Aggression in Dogs
Dog aggression is a common dog behavior problem which pet parents are facing today. Why is this? Well, this is because dogs may be aggressive for a large number of reasons including the protection of territory, protection of their loved ones or even protection of their water dish. Dogs may also be defensive if they become fearful of something ( dogs also can fear children ) or if they are unhappy with a situation.
Dog Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety is also a common problem occurring in our canine companions. If your dog has separation anxiety, you may come home to a house that has been completely torn apart. You may also come home to a house that has feces throughout, walls eaten and/or a crying dog. A dog may experience separation anxiety if there is a change in routine or in environment. This could be something as simple as moving your bedroom from one room to the next room. How to make your home pet proof ?

This is often beyond frustrating for the pet parent. House training takes a significant amount of time, dedication and patience. The most effective tip is to keep your dog on a schedule.
