Pet Owner Receives Tips From Fellow Dog Lovers After His Doggo Developed An Unwanted Habit

by May

Jumping on random people and chewing items at home. These are just some of the common unwanted behavior commonly seen in dogs.

Most of the time, you shout "No!" in an attempt to stop them. But it doesn't always work.

Additionally, when we threaten our dogs to stop them from engaging in unwanted behaviors, we risk destroying our bond with them. Last but not least, telling your dog "no" does not give them any instructions or indicate what they ought to do instead.

All dogs, whether they're young or old, can potentially develop behaviors we find objectionable. So how can dog owners curb these unwanted habits?

As always, training is important. By teaching your dog that wonderful things happen when he obeys you, strengthening your relationship, and stimulating his mind, positive reward-based training will make him tire out and lessen the chances of misbehaving.

Each week, try adding a new command while continuing to use the previous ones. Also, try channeling your dog's energy to other activities that aren't destructive to your home.

For example, try going for long walks outdoors or going out on a jog with your furry companion. If you're just chilling outdoors, toss balls they could chase in your backyard.

Remember that a dog's behavior is based on routines and habits. With patience, you can stop your dog's bad habits.

And if you're curious about how other dog owners approach this problem, take a look at this thread from Reddit.

The kitchen has so many items that could be potentially be dangerous to the dog. It needs to unlearn the habit fast!

Remember that quitting undesirable behaviors doesn't usually proceed in a linear path. Owners may need to review and make changes to a dog's training regimen to see which one works.

Unlearning might be challenging for some dogs. But whether the OP uses bubble wraps or aluminum foil, we do hope the doggo leaves the kitchen counter alone soon!
