Dog Behaviour

Dog behaviour

Why dogs do what they do.

Behaviour pages explain the everyday things owners notice: barking, chewing, anxiety, body language, recall problems, reactivity, and attention-seeking habits.

Core behaviour topics

Body language

Tail position, posture, eye contact, licking, yawning, shaking off, freezing, and other signals that often arrive before obvious behaviour.

Barking and noise

Different kinds of barking need different responses: alarm, boredom, frustration, excitement, demand, and fear.

Anxiety and stress

How routine changes, separation, visitors, noise, and overstimulation can show up in daily behaviour.

Walk problems

Pulling, lunging, sniffing, stopping, chasing, and why a walk is not just exercise to a dog.

Home habits

Chewing, digging, jumping up, stealing, guarding, and attention-seeking habits explained without blame.

Training-adjacent help

We can explain behaviour and owner choices, while signposting complex training cases to qualified professionals.

Editorial line: this section should help owners understand their dog. It should not pretend to replace a qualified trainer or behaviourist for serious aggression, fear, or safety concerns.
