What a bored dog, even a small one, can turn an apartment into (9 photos)

Dogs are active creatures, especially when they are puppies and juniors. But even a fully grown, serious dog over 3-5 years old cannot sit at home doing nothing all day. He gets bored and does not know what to do with himself.





It is good if the owner has time for a long morning and evening walk, but if the dog is taken out twice a day for 15 minutes just to relieve itself, and it sits alone all day, the apartment will be in trouble.



Toys, which every dog ​​should have, help to relieve some of the dog's energy. The more, the better. Otherwise, he/she will chew on shoes, chair legs, books, and anything else that comes under their paws!





And hunting breeds also love to dig, so they can destroy all the upholstered furniture in a couple of hours. They definitely need to walk a lot, preferably in a park or forest. In the city, boring standard walks in the concrete jungle are not enough for them.



As for sled dogs, it is generally unrealistic to walk a husky to its fill. Huskies are at the top of the list of domestic pogromists. It is like bringing a wolf into the house: everything will be destroyed.



Some dogs cooperate with other pets - cats and parrots. Together, this gang will raid the refrigerator, destroy flowers and curtains, rip up pillows and books.



And not at all out of malice! The dog does not understand that these things are dear to the person in the form in which he left them when he left for work. She was just bored.



To prevent this from happening, you need to provide the dog with toys, walk it well, and train it. If the dog ruins small things, you can spray them with a spray like "anti-gnaw". It is not a fact that it will help, but still. Shoes are best stored in closets while the puppy is small. And if there are a lot of things dear to the heart at home, it is better to put them out of reach.



Some people, when leaving home, try to limit the dog's space, say, to a corridor, but this does not always help: dog teeth can cope with an interior door.



Lock the dog in the bathroom is also not a solution. The door will most likely be smashed or scratched so much that you will have to buy a new one. In general - only patience, education, toys, walking and personal caution.
