Your Dog is Destructive or Misbehaves At Home
Just like children, dogs are curious and need to learn what to do and not to do when left alone. Otherwise they will make their own rules as to what is acceptable, fun, and soothing. When that happens, they may get into things around the home. They may also develop nuisance behaviors like barking, chewing, digging, counter surfing, and more. These behaviors are at best inconvenient, as they may have much more devastating consequences. Without training, a gentle puppy can quickly become a risk to itself and others.
