How To Keep Your Dog Free From Boredom
Ever get home only to find your dog had destroyed some of your prized possessions, maybe chewed up a favorite item of clothing? If this has happened to you, no doubt you want to avoid it happening again. Separation anxiety could be one reason why this kind of behavior happens. However, it may be that the cause is simply that your dog is suffering from boredom.
Dogs need company and stimulation just as we humans do. Almost any dog will get bored if left alone for a long time. If you don't provide stimulation for your dog, he will find his own activities and these could involve chewing up your possession, digging up your garden, barking or whining constantly.
Dogs should never be left alone for longer than four hours at most. If because of your life circumstances or job, you can't avoid leaving your dog alone for long periods, here are some tips:
• One option is to hire someone to walk your dog. If you don't want or can't afford to hire a professional dog walker, you could ask a friend, relative or neighbour to do it. Walks allow your dog to keep his brain stimulated with all the interesting sights, smells and sounds. Dogs love walks and it's great exercise also!
• It can be lonely if you're a puppy on your own just as being an only child can be lonely. I would recommend getting a second dog. Then, you never have to leave your dog all alone.
• If your dog likes to dig, you could give him a specific place in your garden. It gives him something to do to relieve his boredom. You could make a sandpit where he can dig to his heart’s content without ruining your lawn. At the beginning it is important to reward him repeatedly with a treat left in the sandpit so that this has positive associations.
• Provide your puppy or dog with a few well-chosen chew toys and rotate them every day so that he doesn’t become bored with them. Dispensing toys that contain treats are particularly useful since they have a high fascination for a dog. Also, make sure that you keep anything you do not want chewed out of reachI.
• One way to keep up your dog's interest is to hide treats around the house. The treats should be placed to provide a bit of a challenge to your dog, but reasonably easy to access. In old socks, under an upside down bowl - these are examples of hiding places.
I hope you find these recommendations helpful in relieving boredom in your dog. When you do spend time with your dog, make sure you spend some quality time having fun, playing games and going for walks. It is essential that you puppy dog is given the correct training.
