Chewing and Negative Conduct
Oh no, did Fido ruin your most beloved pair of shoes? It is not enjoyable to find destroyed belongings! But don't hold it against your dog; chewing is a natural behavior for dogs. They travel the world, heal boredom or loneliness, and reduce anxiety. Usually, destructive chewing is an indication that your dog needs more mental and social stimulation. To burn off extra energy, try increasing the amount of training and exercise. Also, provide them with an abundance of suitable chew toys. These will satisfy their gnawing cravings without destroying your slippers or couch cushions.

Should you discover them chewing on your belongings, a firm "no!can act as a prompt to quit, but don't forget to refocus their attention on a suitable chew item. That's still only a Band-Aid solution for a bigger problem. In order to provide your dog with much-needed exercise and socializing, consider daycare or hiring a dog walker if you are unable to be at home frequently. Dogs are considered man's closest friend since they are social animals that are abused and neglected. Although independence may sound desirable, dogs that are left alone at home for more than eight hours suffer from long workdays. Therefore, if you want a happier, more well-adjusted pet and want to keep your possessions safe, do your best to provide daily attention, exercise, and stimulation.
Abrupt Alterations in Behavior
Whoa, when did Cujo become an adorable little Fido? Dogs' abrupt changes in behavior, such as hostility or withdrawal, can be perplexing and upsetting. But instead of getting angry, have your dog examined! Severe alterations in behavior or temperament frequently point to an underlying medical condition that needs to be attended to by a veterinarian.
If Fido used to be nice, but now he's growling at everyone, there might be a major problem. Additionally, drowsy puppies that sleep through the day could be sick or hurt. Your dog cannot verbally explain the behavioral changes, so don't just reprimand or ignore them! Assist experts in determining the underlying reason.
