  1. Dogs are not deliberately naughty <\/strong>\u2013 A dog will misbehave or disobey if he doesn\u2019t understand what you want, he is suffering from stress or fear or he doesn\u2019t consider you his leader.<\/li>\n
  2. A dog is simply, a dog <\/strong>\u2013 They do not communicate like humans do. To effectively train your dog, put yourself in his shoes and understand his instinctual pack behavior.<\/li>\n
  3. Aggression happens in any breed <\/strong>\u2013 No matter how small or big or how bad of a reputation that breed has, aggression is caused by fear of the unknown. When a dog becomes frightened he will either fight or take flight. Reinforce leadership with your dog so you can avoid any unacceptable or uncontrollable aggression.<\/li>\n
  4. Teach your dog tricks<\/strong> \u2013 Old dogs really can learn new tricks. They are continuous learners and have exceptional memories. Show your dog what you consider good and bad to behavior to help change his behavior for the better.<\/li>\n

Your leadership will help your dog feel safe and eliminate any behavior problems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
