If you have raised a puppy at least once, you know very well that the baby begins a very interesting period of teething. At this moment, the pet is ready to gnaw on anything to "scratch" its fangs. However, with babies, everything is more or less clear - it's just physiology, so why do some adult dogs retain this negative habit?
Cynologists named 3 common reasons:
A memory from childhood
A puppy cannot be left alone for a long time - the owner must take a direct part in the upbringing of his pet. As soon as you saw that the puppy starts to gnaw your things or furniture, then as an alternative, you should offer toys suitable for his age and needs.
If this is not done, then the adult dog will continue to bite everything out of habit.
Solitude
A dog needs constant contact with a person: without an owner, he feels very lonely. In this case, he begins to bite things due to a sense of hopelessness.
If the "main" person is away, then family members should spend more time with the pet to distract him from sad thoughts.
Nothing to do
A dog can't just stare at the ceiling all the time: it needs to entertain itself somehow. If you do not provide the animal with the appropriate level of leisure, do not walk much and refuse joint games, then the dog will try to attract the attention of a person in any way available to him.
It is worth understanding that in this case the dog will be happy even with your negative attention. Therefore, do not forget that a pet needs not only a roof over its head and food, but also joint leisure time.
