Springer Spaniel Training Suggestions to Eradicate Behavior Problems

By Lisa Hart


If your canine friend has been behaving negatively for years, it'll be hard to eliminate the habits for good. When dog's have learned certain behaviors through the years, or from a former owner, It may take quite a while to improve said behavior. If canine behaviors are addressed through Springer Spaniel training when your four-legged companion is still young, then behavior modification goes easier and faster.

Puppy chewing is a normal and necessary behavior but it can be redirected. A puppy's chewing is one way that he explores the environment around him. Provide your puppy with clear leadership and lots of human interaction and stimulation. Additionally, provide him with fun chew toys. This will stop him from chewing on the things that he shouldn't be chewing on.

When you are working with a barking problem, contemplate creating a "safe space" for your pet dog to occupy when a guest visits. This helps anxious dogs by giving them a small territory of their own, and also keeps them calm during an otherwise exciting time. After introducing the spot and training your dog to go to it, strengthen this behavior with new guests around.

If you would like your dog to cease digging, play with him in the yard. Several dogs who dig do so out of boredom. Playing in the yard with your canine companion provides him the socialization and exercise he must have, and it's also an enjoyable way to bond with your favorite furry companion. Apart from that, you can also choose an area in the yard for your furry pet to dig. Hide toys in the area to motivate your four-legged companion to dig there.

Is your canine friend a leash puller? Pulling is quite typical and very easy to treat. Head to your local pet store and purchase a cheap harness. A harness can considerably minimize pulling, which will cause your walks to be more fun. Besides that, it's not recommended that you use a tight leash when walking your dog if you want him to be well-behaved. A tight leash can make your furry pet want to always pull. This is a response that you do not want your puppy to create. Be sure that the leash provides a comfortable level of play.

Successful Springer Spaniel training is not about punishing your canine pet to get him to do what you want. Dog training is all about positive reinforcement to help your canine pet learn how to work with humans. Making behavior training fun and exciting for your dog, goes much further than punishment does.
