Dog problems: is your dog bored?

If you’re experiencing problem behavior in your dog: barking, chewing or digging for example, chances are that he’s bored.

To some extent, toys will help.

These may be kept inside the crate and in particular, puppies love these items. A buster cube with multiple treats may be placed in the dog’s shelter and the animal soon understands on how to roll the buster cube to get the treats it prefers. A Buster Cube is an ingenious toy use for simulating and activating your dog during play and feed time. Instead of placing the food monotonously in one place, change the place of feeding suddenly.

However, the best way to relieve boredom is to do some dog training. Not only will he enjoy his interaction with you, he’ll also get exercise, and will feel part of your “pack”.

You should also take your dog out at least once a day. Even a short walk around the block will give him something to think about, and will make it less likely that he digs or chews.
