Ages and stages of your dogs life and behavior

Dog training is a life long journey between us and them, both reflecting something about ourselves in the process. Remember, they choose us for a reason. Some behavior no matter what you do, takes time, there is not always magic wand, sometimes, your dog has to be at a certain maturity to grasp the training.Let’s reflect on some pivotal stages of growth in your furry friend.

0-4 months- they,copy, other animals behaviour and ours,mimic-and learning is fast and furious
5-7 months- potty training starts to form bladder strength, and good habits. Behavior starts to form, often in the form of resistance and independence, much like a 2 or 3 year old.
7-9 months- more independence as they are growing into their adult self’s. They can fight for leadership in the family unit, barking can start, many behaviors start ( often challenging). Always go back to basic training, reinforce training until that stage passes. Don’t give in to them. Set your rules.
9-12months- new behavior can form, or untreated behavior can get worse. Such as Aggression,leaping,jumping,barking, biting etc if their needs are not taken care of. Energy requirements and exercise are usually the culprit.
-
12-18months- for large breeds are hitting their max height and weight. Always, as your breed gets closer to full adulthood, and fitting into their “full breed and traits” reinforcement will be required. Know your breed well!

Major changes in the owners life like marriage, major moves, and stages of owner can elicit behaviour changes that need your attention.

DIGGING?

In order to stop digging, we must find out why our furry friends are digging. Let's examine some of the breeds that have a tendency towards digging first.

The dogs that come to mind are Great Pyrenese, Terriers, Dachshund, Beagels,Liberian huskies, Border Collies, Australian Sheppard, Alaskan malamutes, and Golden retriever need very high levels of excersize.

Most digging is an energy and boredom problem. Dogs with high energy will get bored faster.Assess how much exercise your dog needs to stop the behavior:
* A tired dog is a happy dog
*Increase excersize as larger dogs need at least an hour of exersize a day
*. Examine your breed. If you have a working dog, give them a job, get them hiking, and climbing hills. Beagels like to use their sense of smell to hide and seek, so let your dog smell something like a toy or treat and hide it.
* Fetch is always a good go to because it wears your dog down fast.
* Mental stimulation might include activities like agility where they are required to to problem solve and think.
*Fly ball is another good sport to reduce digging holes
*. Obedience might suggest creating boundaries where your dog does dig.

Interactive toys probably are not going to help as they will get bored with those too. A bone is often helpfull, chewing does give them something to do that they enjoy. The issue is exercise so the solution must be more excerize that stimulates their brain.
