๐พ Dealing with Destructive Behaviors in Dogs ๐ก
Is your pup chewing, stealing, digging, or raiding the trash? Many destructive behaviors are normal and stem from boredom, lack of supervision, or anxiety. Hereโs how to manage them effectively:
โ
Prevent & Redirect:
๐น Keep your dog engaged with chew toys, food-stuffed puzzles, or interactive play.
๐น Provide daily exercise & mental stimulation to reduce boredom.
๐น If digging is an issue, consider a designated digging area for outdoor dogs.
๐น Use crates, pens, or safe spaces when unsupervised to prevent unwanted behavior.
๐ถ Some dogs act out due to anxiety, like separation distress or noise phobias. If you suspect this, setting up a camera while you're away can help identify the cause and guide treatment
