The normal mistake is that most people always thought dog behavior as can only be good or bad where actually it is most likely be both. Behavior challenges are as widespread with dogs as they are with ushuman.
Just like people, where behavior can be shaped and replaced, dog behavior can be altered by modification programs. Behavior modification engage consideration, and alteration of dog behavior through reward and punishment exercises conducted again and again which at times can last for weeks or months.
The belief that you cannot train an old dog new tricks is certainly erroneous. Even though there is no guarantee that training will solve all dog behavioral problems, they do establish a solid groundwork for solving just about any dog problem. Understanding that dog behavior changes quickly from time to time, constant training and consistency is therefore important in shaping dogs behavior.
Since dogs are unlike people who adapt their many behavioral qualities from their ancestors, people have the psychological competence to self-alter their behavioral instinct with an improved behavior by logical reckoning which are not likely with dogs. However since dog behavior are most of the times developed from where they live and who has owned them before, it is absolutely likely that the change of owner behavior and environment where the dog is living could modify their behavior traits.
There again, once you understood the reason following each of the dog behavior problems, then you can solve it by modification programs, whether the behavior challenges comes from separation anxiety, territorial aggression, health issues or awful previous owners.
These grounds are as valid as the grounds sometimes we as human being misbehave, like littering, throwing tantrums, and other behavior nuisance that we normally felt as a turned off in this civilized world. For example, your dog might be misbehaving because to separation anxiety, and then you know how to precondition your dog to your absence by giving a safe toy and by increasing the absence of your company gradually.
While if your dog show aggression due to territorial protectiveness, then you can condition him to more public places so that your dog can be used to more people and show a lesser amount of aggression due to his territorial protectiveness.
For as long as you start your modification programs with the right mindset that there is nothing uncommon about your dog behaviour problems, then you will have a much special relationship with your dog. Starting with this right mindset and attitude is the one thing you need to have in order to be a responsible dog owner.
Then again, to be more effective in training your dog, it is recommended that you know what kind or method to be used based on the reason behind the behaviour problems and this is where knowledge is significant. You should get a good Dog Training Manual that can help you determine the modification exercises to be carried out.
At the end of the day dog training should comes with a fruitful and meaningful relationship between your dog and yourself. The effort spent on training your dog will certainly be worth it. Do it right and do it well and you will reap the rewards.
