Dogs, especially young ones, explore the world, tasting everything: linoleum, furniture, wallpaper. If you do not wean the dog from this activity in a timely manner, it can develop into a "hobby". You may not get any results simply by punishing your pet. In your presence, the dog will behave decently, and when left alone, continue to spoil the interior. It is better to try to understand the motives of the animal, find out the reasons for its bad habit and gently but persistently engage in education.
It is necessary
- - toys, bones for dogs and other items that you do not mind spoiling;
- - a treat for reward.
Instructions
Step 1
Provide your pet with items that you can spoil with impunity. The fact is that the desire to nibble something is inherent in dogs on an instinctive level. The passion for wallpaper can be supplanted by toys or special bones sold at the pet store. Buy a variety of different items and let your dog know they are okay to chew on. If she turns her attention to the right items, praise her and reward her with a treat.
Step 2
Buy food supplements for your dog if he isn't interested so much in the wallpaper as in the lime underneath. Dogs, especially puppies, may chew on lime to supplement vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The purchase of vitamins should be agreed with the veterinarian, because if you make a mistake with the composition of the drug, this can lead to hypervitaminosis.
Step 3
Spread the wallpaper with mustard, hot pepper, or apply a special colorless mixture sold at the pet store. This method is good because the punishment will not come from you, but, as it were, from the thing itself.
Step 4
Communicate with the dog more: walk, run, play. After all, an animal can gnaw wallpaper, just trying to entertain itself, if not enough attention is paid to it.
Step 5
Show your dog to the veterinarian if he begins to chew on the wallpaper due to stress or neurosis. It is necessary to eliminate the cause of the disorder in order for the dog's behavior to return to normal.
Step 6
Go to punishments if the dog is healthy, has toys, but continues to chew on the wallpaper, despite your protests. Perhaps the dog is confident that he is in charge of the house and deliberately ignores all your efforts to demonstrate his dominance. Indeed, according to the laws of wolf packs, the leader has the right to do whatever he pleases. In this case, the dog must be persuaded. You need to punish severely, but not cruelly. And not only the waters are influenced by an outbreak of anger, but every time the dog begins its destructive activity.
