Train Your Dog to Play With His Toys In a Nice Way And Not Destroy Them

A dog that destroys his toys.

Do you have a toy destroyer dog? Are you spending a lot of money buying expensive dog toys and you see how he converts them to small pieces in just minutes?

Well let me tell you that you might think this is a highly expensive dog hobby to afford, not to mention that it will harm you dog because he may consume the small destroyed pieces of plastic, wood or whatever the material of the toy is.

It also makes your dog has less toys to play, thus he'll start chewing bigger things like your home furniture. In this article I'll try to help you solve that problem, so that your dog can still enjoy his toys in a safer way.

The strategy to avoid this aggressive behaviour.

The strategy I'm about to explain you is excellent for that type of dog called "happy go lucky", these type of dogs enjoy destroying things all the time. In case you have another type of dog: stressed and sensitive and toys protectors, this technique won't work.

So the first thing to understand is about the appropriate toys you should get for your strong chewing dog. Buying the proper toys for these kind of animals, will be more secure for him and less expensive for your pocket. The key here is to get bigger toys of what you use to buy him.

Teach him the right way to play with his toys.

So you get nice toys for your dog, now is the time to teach him how to have fun with them without destroying them. Sometimes the most strongest toys in the market are no challenge for strong chewing dogs. So to begin with ask him to do a trick he knows or just to sit. In the event he complies, just give him the toy and stay there with him.

If he plays normally with the toy give him a treat as prize. When I say playing normally I mean mouthing the toy or moving the toy nicely. But if he starts to destroy the toy, just say eh! or hey! to make him stop. When he starts playing nicely with the toy again, reward him again and stay there with him until he stops playing with the toy.

After that hide the toy so he can't find it, and start the routine the next training session. Do this in front of the TV, to get better results.

What is he doesn't pay attention to you when playing with the toy.

In case he doesn't stop the destroying behavior when you say eh! or hey! you can try clapping your hands to change his focus to you. The most important thing here is not to punish your dog, but to stop him the aggressive behavior.

Don't do this in case your dog looks very tense when chewing, this means that your pet has very string issues of safeguarding. In the event the clapping doesn't work, spray him quickly with a spray bottle containing water.

What to do when the toy is new.

Don't leave your dog alone when you get him a new toy. You need to be sure that he has understand that a new toy is not something he just can destroy. You may experience that he might learn the lesson for old toys, but not for new ones, so apply the technique for new toys as well until you notice he plays nicely with the new ones as well.

After you notice the progress start leaving him alone with the strongest toys for short periods of time. What will happen is that you'll keep him busy and prevent him of getting anxious. After some time, you'll notice your dog will start playing nicely with these strong toys, thus you can start giving him other types of toys he might enjoy to play with.

Remember to apply the technique every time you bring him a new one regardless if it's a strong one or a normal one.

How To Cultivate A Better Relationship With Your Dog

Your dog is your best friend. However we cannot be around them all the time. We have obligations such as a job. This may mean that your dog will be left alone in your apartment or house. Your dog will have to deal with this, but he or she will not like this. They will find different ways to deal with this lack of attention.

Lets face it your dog is going to miss you. They actually love you more than you can understand. They will have deal with separation anxiety. Because of this separation anxiety they might destroy stuff or howl when you are gone.

However this type of behavior is not acceptable. As the more intelligent creature you will need to train your best friend to deal with your separation with them. This will require some research and patience.

First it is important to understand what causes separation anxiety. They just want you to come home. Being left alone for the first time can be very stressful for them if they are used to human contact every minute of the day. This will be especially evident if your fury friend is from a kennel or shelter.

Being locked up is very stressful for any animal. When a dog is freed from such a horrible environment he will feel freedom never experienced before. He will see you as the reason for his freedom. This will create an instant bond with you, and losing contact with you will cause him to feel anxiety.

Dealing with your dogs separation anxiety might just involve doing some simple things. Consider leaving some of your older clothing in an area she or he can get to. Dogs have a great sense of smell and this might help them think of you and reduce their separation anxiety.

If you are planing a vacation where you cannot take your dog, consider asking a friend to look after your fury friend. This friend must know your dog and be willing to take proper care of him. This will help your dog to deal with the problem of separation from you. If your dog is already comfortable with this person this will make the transition time of being without you less problematic.

One thing to remember is punishment will not help your dogs anxiety separation. This can make the situation worse. You need to help your dog understand that you will be back. Leave your dog in a situation they are comfortable with.

Simple Things You Can Do To Improve Your Dogs Behavior

There are approximately 87.9 million pet dogs in the USA, according to some estimates. Many of these dog owners would like to improve their fury friends behavior.

There are some simple things you can do to improve your their behavior. Lets consider some common dog behavior problems many owners are confronted with and how to solve them.

One of the most common problems is excessive barking. To solve this problem it is important to understand why dogs bark.

There are a number of reasons: to initiate play, warn of danger, threaten intruders, discipline their your or because they are curious about something. All of these are normal reactions and to be expected. To train him to stop barking for the wrong reasons, you could praise him when stops barking and give him a treat. Keep repeating this process until he only barks when you tell him to "speak". Your dog will soon catch on that being quite gives him a treat.

Another problem is begging at the dinner table. To stop this behavior you have to discourage him from doing this. One way to do this is to put some of your food into his dog bowl. This will keep him away from the dinner table and help your dog to understand he should only be eating from his bowl.

Only give him scrapes that are healthy for him. Your fury friend must be conditioned to eat from his bowl and understand that this is the best place to find food.

Many dogs pull on their owners lease when going for a walk. It is important to take your dog for a walk at least once a day, but their constant pulling on the lease can be very annoying. They often pull in a certain direction because they see something that makes them curious, like another dog.

To help solve this problem be aware of other dogs and shorten up his lease when he becomes aware of other dogs. Some owners will always keep their dog on a short lease. I don't agree with this. Take your dog for a walk using a retractable lease. It is import to stop and let him smell things that interest him. It is very important that he knows he can do this, after all it is time out of the house.

Improving your dogs behavior takes patients. However it is worth it. But remember much of their behavior is normal and should not be discouraged. It is important that we understand why they are behaving in a certain way, after all we're suppose to be the more intelligent one.

A dog is normally a very submissive create. They seek attention and will indicate this with the position and motion of their tail. Tucking their tail between their legs is one such position.

Anticipation of Being Greeted By You

Simple wagging of your dog's tail side to side could indicate anticipation of being greeted by you or a close friend. The fasted they wag their tail the more excited they are to see you. They might also bark at you to get your attention. They might be thinking they are not going to approach them and show the needed affection they desire.

Potential Aggression 

Wagging of the tail in a certain position could also indicate potential aggression. This aggression could be the product of fear or the need to protect you from potential danger. If the tail is held high and moving very quickly in a vibrating motion it could mean your dog is getting ready to fight. This could be brought on by another dog in the vicinity. This type of motion indicates an active treat.

Your dog is an intelligent creature and you can learn how to communicate with him or her if you learn what they are trying to say with their body language. This will take some patience and will also involve doing some research.
