WHEN YOUR DOG GETS ROUGH 3 OF 4

Filed under: Pet Articles — fworth @ 2:51 pm

If your dog has this behavior, it is imperative for you to always be aware on what your dog is up to or is doing. For the five seconds that you have taken your eyes off him, he may have already gone off to destroy an expensive pair of shoes or a valuable piece of clothing. If you have to do something, make sure that you are able to keep him confined in a small area with the company of his chew toys.

You must also address the behavior in your own way. For example if you see your dog destroying your favorite sweater, slam a book on a table and with a firm tone, say “Bad Dog”. This would distract him and so that you can remove the sweater from his paws and give him a bone or some other toy he can chew on. If he does chew on the toy you gave him, say “Good dog” or some other kind of praise. Always do this whenever you catch chewing on something that he is not supposed to chew on.
