Owning a dog can be one of the most fulfilling and wonderful things in the world. They offer companionship and love, they can help your kids learn more about responsibility, and it means that you never have to be lonely no matter what. However, that doesn't mean that owning a dog is always going to be easy. In fact, it can often be incredibly difficult. This is particularly true when it comes to dealing with their behavior. Training a dog is never particularly easy but when they love to move around and have fun and even get into trouble. Sometime the stress does lead to wanting to pull your hair out. They are animals and we are humans and together we can work very nicely... The first thing to do here is look at your options and find out what is the best option for you and your furry friend to make this companionship a lasting one. Sometimes our furry friends are tying to tell us something too! Here are some reasons why your furry friend might be a bit out of control.

They're not getting the exercise they need
One of the most common reasons why your dog might be acting up is that they simply have too much energy. If you come home from work and you find that your dog has knocked over every plant in the house and torn through all of your cushions, it's probably not because they're trying to be aggressive, they probably just really want to run around and play. Different breeds need different amounts of exercise and the answer to the question "what kind of dog do I have?" is often a lot more difficult than you might think, especially if it's a mutt. Figuring out your dog's breed can be a great way to better understand exactly how much exercise it needs to stop it from raising hell when you're not around.

They suffered past abuse
As unpleasant as it is to think about, a lot of dogs have suffered horribly at the hands of their previous owners. It's awful, it shouldn't happen, but sadly it does. And a lot of the time this kind of past trauma can manifest in strange or aggressive behavior from your dog. The key to this is to be as patient as possible. Getting frustrated or angry is just going to make the situation worse. Make sure that your dog always feels safe and loved, no matter what.

You've spoiled them
Then again, it could be the other way round. If you've spent your dog's entire life giving them anything they want and never disciplining them or setting boundaries, then there's a good chance that you're going to end up spoiling them. You need to make sure that you're setting clear and consistent rules for your dog. Otherwise, they're just going to end up doing whatever they want.

Of course, it's important to remember that if you're really struggling to get your dog under control, that doesn't mean that you've failed in any way. There are plenty of professional trainers and training courses out there who can help you take control of the situation and help you and your dog have a much healthier and happier relationship.
