1. Reasons for dogs to demolish homes
Most of dogs demolish homes because of their anxiety lead to. Dogs are naturally dependent on familiar people and animals, and when a dog sees the person or animal it relies on leave, it can become anxious. If the dog’s anxiety is not relieved, it will exhibit destructive behavior, which may be the object of destruction in the home, or it may be in itself. This condition is commonly known as “Separation Anxiety Disorder”. Dogs with “separation anxiety” usually defecate, bark wildly, and destroy obstacles when they are at home alone, and this can also happen to professionally trained dogs. If the dog is demolished for this reason, the pet owner must not dislike the dog, and should help the dog to eliminate “separation anxiety”.
Second, how to avoid the dog from dismantling the house
1. Correct the dog in time Bad behaviors
Training dogs from a young age begins when they are young. Because puppies are relatively easy to train, because dogs at this stage have less self-consciousness and are easier to control; adult dogs have developed bad habits, and it is more difficult to correct their bad habits at this time. For example, 1. The pet owner needs to limit the dog’s range of activities and can keep the dog; 2. Correct the dog’s habit of chewing on furniture and other objects since childhood; 3. Give the dog some toys that are exclusive to it.
2. Give the dog enough sense of security before going out
The pet owner can help the dog learn to be independent and give the dog its own space, so that the dog’s sense of security will be greatly increased. Of course, the dog’s exclusive space is specially prepared by the pet owner, such as preparing a comfortable cot or kennel for it, providing the dog’s favorite toys, and setting up a dog toilet not far from the kennel. Let the dog have enough sense of security.
Also, give the dog a good supply of drinking water just before going out.
3. Relieve the dog’s anxiety
Correct the dog’s demolition behavior by beating and scolding It is not feasible, it should start from the reason why the dog dismantles the house, that is, to improve the anxiety of the dog. But dog anxiety is unlikely to be greatly improved all at once, and pet owners need to be patient. First of all, you can try to change the behavior of dogs chewing on furniture, prepare more chews, big bone sticks, and other items at home, and place them in various corners to divert the dog’s attention at one time and avoid furniture from being spared.
4. Try to let the dog be alone and learn to be independent
The pet owner can gradually let the dog get used to being alone by pretending to go out or try to isolate the dog, and gradually increase the number of dogs. During the alone time, if the dog has demolition behavior during this period, it can be properly stopped. But the dog is very quiet waiting for you to come back, so be sure to give the dog some rewards and let the dog slowly develop the habit of independence.
Warm reminder: Correcting the dog’s habit is not going to work right away.
