When you adopt a pet, dog behavior becomes an amazingly big concern in any
San Antonio or New Braunfels household. The dog becomes a member of the
family, and what they do or don’t do, can impact everyone in the home. There
are several common misbehaviors that your new dog might display, and
identifying them is important to understanding how to fix them. See if you can
identify the dog behavior problem that your pet most demonstrates.

Hyperactivity Dog Behavior Problem
There are some dogs that just won’t settle down. Whether it’s jumping on you,
running around the house, or even chewing on furniture, their energy never
seems to subside. When your dog is acting restless and overly energetic, then the
problem is usually that they are bored and unstimulated. To fix this, the simple
solution is to take your pup for a long walk. Or, if you already walk your dog
regularly, add in some extra exercise, like fetch, where they can stretch their legs
a bit. Inside the home, you can play with your pooch with toys.

Being Rough
Dogs need to socialize, and often that takes the form of playing with other dogs.
However, there are certain dogs that can get overly aggressive. This dog behavior
problem can sometimes injure the other pooch, so you certainly do not want to
encourage it, especially if your dog is in public a lot, or visits a dog kennel. Most
dogs who play rough with other dogs will also play rough with you. To stop this,
make sure that every time your dog is being overly rough with you, stop the
playing right away and stand up. If you freeze and stop playing every time, your
dog will soon realize what they are doing to stop the fun and will learn to avoid
that behavior.

Uncontrolled Elimination
The ideal spot for your pup to use the bathroom is outside at a location that is
most convenient for you. If your dog is urinating or defecating in your home or in
a dog kennel, it can be a disgusting habit, and also cause health hazards in some
cases. If your dog tends to eliminate inside, then you must stop their behavior as
soon as possible. Your dog simply does not understand the rules about going to
the bathroom inside. You must go back to potty training your dog using the
techniques you would use for a puppy. However, make sure that you are careful.
In some cases, the dog might have a medical condition that makes it hard for
them to hold their bladder. If you suspect this, then contact your veterinarian
right away for a checkup.

Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety is a sad behavior issue because it just shows that your pup feels the safest
when you are around. When you are gone to work or have dropped them at a dog kennel, your
dog might feel anxious, and they show it by chewing on things, including furniture, eliminating
inappropriately, or maybe just barking all day and annoying your neighbor. Show your pet that
you always return. Leave for 10 minutes, and then come back. This will calm them over time as
they get more and more used to you leaving. Eventually, they will understand that just because
you’ve left does not mean that you have abandoned them.
There is almost no dog behavior problem that is impossible to fix with a little patience and
effort on your part. Identify the issue and take the necessary steps to curtail the behavior as
quickly as possible.
