Destructive Dog Behavior

When we see destructive dog behavior on television or the movies we all tend to think that it is adorable. However in real life if you are living with a dog who loves to tear up things; then you know that it can become annoying.

It all begins when they are puppies and if it is not controlled; then chances are they will carry it on into their adult years. Puppies love to chew on all kinds of things that are sitting around the house. Have you ever come home from work and found your tennis shoes out in the back yard? It can be cute at first; however as it continues to happen and they start to tear up your property then you begin to try to find all kinds of ways to stop the destructive dog behavior.

One of the best things that you can do to stop these types of dog problems; is to replace the item that they love to chew with a chewy toy. You never want to give them an “old sneaker” to chew on.

Another thing that you want to do is pick up all your items off the ground so that they can not reach them and sink their little teeth into. If you happen to notice that they have gotten a hold of something that they are not supposed to be chewing on; then replace that item with the chewy toy or bone that you got them.

If they begin chewing on electrical wires then keep a water bottle nearby and spray them with Bitter Apple or even citronella.

Dogs and puppies tend to chew up things and pick up this destructive dog behavior because they are bored. Start walking them on a daily basis and make sure that you tire them out so that they are too tired to want to chew anything.

With persistent and daily training you can teach your dog that they are not allowed to chew your personal belongings. Believe it or not; after a couple of times of telling them “No” they will learn to stop this behavior. Click Here
