If it is due to habit, criticize and stop it immediately
The occurrence of bad habits of dogs is not only related to their own habits, but also has a certain relationship with the owner's feeding methods. Dogs may dig through the trash can because there is food in the trash can that attracts dogs, or it may be because dogs use it as a way to relieve their emotions.
1. Reasons why dogs dig through trash cans
1. Because I am bored, I want to find something to relieve my boredom
This situation generally occurs when people are left at home alone. On dogs. Dogs are animals that require care, so if they are left alone at home for a long time, they will inevitably feel nervous and anxious. Therefore, dogs often find things to relieve their emotions, and also to gain the attention of their owners.
2. There is food residue in the waste bin
Dogs' senses are quite agile, so even if the remaining food is weighed down by other waste, the dog can find their place. Although dogs may not be very hungry, they may still dig out the food in the trash can and eat it.
3. Anxiety
The dog is anxious and worried. Will dig into the trash can and chew the items inside to relieve his mood.
2. How to innovate this question
Needle Regarding this situation, the first thing we have to do is to control it:
1. If this behavior isIf it happens under your nose, then once you find the dog approaching the trash can, scold it loudly and let it leave automatically. If the dog does not listen and still tries to bite, then a certain punishment must be given.
2. Strengthen the dog’s memory. If the dog refuses to leave, hit it twice with a well-rolled newspaper when it bites the trash. At the same time, you must reprimand loudly to make it realize that this is not appropriate.
Prevent dogs from becoming anxious
3 .If you are unwilling to "hit" your dog, or it is useless to control it for a long time, then you can only make a small mistake, because dogs are more sensitive to strong-smelling gases. So you might as well spray some air freshener or perfume around the trash can, or apply some Fengyou essence, cooling oil or other items that smell very irritating to dogs. This should make the dog like the trash can. The fun is low.
4. If the previous control is ineffective, then you can only put the trash can out of reach of the dog. Or dispose of the garbage as soon as possible to prevent the dog from digging into the trash can when we are not paying attention.
Of course, for "less intelligent" dogs, we can also use covered trash cans instead of open trash cans. In addition, puppies are often very curious and energetic, so we can prepare other toys for dogs to attract their attention and keep them from paying attention to the trash can. You can also consume their spirit so that they are not in excess.
In short, it is important to note that if you don’t like letting your dog go through the trash can, you should dispose of some food or items with strong odor as soon as possible. . Such items are very good at attracting the attention of dogs. Generally, dogs are likely to be attracted to them when they are bored. If the dog digs into the trash can because he is anxious, the first thing to do is to relieve the dog's anxious mood, and try to spend more time with the dog.
