Dog Training Advice - What Or Who Do I Believe?

Recommended Answer:
Make sure the dog has plenty of exercise and attention.
When the dog barks for reasons you do not want him to bark, punish him.
Again punishment for biting.
Bang your feet on the ground to produce a sound and saying no is one good punishment. However you also need to give it rewards for good behaviour.

But dog training school will help a lot.

Crate Training Your Dogs - Ultimate Dog Training Method

• Well it really depends...barking could be inherent in the breed. Some dogs are just naturally more prone to barking than others. For example, if your dog is a pomeranian, it's pretty much useless to try tell it not to bark, it's a natural instinct for them. Other dog breeds like the golden retriever are not as prone to it. With the biting, it really depends in my experience on how old the dog is. If it is still just a puppy, there is still some time to get it out of this habit. When my puppy used to nip, i would quickly just wrap my hand gently but firmly (so as not to hurt her), around her muzzle, shutting her mouth and say firmly "no bite". She learned very quickly, and now just licks every one all the TIME. Haha. Socialisation is also very important at a young age because usually in most breeds, this can narrow the chance for aggression towards strangers when it is older. But if it is an older dog and actually has aggression issues, I would honestly suggest taking it to a trainer or asking some expert advice. There are many training books out there too that you can get from a library that could help with your situation.


• punish when they do this reward when they do not do this


• Obedience classes ?
