Dogs chewing problem is due to various
reasons. Of course it is fine if your dog
has been chewing on his own toys. But how
can you tolerate if your dog tends to chew
on the wrong items such as your personal
belongings, furniture, shoes and etc? Knowing
and understanding the reasons behind the
destructive dog chewing helps you determine
the appropriate correction on your dog’s
chewing problem. It’s not their fault
as it is only their natural behavior to
chew. Provide your dog with some guidance
on his chewing, and it’ll be fine
for both of you.
The Reason
For Your Dog’s Chewing Problem
Teething Puppies
Generally, teething puppies, aged between
4 and 6 months need to chew more than older
dogs. During this stage, the habit of chewing
must be handled carefully so that it will
not be carried into adulthood.
Boredom, Lack of Exercise and Socializing
Older dogs chew to release tension as a
result of boredom, anxiousness or frustration
when being left alone or have been isolated
for too long.
Separation Anxiety
Dogs that suffer from separation anxiety
often feel stress when they are being left
alone for long periods of time. When you’re
leaving home, try to avoid making a great
fuss on your departure. A brief departure
such as “Goodbye!” helps create
less anxiety on your dog while you’re
away.
Your Dog is Seeking For Attention
Dogs chew to seek attention from their owners.
