How to train my hyper dog who jumps, bites, and escapes the yard?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | English Toy Spaniel | Female

I love animals but our female dog is annoying. Everytime i come home, she blocks my way, jumps on me and hurts me with her nails and bites me. She is always hyper but in a bad way. Everytime i open our garden's gate, she just gets out of the garden and goes to the street like crazy and starts chasing other street dogs. When i call her she doesnt listen. i dont know what to do with her shes rude and annoying. I have other pets they are lovely. What should i do? No one likes her.

It sounds as if you and Tita would benefit from an obedience class together. A basic obedience class would be a great way for you to start instilling some manners, help teach Tita what you like and don't like, and get the two of you bonding so you have a better time together. Looking up positive reinforcement techniques to stop behaviors such as jumping up, barking, and chasing other pets can also help.
