Dogs are an indispensable part of many families nowadays. Dogs have become one of the important members of the family and are accepted by more and more families. But problems also arise. Many people have reported that newly adopted dogs, especially medium and large dogs, especially! Like! to destroy! the house! Often when they go out during the day, the house is still fine, but when they get home from get off work, they see that the house is in a mess as if it has been robbed. It's okay if they just mess up the house, but if they bite some furniture, shoes, or bags, it will make the owner feel painful for a while. The situation of "destroying the house" often occurs when the dog is a puppy. Today, I will teach you how to deal with the problem of puppies destroying the house.
Although puppies' house-destroying is not as "powerful" as adult dogs, it is also a headache for the owner-because the most common thing about puppies destroying the house is that they will bite and damage items. Puppies will feel itchy teeth during the teething period, so they will take the approach of "chewing here and there" to relieve it. The only way to deal with puppies grinding their teeth and damaging items is to prepare a chew stick for them. This not only helps to improve the problem of puppies destroying the house, but is also very beneficial to the dog's dental health.
If the puppies don't know how to use it, you can first order them to open their mouths, and then the owner holds the chew stick and gently rubs its teeth and gums, and observes the dog's expression. The rubbing strength should be appropriate to the puppies' comfortable expression.
2. In order to increase the puppies' favorability with the chew stick, you may wish to apply some liquid that dogs like on the chew stick or make a chew stick that can be eaten with steamed buns, which can smoothly divert the puppies' attention from furniture, clothing, etc. How about it? Isn't it very simple?
For many families with medium and large dogs and adult dogs, the most headache should be that when they leave their dogs alone at home, the dogs always do some amazing things, such as destroying the house! Samoyed, Husky and Alaska are the "dominants of the house-destroying industry". Families that can raise these three types of dogs can be considered to have strong psychological qualities. In most of the posts on the Internet that "tearfully accuse" dogs of house-destroying, we can see that most dogs seem to have a special liking for beds and sofas. Especially various sofas, which are simply "hot items". So, how can we, as owners, correct and eliminate this situation?
First of all, the owner should be able to strictly observe the dog's scratching behavior. Once there is a sign of scratching the sofa, immediately issue a "no" command in a stern and firm tone. Then, lead the dog to its doghouse, mark a scratching area for it, and gently hold its forelimbs to rub up and down on the wooden board. When the dog can obey the owner's command and can actively scratch the wooden board, the owner should give appropriate rewards. In fact, there are also many dogs that look at the owner before or during scratching the sofa. This is not a provocation to the owner. It may be to observe whether the owner acquiesces to his behavior. At this time, the owner should severely stop it at the first time.
If the dog has already scratched the sofa, you can guide it to the damaged sofa, point to the damaged part, and sternly say: "Don't do this", so that the dog will associate the reprimand with the damaged sofa, so as to deepen the impression.
If you can't get the dog to change the bad habit of scratching the sofa for a while, don't spray the sofa with floral water, wind oil, lemon juice, concentrated vinegar and other things that can emit odors that dogs hate very much. In this way, the dog will not "harm" the sofa again.
For friends who have just raised dogs, the most headaches should be "dogs destroying the house" and not sleeping in their own nests, insisting on sleeping in the same bed with the owner. If you scold the dog, some dogs will not eat it at all, but will think that the owner is playing with them, which is not very effective. If you hit the dog, it will be useless if the force is too small, and it will make the dog afraid of the owner if the force is too large. So, for owners who have no experience in raising pets before, what methods can be used to correct these two bad habits of dogs?
In fact, compared with adult dogs, the problem of puppies biting randomly is still easy to solve. The owner can use a chewing stick to correct the habit of biting objects randomly. When the puppy is used to the chewing stick, it will not "attack" other objects. But the owner must make his attitude clear to the dog, and never compare the chewing stick with the owner's own items. Of course, at the same time, the owner should help the dog to strictly distinguish between chewing glue and wire rubber, and severely punish the dog if it is found that the dog bites dangerous objects.
Although dog bed love seems to be a difficult problem to solve, in fact, the solution is also very easy.
First, prepare a comfortable doghouse for the dog, put a soft mattress in the nest, and put its favorite toys in it. When the owner turns off the lights when he is ready to rest, he can directly carry the dog into the nest. After repeated attempts, the dog will form the habit of actively entering the doghouse as soon as the lights are turned off. If the dog has developed the habit of going on the bed and jumps on the bed without being advised, the owner can immediately pat its buttocks with his hand or newspaper, and at the same time order the dog to get off the bed in an angry tone, making the dog feel angry.
