CANINE PROBLEM
BEHAVIORS
» While outside, your puppy or dog should
be contained in a fenced area or walked
on a leash.
» It's not a good idea to tie your puppy or adult
dog outside. No matter how carefully you
watch him, there is always the possibility that
he could break loose or be bothered and
unable to escape.
CHEWING
A puppy's chewing problem is usually due to
teething, lack of appropriate outlets for exercise,
or stress. Giving a puppy ice cubes can help
alleviate sore gums, and plenty of safe chew toys
will provide appropriate outlets for chewing.
When you catch your puppy in the act of
chewing something off limits, bring this
inappropriate behavior to your puppy's attention
by saying " No! " or " Ahhh! " and redirecting his
attention to chewing a safe toy. Praise him when
he chews the toy by saying in a high-pitched,
happy voice " Good boy! "
CRYING AND WHINING
Dogs love human companionship. Although
being left alone is sometimes necessary, it can be
stressful - especially for a young dog. A puppy
may not be sure when you are going to return.
Your puppy or young dog needs reassurance and
lots of reinforcement.
» You may want to start teaching him to stay
alone by letting him spend short periods of
time in his crate while you are at home. Praise
him when he is quiet.
» Be consistent
» Be firm and gentle
» Never hit or strike
» Always reward good behavior
» Follow through with each command
» Try not to make a big production out of
leaving or returning, to avoid reinforcing any
possible feelings of anxiety.
» Provide safe toys as a distraction from
loneliness. You might also leave a radio
playing softly in another room, so that he
hears voices and feels secure.
