When it comes to your dog, there’s a possibility of unpredictable behavior that can put a strain on your home and your family’s relationship with your pet. Fortunately, you can get help to change these behaviors with a dog behavioral specialist at Russell’s K9 Academy. If you’re unsure why you might need help from a specialist, we’ve put together six benefits of getting the help that you need.
Unique advice
Getting advice from an outside source can be incredibly beneficial when evaluating your dog’s behavior. You see your dog every day and there’s a chance you could feel like you’ve exhausted every technique and are completely out of ideas. Unique advice from a trainer provides an outside perspective on your dog and its behavior.
Expert insight
Dog trainers see many different breeds of dogs over the course of each day. A variety of experiences with dogs from diverse backgrounds give a broad insight into what can help them overcome their behavioral issues. Your trainer will be able to provide you with insight from what they’ve seen work, and not work, with dogs that are of the same breed as yours or have the same behavioral issues.
Reduce aggression
An aggressive dog can be difficult to manage when you have friends visit or even on a day-to-day basis. Aggression can be caused by a number of factors that include:
With the help of a dog behavioral specialist, you can learn what’s causing your dog’s aggression and find ways to reduce or even eliminate this behavior.
Easier to socialize
Dogs are pack animals, which means that they’re social by nature. Socialization is an important part of managing your dog’s behavior. As your dog interacts with other dogs, it will lead to a happier and healthier pup as it gets exercise and learns to adapt to new situations. With the help of a dog trainer, your dog will get ample opportunities to interact and mingle with other dogs.
Quell destructive behavior
A destructive dog can be a major problem in your home. From damage that costs thousands of dollars to repair to replacing couch cushions over and over again. Similar to aggressive behavior, destructive behavior can stem from multiple aspects of your dog’s life. Sometimes a stressful situation or separation anxiety can lead your dog to chew couch pillows or shoes. A dog behavioral trainer can help to identify the cause of these issues so that you’re able to get the necessary help for your dog.
Better behavior
When you take your dog to a behavioral specialist, you can be confident that you’ll see an overall improvement with better behavior. From your dog’s ability to listen to and follow commands to its demeanor and ability to interact with your family and others. You’re sure to see an improvement over time that those who come to your home take notice of.
