#1 – Forgetting Your Dog is a Dog

Many people know dogs, and some even do some in-depth research before purchasing to learn as much as possible about their desired breed. But while each breed and each dog differs in temperament and personality, owners often forget the basic rule of dogs – they are dogs. All dogs bark, sniff, chew, dig, get dirty, shed, and smell. They don’t inherently know not to play in your flower bed, or that you want them to chew on a toy instead of a shoe. Owners will not only find themselves stressed out by these behaviors, they stress out their dogs by putting unfair punishments on them for behaviors that are ingrained in their very being. While all dogs can be trained not to do some of these things, it’s important to remember that this takes time and effort.
