Dogs are social creatures that feed on attention. They like to have someone around all the time who can pamper them and play with them. This is why most dogs switch to barking mode when they don’t find anyone around.
If you really want your dog to adapt to the social frame that you live in, it is imperative that you impart him appropriate social behavior training. You need to teach your dog how he is expected to behave under various circumstances.
Eye contact may be the most powerful form of communication for human beings but your dog may not really think so. Many dogs find looking directly into the eye intimidating behavior.
Having a dog on the prowl all the time when guests are around or when you are doing some important work is not pleasing. Thus it becomes important that you teach your dog how to be well seated.
So you have a new canine at home? But he is not too friendly. There is nothing to worry. Like humans, dogs too take their own time to get affable with anyone.
It’s lovely to have a dog around. But the feel good factor translates into the feel bad factor in a moment’s time when your dog begins to bark excessively. But can you do anything about it?
