Behavioral Problems

Dogs Behavioral problems often cause an owner to feel they must give up their pet. Problems can range from submissive urination to dangerous aggression, from destructiveness to disobedience, from too active and playful to ignoring you completely. Identifying exactly what is the cause of the problem is sometimes half the battle. For instance, destructiveness is usually caused by boredom. Rule #1: A tired dog is usually a good dog, make sure your dog gets enough exercise.

I usually find the root cause of behavioural problems in dogs is down to incorrect training.I believe a dog needs to have boundries set .This is where basic obedience comes in.A 1 to 2 week course with us usually is the starting point at changing your dogs inappropriate behaviour,followed by a change in thinking of the owners.At the end of the obedience course you will be shown how to implement the newly taught commands.You will then be given written instruction on how to modify your dogs behaviour  at home,usually with both these (the obedience and your knowledge of dog pack behaviour) your dog will calm down and become a valued member of your family once more.

We are normally able to change the behaviour of most dogs including those whose owners think the only way out  is either a trip to the dog pound or the vets.We have had dogs who have bitten their owners,bitten friends and relations and who are basically out of control, we have managed to help most.
