Dog Behaviour Problems - Seeking Professional Help to Remedy the Situation

By Dean Forster

Dog behaviour problems range from basic annoying traits to full on problems that an owner simply can't cope with any longer. Even a minor annoyance can slowly build up and turn into a real problem. When this happens, the owner has no choice but to seek professional help.

Before focusing on the major character traits, let's begin by looking at some of those minor behaviour problems that can still be a major annoyance. The dog who barks at all hours of the day, howls at the moon or scratches constantly all have a minor problem. Also falling into this category are the dogs that bite or chew at their skin, jump up on visitors and even bark at one particular person.

Then there are the dog behaviour problems that are more extreme in nature for example biting or snapping. At times a dog may bite at other animals, everyone in the family or one person in the family. Snapping is also a big problem, not because they actually bite someone but because it can lead to that type of behaviour. When a dog snaps at a person though, it can still cause damage to that individual. It can break the skin if the dog gets too close or traumatizes them to the point where they no longer want to be around the person. All of these are types of serious or extreme behaviour problems.

Dog problems can also include behavior traits that make them act out around the house or around other animals. The dog might snap at other animals or anyone that gets close to their food and water bowls. They may bite another animal for touching its favorite toy or take toys from other dogs. In addition the dog might hide food around the house, play in the potted plants or use the bathroom all over the house and furniture. There are also cases where the animal begins tearing up furniture, clothing and anything else left laying around the house.

When an owner realizes they're dealing with dog behaviour problems such as these, they need to get help from a professional. Some problems can be treated with at home remedies, but some require outside help. Dogs that begin snapping for no reason are an example of a problem that should be examined. It can be a sign of something medically wrong with the dog or an indication of more serious behaviour about to come.
