Dog or puppy behaviourist or trainer in Dubai

You by nature lead with human mentality and not pack mentality which can inadvertently give the 'Pack Leader' position to your dog. This is when problems can occur. Depending on your dog's personality (not breed) will decide whether he or she will literally take over the home or become nervous and insecure. It is not that you have done anything wrong, you simply are not a pack animal and innocently miss what your dog is looking for.

When a new puppy, rescue, older or adopted dog enters your home, you, your family, including your children and other animals such as cats and other dogs, become part of his or her pack. Your dog instantly looks for leadership and for his or her place in the home. This is when unwanted behaviour problems can develop due to the fact that you are human and he or she is a pack animal, both communicating in two different languages with different needs and expectations.

Dogs notice when the "Pack Leader" position is available, which in pack terms means someone HAS to lead, and will often assume this role. Your dog does not want fairness and equality like most humans, they want to know where they are in the pecking order and have a strong leader who is calm, confident and decisive with assertive body language. This is what makes him or her feel safe, calm and relaxed. When we do not meet these expectations unwanted behaviours can start.

Unwanted behaviours include:

Pulling on the lead
Annoying or incessant barking
Getting distressed at loud noises/sounds in the home
Aggression or nervousness
Refusing to come when called
Following you around in the home
Jumping Up at people
Chewing or destroying your home
Separation anxiety
Going mad when someone comes to your front door
or passes your home and/or garden.

A consultation with your preferred Veterinary Surgeon is advised before assessment to eliminate health related behavioural changes. Behaviour Referral form can be downloaded (below in .pdf) to be taken to your Vet for completion prior to assessment.
