When working with behaviour issues in dogs it is important to establish as to why your dog is exhibiting the behaviour. A dog does not exhibit behaviours to make you feel guilty , or to dominate you, or to be stubborn (plus a whole multitude of other human reasons). Dogs do not think like that they generally display behaviours (good and bad) for a reason.
For example, a common dog behaviour issue is barking. Most dogs vocalize in one way or another. They may bark, howl, whine and more. Excessive barking is considered a behaviour problem.
Before you can correct excessive barking, it is important determine why your dog is vocalizing in the first place. The most common types of barking are:
Once you have determined the reason you can then start working on the problem.
This is the approach that I take with all the behaviour issues that I come across - first task , establish why the dog is exhibiting the behaviour.
