clipped from www.reuters.com Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan's Tips for the 5 Most Common Canine Misbehaviors 5.) Aggression towards other dogs - Watch your temper! If you are tense, frustrated, or angry, your dog will mirror that energy right back at you, so it's especially important to remain calm when dealing with an aggressive dog. 4.) Overexcitement or hyperactivity Dogs require at least 30 minutes of a structured walk every day. Talk to your vet about how much exercise your dog can safely handle. 3.) Barking while the owner is away Instead of showering your dog with affection, practice no touch, no talk, and no eye contact for at least five minutes when entering or leaving your home. 2.) Barking at a specific stimulus If it's the doorbell that sets your dog off, ring it when no one is coming over, 1.) Problems on the walk - A canine pack leader leads, and so should you! Your dog should always be next to you or behind you, never out in front. Make sure you are the first one out the door and the first one to come back in.
