Dog aggression is exhibited by growling, snarling, showing teeth, lunging and biting. It is important to know that any dog has the potential to become aggressive, regardless of breed or history. However, dogs with violent or abusive histories and those bred from dogs with aggressive tendencies are much more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior towards people or other dogs. Reasons for aggression are basically the same as the reasons a dog will bite or snap, but overall canine aggression is a much more serious problem. If your dog has aggressive tendencies, consult your vet first – it may stem from a health problem. Then, seek the help of an experienced dog trainer. Serious measures should be taken to keep others safe from aggressive dogs! In some cases, remote dog training collars can help to curb his aggression.

Dogs bite for reasons that can be traced back to instinct and pack mentality. Puppies bite and nip on other dogs and people as a means for exploring their environment and learning their place in the pack. Owners MUST teach their puppies that mouthing and biting are not acceptable. Beyond puppy behavior, the motivation to bite or snap typically comes from the following:

  • Fear or Defensiveness
  • Protection of Property
  • Pain or Sickness
  • Dominance Assertion
  • Predatory Instinct

Though some breeds are thought to be dangerous, I am not convinced that breed specific legislation is the answer. Owners and breeders are the ones who can help decrease the tendency for any type of dog to bite through proper training, socialization and breeding practices. If all else fails, try a remote dog training collar to correct your dog.

Common Dog Behavior Problems – #2: Chewing

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 @ 01:06 PM

Chewing is a natural action for all dogs – it’s just a part of the way they are wired. However, chewing can quickly become a behavior problem if your dog causes destruction. The most common reasons dogs to chew are as follows:

  • Puppy Teething
  • Boredom / Excess Energy
  • Anxiety
  • Curiosity (especially puppies)

Encourage your dog to chew on the right things by providing plenty of chew toys. Keep personal items away from your dog. When you are not home, keep your dog crated or confined to an area where less destruction can be caused. If you catch your dog chewing the wrong thing, quickly correct him with a sharp noise, or a remote dog training collar.  Then, replace the item with a chew toy. One of the most important things you can do: make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise!

SportDog Deluxe Beeper Locator Collar

Monday, May 10, 2010 @ 02:05 PM

As opposed to a dog training collar, this collar will help you know when your dog is pointing birds, even when you can’t see it. The SportDog DSL-400 beeper locator is the smallest and lightest beeper on the market. Choose from high or low volume, three beep-duration settings and four tones. The SportDog Deluxe Beeper Locator uses a 3-volt lithium battery (Included) that provides hundreds of hours of “on” time. We even give you a battery-check function so you won’t get caught with a dead battery. Our lightweight beeper fits most 1-inch-wide collar straps, so you can put it on or take it off as needed.

The SportDog Deluxe Beeper has the following options for continuous beeping you hear when a dog is on point. When the dog is running, you have the choice of (1) silent mode; (2) 5-second beep duration; or (3) 10-second beep duration. Setting Number 4 is the battery-check.

  • Standard Beep (S)
  • Hawk Scream (H)
  • Bobwhite Call (B)
  • Trill Tone (T)
  • Battery Check (4)
