Re: Behaviour problem

It does sound as though you have the rules in place. But I still believe that if a behaviour is not being controlled in the house, then it is because the dog is not listening. Unless you are not showing it how to behave.

I would advise that you stop the dog following you around.

With regards to the nervousness. He should get better, but I think a dog who is nervous will possibly always be so. Just make sure that you ignore him when he displays nervousness and don't give attention or affection. Otherwise the dog may do the behaviour because, in his mind he gets rewarded for it.

With regards to your dog lead biting, because it was not trained. He shouldn't have to be trained. If you say no, he should stop the behaviour. I take it he is not frightened of the lead? If so then in my opinion, he is getting over excited and not listening to you.

I really do believe that most behavioural problems stem from lack of leadership or miscommunication with your dog.
