                                          Dog Training vs. Dog Behavior
When people have a behavior issue with a dog, for example things like the dog has started growling, snaps, bites, bolts out the door, does not come when called, is destructive, pulls on the leash, chases the cat and will not stop when told, barks obsessively, is yappy, obsesses over objects douse laps around your house chases their tail, chases cars, is aggressive with other dogs, gets possessive, is overly protective, jumps on humans and so on, a lot of people seek a dog trainer, take training classes or read books on how to train a dog. They often find that the training does not completely solve their dogs issues. SHOW SHOW.

It is common for an owner or a trainer to address each individual behavior one at a time instead of looking into the "why". Often times there are deeper rooted issues which are causing the dog to do the bad behavior, their instincts are not being met. When the owner starts to satisfy these missing instincts the behavior issues disappear on their own. For example one friend who was having issues with her dog found that the peeing on the floor and barking at her in the morning when she was trying to get her daughter ready for school completely stopped on its own when she started making the dog heel on the leash and began to show the dog leadership.

A lot of owners and even some trainers do not have the experience to understand exactly how to change a dogs behavior because they see the dog as a little, fuzzy human instead of a canine animal. They do not consider the dogs instincts and the effects a lack of these needs being satisfied has on the dogs over all behavior.
