Name(s): Huckabee (Tan) and Rainier (Black)

PET PARENT’S PEEVES: Over excited behavior, counter surfing, invades space, no recall, lack of control.

WHAT WAS PRESCRIBED: Unwanted behaviors, aggression, possessiveness, unruliness, are all by-products of a problem. The problem in most cases is a lack of effective discipline, lack of consistent rules, no clear boundaries, and confusing the dog by trying to apply human corrections. One example of confusing your dog is trying to reason or discuss the behavior with your dog. Obviously, they do not understand the words you speak. However, they can smell how you are feeling at any given moment. When they smell fear, frustration, anger, dogs will reject anything you do since these emotions signal danger to a predatory pack animal.
In addition, pet parents will usually reach down and give calm affection in an attempt to calm the dog down. Unfortunately, this touch is interpreted as being given affection for being in an excited state. The result is continued excitement since in the dog’s mind, it is being rewarded for being in an excited state.
The preferred environment of predatory pack animals is calm. Dogs will typically not want the alpha position in a pack since it is a position of direction and can be stressful to the dog. However, if an alpha is not present, they will assume the alpha position and start to create their own boundaries and limitations. This means counters with food are NOT off limits!

There is always hope to rehabilitate any dog. It truly depends on the owner’s commitment to change their habits. Any behavior is okay ON YOUR TERMS.
