103 8
Tips And Ideas Preventing boredom in dogs is part and parcel of dog positive power training or positive reinforcement training.
He is a very social animal and if you do not give him enough attention, you'll have a bored animal on your hands that is going to give you all kinds of problems.
I know we all mean well with our dogs, but, sometimes we are very busy and do not give him enough attention.
Most of us also have to work during the day and we have no other option as to leave him alone at home during the day.
Making sure there is variety is the best way to prevent him from misbehaving.
If he has a variety of toys to keep him busy it will distract him and prevent all kinds of undesirable behavior.
Getting a good book on dog training will help you knowing what he needs.
Signs of boredom: * Continuous Barking * Digging * Excessive chewing (If the chewing is not related to a teeth problem) * Destructive biting * Aggression (If other reasons have been ruled out) * Jumping up against the fence Fortunately there are many ways to provide variety to keep him occupied.
A visit to the local pet store will provide you with as many toys for him as you can possibly need.
It is also a good idea to provide other, safe, toys.
Puppies love play duck, play rats or basically any "baby" toy.
One thing you have to do though is to make very sure these are safe.
There must not be pieces that can come of and choke your dog! Getting yourself a very good dog training book will help you with safe choices.
There cannot be any hope of dog positive power training if your dog is bored.
Get help! Provide these toys in your dog's shelter or his crate.
This has the added value of making the shelter or crate a safe and happy place for your dog.
Do not use the crate as a "baby sitter" though, puppy or your dog must be free to climb in and our as he pleases and it should only be closed for traveling purposes.
With a good book on dog training you'll get advice on how to crate train puppy.
Another aspect that is very important is to make sure your dog gets enough exercise.
Make time to walk him every day.
Make these fun times and play with him.
If you have enough space, throw things for him to fetch and praise him when he brings it back.
Do not forget to hug your dog or scratch his back as physical contact is very important.
The amount of exercise your dog needs depends on the breed.
This is something you have to make sure of before you decide on the breed of dog you are going to get.
A good book on dog training will have this information as well.
I really strongly recommend that you get a good book on dog training to help you with all the info you need.
Remember that keeping your dog occupied is a part of training as well.
If your dog is properly trained and gets enough entertainment and attention you will have a loving pet and a well behaved dog.
