Why your dog destroys your furniture

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Dogs exhibiting destructive behaviours like chewing furniture, barking excessively, or digging may be experiencing boredom rather than being poorly trained. Exercise, particularly daily walks, is the most important solution for releasing pent-up energy and reducing anxiety. Additional boredom-busting strategies include leaving the television or radio on for company, using puzzle feeders that engage their food drive, and providing appropriate chew toys that allow dogs to self-soothe naturally.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
