hi guys! are you having problems with your dogs chewingthings? if so, we're here with our top five tips tostop this destructive behaviour. first of all though it's really importantto remember that puppy chewing is a really important part of the teething process, soyou need to make sure that you have got lots of chew toys around for your puppy. adult dogs are likely to chew because theyare bored, or simply just for fun. and ripping things up like paper can sometimesbe a part of relieving their anxiety, so all of these things are really important to remember.
okay so tip number one is to make sure thatyour puppy and dog proofing your house. when puppies are puppies we remember to putour shoes away in cupboards and perhaps keep our pup in a crate when we're not there tosupervise. however people start to forget that you mightneed to do these kinds of behaviours for adult dogs as well. tip number two is to give your dog a chewtoy instead. by simply interrupting the behaviour if yourdog does start to chew on something inappropriate, you're going to be teaching him what he canand can't chew. this is called positive reinforcement andit's really important in any part of training
your dog. tip number three is using bad tasting repellantsand sprays. now you can pick these up from any good petstore, usually they will have a bitter apple or a lemon taste. these are tastes that dogs don't like. if the dog chews on something and he decidesthat the taste isn't good then it is likely that he will not chew on this thing again. so these are really good for things like furniture- things that you really can't afford your dog to start chewing.
now, tip number four is to simply give yourdog plenty of exercise. for many destructive behaviours includingchewing it can sometimes be down to a lack of exercise in your dog. he's simply bored, or looking for attention. exercise also produces endorphins which releasea calming effect on your dog, so it's really really important to make sure that your doghas plenty of exercise. tip number five is to make sure that it isnot separation anxiety. many of these destructive behaviours includingchewing things up or tearing things up, is actually a sign of a more serious problemsuch as separation anxiety.
