates to bite you, your children or your neighbor every time he wants to. A biting pup that is unchecked, will become a dog that bites, landing you both in a lot of problems. Like children, dogs need behavioural counseling. To get a biting pup to realise their are constraints is really easy. Where do you draw the line? Biting food and bones is a good rule. Anything else is breaking any agreement you have with your dog. If you permit them to chew on a old worn out pair of slippers, this is giving them a permission to bite and chew a variety of household items. He can not distinguish between things that are good to bite and those that they are not. Pups, while teething, are prone to be biting pups. However cute you might think his decimation of yesterday's paper, you have got to put your foot down. Dogs only understand rules in terms of the absolute. It's either OK or not OK. The punishment should also fit the crime. In the case of inanimate objects, a rolled up newspaper, with a sharp noise report, will get your message across. You must hold in reserve the most serious punishment for infractions which involve your pup biting a human. No matter how fun loving, lacking in malice or whatever, a puppy must be deterred from the idea that biting a human is acceptable. Let's say your daughter decides to share some fat scraps from her dinner plate with her pup. He's certainly eager to share in this largess, inadvertently biting her in his haste. While he means no harm, if you let this pass undisciplined, you are giving him a green light for behavior that spells trouble down the road. In order to cut off immediately and unequivocally puppy biting behavior, you will have to come down on him hard. A strong blow to the nose, the removal of the food and a dog version of time out is what we have to impose. Put on his leash and give him a taste of isolation on his own, along with a "bad dog." This is the language and action that he can understand. He knows that his conduct resulted in a punishment, the loss of the desired item and isolation from his family. With this strategy, you can quickly and easily train your biting pup out of its bad habits. By the time your pet is six months old, you will have a small dog that knows its limits!
