Quite often, owners of dachshunds complain about their pets. Left at home alone, the puppy chews on shoes, furniture, tears off wallpaper, etc. In a word, it "comes off" as soon as it can. The punishment does not work, hooliganism continues. Most often, the owners themselves are to blame for the bad behavior of their pet.
Instructions
Step 1
Most often, the "dirty tricks" dachshund creates when the owner is not at home. Appearing a few hours later, he punishes the dog. The puppy, however, is unable to relate the two events. The "crime" was committed a long time ago, and the punishment followed after the arrival of the owner. And was there a crime? Dogs are gregarious animals. Left alone, the baby is stressed. You have to wait, which is pretty hard. Perhaps he has nothing to do. So he tries to compensate for fear and boredom in an accessible and pleasant way for him. Punishment is associated only with the desire of the owner to strengthen his dominant position. And the puppy by his behavior expresses obedience, and the owner (the leader of the pack!) Mistakenly believes that the baby understood what he was punished for. Is it any wonder that the dog continues to "dirty". Punishment is the most useless action taken by the owner in this case.
Step 2
It is best to have someone watch over the dog during the day. If this is not possible, remove all valuable and dangerous in a place inaccessible to the pet in advance. Hide the wires, cover the wallpaper with sheets of foners, remove your shoes, etc.
Step 3
Purchase special toys that you can chew and gnaw on. Praise and reward your dog when he does it. When leaving home, leave your pet's favorite toys on the floor. It is easier for a dog to wait for its owner if it is busy with something.
Step 4
Establish a clear daily routine and stick to it. The puppy will get used to it and it will be much easier to endure loneliness. He will feel that, for example, a workout or evening walk will follow in a couple of hours, and will wait.
Step 5
For normal mental health and development, a puppy needs adequate walking, work and communication. Dachshund is a very active dog. Your baby may be lacking in physical activity. Make the walks longer, keep the dog busy with commands. Try to make her experience new experiences more often.
Step 6
If you cannot cope with the problem, consider purchasing a special dog enclosure. Feed your dachshund well before leaving home. Place her in an aviary. Be sure to leave toys. Place a bowl of water near the enclosure so that the puppy can reach it. This measure will protect your home from the destructive effects of canine teeth, and your pet from possible injury.
