How do you fix bad dog behavior?

Answer by  sheperd (73)

Youll need a leash and a "pinch" collar. Put the collar him so that two fingers fit between the collar and the neck. For a week keep it on him even in the house, whenever he does something bad, tug the leash firm and quickly, he will stop, give comands, "no", "sit" etc. keep tugging until he obeys, then praise.

Reward correct behavior. Understand that you can inadvertently reward bad behavior; change your reward system accordingly. Put dogs in situations where they can do the right thing and get rewarded.

Try dominating the dog. When she does something wrong place the dog on it's side and hold her down until she sighs, hearing the sigh is the sign of submission.

Yelling is pointless. Enroll yourself and your dog in a training class so you can both learn. Indian Point Dog Training online is a great example of what you want.
