Dogs bite slippers or any shoes of their owners. Many owners must have encountered them. Why do dogs always like to bite slippers when they have something to do and even sleep on their shoes?
Grinding needs
Grinding is an essential part of a dog’s growth. Especially young puppies who are in the process of changing their teeth.
Whether it’s your slippers or socks, they’re all teething products in their eyes. Why don’t you buy some delicious molar sticks to chew on?
Get close to the owner.
I didn’t expect that chewing on your slippers is also a way of loving you. The owner is away all day, and the dog misses the owner, so he wants to look for something that smells like the owner.
There are more than 500,000 sweat glands on the soles of human feet, and the smell of the owner is easy to leave on the shoes, so dogs love your “stinky shoes” very much.
Possessive
Dogs are very possessive Animal; it loves their owner, treats the owner as their own, and wants to have everything they have.
So the shoes that are stained with the taste of the owner must be enclosed in their own territory and watched closely.
In the dog’s world, there is no difference between fragrant and stinky. The dog only knows that this smell belongs to the owner, familiar and kind, which can make him feel at ease.
Dogs like to lick your feet, but also because of the sweat and smell on your feet, which makes them addicted.
However, in order to prevent the dog from developing the bad habit of tearing and biting shoes, you should stop the dog from biting the slippers in time!
Say NO loudly and take the slippers away. Put the slippers where the dog can’t see them, and prepare toys and molar sticks for the dog instead of slippers.
