Unwanted behaviours such as barking all night, chewing furniture and shoes and unprovoked aggression may make you start to contemplate rehoming the dog, but a better solution would be investing in puppy school. A presumption that some pet owners make about dog training is that it is only necessary for guard dogs but this is not entirely true. [Read More]
