DOG PROBLEMS

Training a young dog is part of proper dog care. In the long run you will have a better relationship if you both go to some dog training classes early on. If you have a serious behaviour problem with your dog, it is important to get good advice from somebody who sees the dog in action.  Look for a properly qualified person (see How to choose a good dog trainer), rather than relying on the man next door or the breeder. There is not much on this page about dog problems because there are better people than me who have good websites. Google The Dogs Trust for a lot of very good info under help and advice.
