 Today’s domestic dog is still closely related to the wolf.  Like all wolves living in a pack, dogs must be part of a stable family and feel safe.  Most domestic behavioral problems occur when the dog is confused about how to act/behave in different situations such as in your home or out on a walk.

It is recommended that you keep your dog confined (in a crate or in a room) no matter his age for at least the first month in your home.  This will allow him to settle in more comfortably and adapt to your lifestyle.  At the same time, confinement or crate training will reduce such misbehaviors as chewing and separation anxiety.  When crate training, always use a dog treat, like greenies, as a reward when he/she enters his cage.  It will help make him feel more at home!
