Dog at home alone
1. Sleeping
Dogs sleep most of the day, which is the longest time a dog spends, but the amount of sleep a dog needs every day is inherently strong, so it’s normal and harmless for a dog to sleep for a long time.
2. Picking the door
Many puppies feel lonely and lonely when they are kept alone at home, so they will keep picking the door with their front paws, hoping to make a noise to let them go. The pet owner released it. But if there is no response, the puppy will stop this behavior. But once it hears someone approaching the door or thinks the owner is back, it will continue to slam the door to attract attention. If you find this behavior in the puppy, you must not let the dog out as soon as you hear the puppy lying on the door, otherwise it will develop the bad habit of the dog digging the door.
In this regard, the pet owner can take the following measures: when the puppy is lying on the door, the pet owner can issue a stop password or severe criticism by slapping the door frame, so as to let the puppy understand This behavior is not advisable, and gradually change this behavior. Or you can keep the dog who is lying on the door in a small enclosure or cage in the room, let it know that the door will be punished, and then slowly change the behavior of the door. Note: When punishing a dog by keeping him in a pen, you should wait for the dog to stop making trouble before letting him out, lest the dog think you’re just playing with him again and get a sleight of hand.
3. Barking alone
When a dog is at home alone, it usually attracts the attention of others by barking. Many dogs that have just been brought home will do this. The behavior, even in some dogs, will continue for a long time. For this kind of performance of the dog, it is recommended to adopt an attitude of ignoring it to solve it. The dog may also exhibit this behavior when the owner is not at home, but if it keeps getting no response, after a while, the dog will stop on its own.
4. Bite and damage items
