Does Your Dog Have Any Behavioral Issues?

Is your dog struggling with unwanted behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, or aggression? At JDP DOG, we specialize in behavioral modification through personalized training plans. Modifications include but are not limited to the following:

Attention-Seeking & Hyperactive Behaviors

These behaviors show a strong need for attention or a high level of energy. From begging for food to jumping on others, excessive barking, and barking at people or dogs during walks, these actions often signal a need for interaction. Additional behaviors include counter-surfing and nipping or biting as a way to engage with others.

Destructive Behaviors

Destructive actions, such as chewing on furniture, shoes, or paper, often result from boredom or stress. Digging holes in the yard and stealing items around the home are also common expressions of frustration or pent-up energy that lead to property damage.

Aggression & Fear-Based Behaviors

Behaviors rooted in aggression or fear can range widely, from general aggression to specific responses like reacting fearfully or aggressively toward guests in the home. Resource guarding, where a dog shows aggression over food or toys, and dog fighting are also included in this category.

Escaping & Ignoring Commands

These actions involve a disregard for boundaries or commands, such as charging out the door, not responding when called, or jumping fences. They often indicate a need for boundary training or reinforcement to ensure safe behavior.

Anxiety-Driven Behaviors

Anxiety can lead to behaviors such as separation anxiety, where a dog becomes distressed when left alone, or indoor accidents like peeing or pooping in the house. These actions reflect a need for support in managing anxiety and creating a comforting environment.

Predatory & Chase Instincts

Driven by natural instincts, behaviors in this category include chasing after lizards, cats, bikes, or cars. Nipping can also stem from a heightened chase or hunting instinct, as these behaviors reflect a dog's natural prey drive.

*Any aggression that goes left unaddressed can and will escalate, leading to more severe behaviors and potentially dangerous situations. Early intervention through training and behavior modification is essential to prevent these issues from intensifying and to ensure the safety of both the dog and those around them.
