Be Patient
This is not an overnight problem. It takes time and patience to change the behavior patterns of a difficult dog. Expect to commit a great deal of time to correct your dog’s errant behavior. Furthermore, impatience increases the risk of inconsistency in training and the likelihood that you may lose your temper or act inappropriately in handling your dog.
Seek Assistance
Sometimes a dog simply requires professional training assistance. If you have tried to manage the situation unsuccessfully and feel that you are at a dead end, you must consider using a professional dog trainer. Quality professionals have broad experience and may be able to isolate training methods that will be effective for your particular dog. You may plan to consult a professional trainer on a regular basis.
