Some common causes of dog behaviour problems

Dog breed charateristics - Certain breeds of dog have been bred for specific tasks over long periods of time. This can result in the dog being incompatible with living in a typical family enviroment.
Pet dog boredom - If you dog is bored they will look for something to do and this can result in destructive behaviour.
Excess energy - All dogs need some form of exercise and some more than others. If your dog is not getting enough this can affect their behaviour.
Improper dog training - The incorrect or unsuitable training can lead to an out of control dog.
Incorrect diet - Some dogs' behaviour problem may be caused by their diet if they are too high in protein or the wrong type of protein. In addition food allergies may also affect a dogs behaviour.
Lack of puppy socialisation - Puppies from 3-14 weeks of age need to be safely exposed to as many different and new experiences as possible. Dogs that have not been socialisation may grow to be fearful of people, things and places.
Owner behaviour - How we respond to our dog can and sometimes unknowingly encourage bad dog behaviour.
