I believe that many poop collectors have encountered this kind of headache. One day when they came home from work, their house was in a mess, as if it had been visited by a thief. In the end, it was discovered that the dog at home was the culprit. Moreover, there are no restrictions on the types of criminals. The docile and intelligent golden retriever can cause trouble, the small and exquisite teddy can make trouble, and the Erha Alaska can also make trouble. Why is this? Why do dogs like to chew things at home so much?

Today I will analyze for everyone one by one why dogs like to bite things randomly.

　*1. Boring*

Dogs need physical and mental stimulation every day. If they don’t get enough exercise, they will find their own channels to vent. When dogs choose to chew on clothing or furniture, it may be because they feel there is nothing more fun to do! Therefore, parents can try to give them special toys so that they can vent their energy in the right place. ~

　*2. Anxiety*

Dogs with separation anxiety are likely to have the bad habit of chewing (plus barking, restlessness, etc.). They will learn to relieve their anxiety by chewing clothing, cages, doors and other items. This is not only harmful to dogs. In addition to a dog’s poor mental health, a dog’s teeth can also be damaged. The best way to deal with separation anxiety is to seek a professional dog behaviorist!

*3. I’m hungry*

If your dog doesn’t eat enough, he will take in nutrients on his own, that is, start with chewable items around him. The consequences of eating different foods can be very dangerous, so if the owner is trying to help the dog lose weight, or the dog always feels that it is not eating enough, it is best to take it to the veterinarian for a check-up and discuss with him how to adjust the dog's diet.

　*4. Teeth*

When puppies go through teething, their mouths will be very itchy, so you really can’t blame them for looking for things to bite! When they want to bite, quickly stuff a suitable toy into it and let it relieve the itchy teeth. It’s bitter~

　*5. Attracted by taste or texture*

Sometimes dogs chew things just for fun (probably like us chewing gum?), and there is always the owner's smell (sweat smell) on the clothes, which makes them feel at ease. So to prevent your dog from chewing your clothes because he misses you, add a lid to the laundry basket!
