This is the seventh primary rule to follow. The Chase
No matter what the breed, it is in a dog's nature to pursue moving objects. Cars, people and animals are some of the thing that a puppy may chase. This can be problematic for the dog owner and have a tragic outcome for the dog. While you may not be able to take the instinct out of the dog, there are thing you can do to keep your pet safer. The key is to address your pet's behavior before it gets out of hand. Before a puppy runs to a chase, he may stop and look at you first, if you have worked with him and taught him to stop this behavior.
8. Leaping and Jumping
When a puppy or dog sees one of their masters, they tend to leap up to say hello. They may carry this behavior over to people as well. A dog might also jump to establish dominance over another animal. Someone can get hurt, or annoyed at the least, over your dog that jumps. You may not succeed at first when training your dog not to jump, so keep trying. Some methods are better than others, as grabbing at a dog's paws or pushing them down may backfire and cause bad behavior. When you pay attention to your dog when he leaps up onto you, you are feeding into the behavior he is using to get your attention in the first place. The greatest tip that can be given to you is to pay no attention to your pet. Be careful not to speak, touch or make eye contact with the dog. Function as if the dog wasn't there. Reward your dog when he doesn't jump or when he is relaxed. Your dog will figure out the correct behavior very quickly.
9. Dogs that Bite
Due to their instincts and the way that they used to run in pacts, dogs may bite. Biting is one way that your puppy will use to establish his place in the pack and to explore the world around them. Unacceptable and possibly problem behavior such as mouthing and biting must be discouraged by the puppy's owner.
Many people believe that biting is dependent on the breed of dog you are dealing with but this isn't necessarily true. If your dog has been bred correctly and then trained in the right way, the tendency of an issue with biting with your dog will decrease. 10* Aggressive Behavior
A dog signaling aggression will snarl, show his teeth or growl. If he is feeling particularly threatened, he may also lunge and bite. History or type of dog does not indicate which animal has the likelihood of attacking, as any dog can exhibit this bad behavior. Dogs who have experienced abusive treatment, or who come from breeds that are historically aggressive may be more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior towards other dogs or people. It is no laughing matter if your dog is aggressive or showing signs of potential aggression. Health difficulties may be the cause of mean behavior in you puppy, so see your vet first before jumping to conclusions about aggressive activities. If the animal is healthy the next step might be to consult an experienced dog trainer. Mean dogs need to be kept away from other fine animals and people.
