As a dog owner, you may have to address many problems with your dog. Common problems include jumping on other people, digging, and also barking.
There is no best way to solve these issues except to prevent them before they even happen. In order to accomplish that, start training your dog when he is still a puppy. You want them to be obedient and exhibit the proper behavior with consistent reinforcement.
One very big training issue that can come up is dog chasing. Dog chasing can be quite dangerous to both the dog as well the people being chased. Fortunately, there are a couple of methods that can be used to stop dog chasing. Though, it is important to take note that if you want to successfully stop this problem, you need to be consistent regardless of what method you choose to use.
Prevention
One way to stop dogs from chasing cars is to never allow the dog to be outside without supervision and a leash. Dogs should never be allowed to run freely outside since they endanger themselves and others when they come near the road.
Perhaps you are living in a rural area and you think it will be alright to leave your dog outside since there won’t be so many cars around. Well, the answer is, even if you are living in a rural area, you should still train your dog to stay inside his territory. You will not want your dog to jump onto the road and meet with an accident. Another reason why you want to train your dog to stay inside the territory is because you don’t want your dog to start chasing other people who happen to come near its territory.
If the dog can be allowed to chase other animals or people, it can be very dangerous to the dog himself as well as the people or animals being chased. Also, this might lead to an aggressive dog, certainly not the type of behavior that any dog owners will want in their dogs.
Every time your dog is chasing you or trying to play with you, you do not want to give any positive reinforcement to your dog. Although chasing each other might be very fun but you are actually cultivating aggressive behavior in your dog as well as chasing behavior. No dog owners will want that to happen.
The method to stop dog from chasing is not to run away from a dog when he is trying to play in this way. You should be turning your back to your dog and not to give any attention to your dog when it is displaying this behavior. Once your dog decide to calm down, then you can start to pay him attention and praise him.
One other method you can use to reinforce a good behavior and stop a dog chasing is to tell the dog to sit if it starts to chase you. Only when the dog obeys and sits down will you start to give him your attention. Doing so will help to reinforce the positive behavior and avoid other negative behaviors.

Want to Stop Excessive Barking? Here’s How

Don’t you just hate excessive barking? If your dog works himself into a barking frenzy every time the phone rings, or somebody walks by on the street, or a car goes by, you have a dog behavior problem. How can you stop a barking dog?Why Dogs BarkBarking is a natural behavior for dogs. They bark to communicate with their pack members. But this natural behavior can get out of control very quickly and become nuisance barking before you know it. A dog left by himself all day will bark because he wants you to come home. And guess what, eventually you do. This teaches him that loud barking will eventually bring you back. The dog may bark at the mail carrier every day. This annoying habit makes sense when you realize that the dog is defending his territory from an intruder. Of course, the mail carrier doesn’t hang around, but in your dog’s mind, he’s chased him off. So the barking problems are reinforced. You may also be accidentally training your dog to bark. Do you respond to your dog every time he barks? He barks, and you let him out. He barks at the door, and you let him in. He barks, and you feed him. He barks, and you pet him. Before you know it, you’ve fallen into the trap of giving him attention every time he barks, instead of praising him when he doesn’t bark. Excessive Barking Can Be StoppedThe first step is to be sure your dog is getting plenty of exercise and attention. Most barking problems result when a dog is lonely, bored, and frustrated. Dogs are social animals, and they need lots of interaction with people and other dogs. Your dog may not realize that nuisance barking is just that–a nuisance. Sometimes he’s encouraged to bark if there’s a stranger around. Other times he’s told to stop. It’s up to you to teach your dog that it’s OK to bark until you say “stop barking. “ Then he’s to stop immediately. How to do this? By using a reward system. When you dog barks, say “stop barking” after he barks a couple of times. At the same time, dangle a favorite tasty treat in front of him. He can’t bark and sniff the treat at the same time, so he’ll be quiet. After he’s quiet for a few seconds, give him the treat. Repeat this, extending the length of time he’s to be quiet. In a single training session, you should be able to get him to be quiet for one to two minutes. If he even makes a little bark after you tell him “stop barking,” scold him immediately. Don’t wait, or he won’t know what you’re scolding him for. If he continues to bark, even quietly, pull out the big guns.
At the top of your lungs, yell “STOP BARKING!” More than likely, your dog will stare at you in shock. If this only makes your dog more excited, keep a water gun handy and squirt him in the face. You want to get his attention and get him to stop barking long enough that you can reward him for being quiet. If excessive barking is an ingrained habit, a good dog training course that includes a consultation with an experienced dog trainer may be just what you need to end barking problems. Take steps now to stop a barking dog.
