10 common problems with dog behavior

3- Digging

Digging

If there is an opportunity, most dogs will dig up something; it’s a matter of instinct. Some types of dogs, such as B. Terriers tend to dig because of their hunting history. In general, most dogs dig for the following reasons:

Boredom or excess energy
Fear or fear
Hunting instinct
Convenient search (such as nesting or cooling)
The desire to hide objects (such as bones or toys)
Escape or get access to an area
This can be frustrating if your dog likes to dig your garden. Try to determine the cause of excavation and remove this source. Give your dog more exercise, spend more time together, and work on additional training. If digging seems unavoidable, set aside areas where your dog can dig freely, e.g. B. a sand Train your dog to dig only in this area.

Separation anxiety is one of the most frequently discussed problems with dog behavior. Its manifestations include vocalization, chewing, urinating and defecating inappropriately, and other forms of destruction that occur when a dog is separated from its owner. Not all of these actions are the result of separation anxiety. Signs of real fear of separation are:

The dog becomes restless when the owner prepares to leave.
Inappropriate behavior occurs in the first 15 to 45 minutes after leaving the owner.
The dog always wants to follow its owner.
The dog tries to touch its owner if possible.
True separation anxiety requires special training, behavior change, and desensitization exercises. In extreme cases, medical treatment can be recommended.
