p.s something like the left one.....

First, and probably most common, is the jumping dog who greets this way. This can simply be from over-excitement - they "jump for joy." Dog behaviorists also point out that jumping behavior is partly instinctive. Dogs lick each others faces when they want to give a super nice greeting, a likely reflection of lower ranking members of a wolf pack licked the faces of the higher ranking wolves returning from the hunt. In addition, puppies in a den jump over one another for their mother's attention. More specifically, puppies target their mother's face, as a she typically regurgitates food for her litter, another reflection of the wolf pack.

Also, this behavior can be positively reinforced during greeting times, when a jumping dog is met by an excited owner who immediately praises, feeds, walks and/or plays with their pet after getting "jumped," so to speak. Jumping becomes part of this routine. It is rewarded and reinforced.

A second reason for jumping, which is less commonly the case, is that they may be trying to establish dominance. Dogs jump up on each other through what's known as "teeing off." In particular, they rest their head or paw (or both paws) on the shoulder of a dog they want to dominate and exert a bit of downward pressure. Because we walk on two legs, we're more difficult to tee off on, but the motivation is the same. The dog may be trying to express dominant status. In these cases, they often jump up once and more or less lean on you.

If you suspect that the jumping is in fact an expression of dominance, then it is likely that your training will need to involve heavier corrections. This just means you might need to do more than simply ignore the dog while jumping and train them to Sit and Settle before getting your attention. For instance, water squirting, sharp "growling," or even forcing the dog down and holding them down until they are still are all corrections that will short circuit this behavior.

Some dog owners don't mind when their dog jumps up to greet them - it is a most a dramatic and flattering hello to say the least. And the last thing we want to do is convince our pets that they have no reason to be excited to see us. We don't want to take the spring out of their step, so to speak.

But when the same dog jumps up on others, such as other family members or friends, it can be awkward and even dangerous. A dog jumping up on strangers is always a bad look. The good news is a well-trained dog can learn to jump up only when "invited" to do so by its owner. This is fine for playtime for instance. But let's learn the rules before we break them.

During greetings, always try to prevent your dog from jumping up in the first place. Put your hand (or both hands) out in front of you and hold still. A trained dog will be able to respond to this gesture reasonably quickly with repetitions. As with any training technique, do not introduce any verbal commands UNTIL the correct behavior has been demonstrated. Only when your dog gets down on his own accord should you start using the "down" command to accompany the behavior. This is how they learn the command, by having the right action to associate it with.

For most, this type of prevention does not work right away, especially for puppies that lack enough formal training. You'll have to know how to react when your dog starts jumping up. Mostly, this involves knowing what NOT to do. For example, when you have a problem jumper, don't be over-enthusiastic during your greetings. This obviously reinforces the behavior. And do not forcefully push the dog away from you. They interpret this as a form of playful engagement. The result: dogs always push back. It's instinctive. The same principle is the reason for the majority of cases where dogs pull on leashes: they are encouraged by the force exerted on them.

Turn your back and ignore the dog. And calmly ask him to sit. When he has calmed down, and ideally responded to the sit command, then you can turn and greet the dog. If he starts jumping again, repeat the process. Be patient, this is where you get to send a message mainly through your body language, and the dog will surely take several trials to receive it. Often it is recommended that you stick your knee up and put the dog off balance, which is almost a reflex reaction. Turning your back and stonewalling is better if you can manage.

One of the absolute best suggestions I give is to always greet a calm dog "at its level." Squat or kneel down, and open your palms open toward the dog. This is a non-threatening posture that dogs very quickly associate will impending praise. We all like when others try to meet us on our level. Dogs are no different in this respect. But make sure they earn it first!

Avoidance is your best bet when introducing new people into your house. If you have established your position as the dominant member of your pack, then your dog should never be allowed to position himself in front of you when the front door opens. It's time for you to become the Alpha Dog if that's the case, which also means more training for you. It is good practice to give a calm and firm "stay Down" warning in advance just before you open the door for a visitor or let them into the house. Your dog will be responding to your sense of composure and assertiveness, and start to truly believe that there is no real reason to freak out every time the door opens.

When you come home to find holes all over your lawn, and you have a dog, there may be a correlation there. But don't bother trying to confront your dog after the fact. Punishment after the fact is widely known as the least effective and potentially most damaging form of dog training on earth. Even if you bring your dog to the spot, hold them by the scruff of the neck, and scold them while you direct their head deep into their handiwork, they won't have any idea what all the fuss is about.

Instead, take a deep breath, and complete your after work wind-down routine. Then, calmly return to the back yard to locate your dog, with the intention of asking a few questions about their habit of excavating your property.

Question One

If you are unable to locate your dog, AND the holes in your lawn are all found right along the bottom of your fence line, then you may not need to ask the first question, which is, "Are you trying to escape?"

If your pet is not "fixed" (neutered or spayed), then they may be entertaining their roaming instinct. They will return, and they may even bring a whole family with them when they do.

Question Two

Another possibility is that your dog is digging to freedom in an attempt to find you.

If your dog is near or even somewhere on your property when you return from a period of absence, they may in fact have separation anxiety issues, which you'll have to treat directly. Once you do, the digging will be an afterthought.

Question Three

If your dog is there, your next question to ask is, "Are you getting too hot back here when I'm away?"

We all know that dogs pant when it's hot. But they also like to burrow, especially when there is not a spot of shade in sight. So you'll need to rule this out as motivating factor for your dog's digging, and make sure they have a place to stay cool.

Lastly, you'll have to ask your dog, "Are you burying your stuff?"

This is simply an old habit that stems from the fact that their ancestors often killed more than they could eat in a sitting. This habit may be tough to break, but try changing the range of treats you leave with your dog when away. For instance, a massive juicy bone may be a great treat for your dog when you're around, but might be something you don't leave with them when you're gone.

You may have to change the dog's access areas, or fence off an area that you'd like to keep for the kid's soccer pitch.

You can also try setting up a dirt area or sandbox where digging is allowed and encouraged. Many dogs are wild about sand, and you can even attract them to the area by burying treats in the sandbox. I've seen this work well.

In the grand scheme of dog obedience problems, however, this should be more of a nuisance than anything.

Often I remind dog owners that it's more than likely their grass will forgive the dog, and that having a healthy and happy pet sometimes comes with the sacrifice of a perfect lawn.

Does your dog keep on chewing the furnitures?

Here are some tips

One of the most important aspects of the dog training process is to stop your dog from chewing objects and household items. Chewing or gnawing is one of the instinctive behaviors of dogs which may cause inconveniences for an individual. As part of the development process and their exploratory nature, dogs may try chewing on furniture, shoes and any other items that come along their way. Sometimes, one may also find dog chewing their paws . However, there are certain techniques and preventive measures which assist in conquering the dog chewing problems .

And to stop your dog's chewing habits

Step-by-step to train your large dog or puppy to stop chewing forever.
The most common reason for the dogs' chewing behavior is teething. In order to subjugate the extreme pain caused by the teething process, dogs may chew anything. Moreover, lack of exercise and boredom are also considered to be the contributing factors for the destructive dog behavior . Additionally, there are psychological reasons such as separation anxiety or insecurity which inflict dogs exhibit the destructive chewing behavior. If not properly checked or regulated on time, dog chewing can become extremely destructive to the animal itself and the surroundings as it may obsessively chew its own limbs or paws or can also chew through doors and destroy furniture, etc.

It is a clear cut sign of boredom!She wants to play.The whining?Maybe she is begging her tail to play with her!

Don't Rub His Nose in It -
Though it may be tempting to rub your dog's nose in his accident or swat him with a rolled up newspaper. Punishing your dog is not really a desired form of dog training. The only thing this will do in the end is teach your dog a serious problem--to become afraid of you. Do you think your dog should come over as you call if he thinks you are simply going to whack him or stick his nose into the carpet?
Be Patient -
Patience is key when you work with your dog or puppy. If you feel like you're at the end of your leash before you've even started, don't attempt to train your dog. Your dog is incredibly smart and will pick up on your emotions.

Also,for effective dog obedience training to work, it is important that you look at lots of things and find out, not only what works for you and your dog but, what feels okay as well. You can always make any method to train your dog better.

The couple Ellen and Don trained their dog-Misty actually for in a day and a half and they made a book-
How I Trained My Dog
In One Evening..." then.the author-Ellen's husband Don didn't want her to publish thet book.
He said it would ruin his reputation.You see, Don thinks he's the world's greatest dog trainer.
But he is actually a retired plumber.

The couple thought Misty was really a lot of fun when we first got her. But all that came to an end when she started peeing on our bed.
And when she let her out to go potty at night, she'd just bolt off into the darkness. Then she had to stand in the cold yelling for her, embarrassed that our neighbors might be listening to her.
She thought Don complained about the barking more than anything - he said it was worse than a baby crying. If someone jogged past the house, Misty barked. When cars drove by, she barked. And for no reason at all, she'd bark even more.

When Ellen let her out to go potty at night, Misty just bolt off into the darkness. Then Ellen had to stand in the cold yelling for it, embarrassed that her neighbors might be listening to her.

But Then their Vet shared something with them,that changed Misty's behavior overnight...

You see, during their last visit Ellen told Don about all the problems Misty was causing and asked if he knew of anything we could do. Of all things, he recommended a book.
What's more, he promised it would turn Misty's behavior completely around in just a few days.

Honestly, I didn't believe him. After all, Don and Ellen already read several obedience books and they were good but they just didn't work for Misty.

But He Insisted Ellen Give This One A Try...

He told me to pick just one secret from this book and see what happened. Ellen figured that she had nothing to lose, so she tried one on page 16 (it was all about how to get your dog to come when it's called).
Ellen started using it at home that evening - and frankly, she wasn't too sure if it would work at first. But by early the next afternoon, she had Misty immediately running to her each time she called it. It was quite an amazing feeling.

Don got so excited that he turned straight to the chapter on how to stop your dog from barking. There, on page 31, he discovered the answer to Misty's problem.

Now to be honest, the tip Don used didn't exactly work overnight - it took about a day and a half. But still, they haven't had a single problem with Misty's barking since.
