Hello, I have my new dog right now, and he has been demonstrating some bad behavior that I do not want him to do such as peeing all over the house, chewing on things, etc. I really need some help fixing bad dog behavior. I love the dog, but I really wish I could fix up his behavior. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Get him neutered.

Dog Whisperer. Watch the show, email the crew and look up training information on housebreaking and such.

Firstly, your new pup should be confined to a specific area that is easy to clean until he is house broken. You need to watch your dog very closely the first few weeks or months after he comes home for the first time. Is this dog a puppy or a grown up? Grown up dogs might take longer to train since they have had time to develop bad habits. However, if it’s a pup, it might learn faster. to potty train, Watch your dog closely and then take him out to a specific potty location as soon as it looks like he’s going to mess. Tell him "go potty" or words of your choice. He will associate these words with doing his business. When he messes where you want him to, praise him like crazy, give him a treat and have quick play session. He will learn to associate pottying in the right place as something fun and rewarding. If he messes where you don’t want him to, firmly tell him, "no" but do not yell at him. Then take him to his potty spot and tell him to "go potty." or use the phrase of your choice. If he goes, reward him. If he’s empty and doesn’t go, that’s okay too. he just needs to associate that spot with pottying. However, if you find a mess some point after your pup made it, don’t reprimand him. He won’t understand what you’re upset about. You need to catch IN THE ACT. Just clean up the mess and let it go. This is why he needs close monitoring.
For the chewing on things, puppies will do this because they are teething. Get him appropriate chew toys. Tiring him out with playing and walking will also lessen the unwanted chewing. Puppy proof your house! If this is a grown dog and he’s chewing, then he is probably doing this to relieve stress or anxiety. You need to exude an air of calm confidence. he will pick up on this and know that you are his leader and protector. he will learn to relax and let you take charge. They also sell bitter tasting spray you can spray on things so that dog won’t chew it. However, most dogs i’ve met actually like the taste. It’s risky business.
In any case, if you have a puppy, he will eventually grow out of the need to chew everything. If he is chewing something he shouldn’t be, firmly say no and make him drop it. Do not chase him around for it and do not tug it out of his mouth. He will think you are playing with him. Don’t scream at him, but let him know you are displeased. Redirect him to appropriate chew toys.
If puppy chews on you, you need to be especially firm. Give a firm "no" and ignore him for up to 5 minutes. He will learn. It will take a long time since biting and chewing as a puppy is natural and instinctual to him.
Good luck and enjoy your dog!

Give him/her a smack if there doing something bad. Don’t smack him or her to hard because you love the dog and it will be afraid of you. Don’t spoil the dog then there going to not listen to you and stuff. I would take away some of its favorite toy for one day.
