Hey there, fellow pet lovers!
We know that our furry friends are capable of some pretty odd behaviors, but let's face it, they just make us love them even more! Most dogs will show the same type of behavior, some less and some much more, which is when most owners will find difficult in control it. But no worries, we'll discuss some of the most typical—and occasionally annoying—behaviors that our dogs engage in in this piece, along with solutions.
How deal with the most common dog's behaviours?
First lets talk about bitting. Although it may be adorable when they are pups, biting can develop into a risky behaviour as they get older. Dogs are natural bitters because since young their communication way is through the mouth, playing. As they grow this habit can decrease or grow according to how you treat them. Teach your dog bite inhibition using positive reinforcement and lots of chew toys to stop this tendency.
Next digging. Don't panic if your dog is making a huge hole in your yard; this is a regular tendency. Dogs dig for a variety of reasons, including hunting, escaping, and even for enjoyment. Give your dog lots of playing and exercise to stop this behaviour, and think about offering them a specialised digging place to satiate their drive to dig.

Now for the uncomfortable part: smelling other people's private areas. Although it can be uncomfortable, sniffing is how dogs learn about their surroundings. Socialize your dog with various individuals and teach them not to leap up to stop this behaviour.

One of the most annoying behaviours is undoubtedly peeing or pooping in the incorrect locations, but it is manageable. Your dog can learn where to relieve himself with the use of positive reinforcement, frequent bathroom breaks, and crate training.
With the right training and care, you can control tendencies like climbing things, eating poop, scratching their butthole on the floor, barking randomly, and chasing their tail.
When a dog do something bad, even though we get upset it’s not good to transfer this feeling for the dog. Punishment or treating them in a bad way only bring a negative impact, they tend to be afraid of doing some activity just so they don’t upset their tuttor.
So there you have it, folks!
As dog tuttor we must understand that dogs needs are completely different than human needs so, it’s fundamental that owners let their pets explore and fulfill their needs in order to build a good and healthy relationship.
Your furry pet will become a well-behaved part of your family with time, effort, and lots of love.
