Boredom often fuels many common behavior problems in dogs. Without any physical and mental stimulation, a dog will try to find ways to entertain himself. This can lead to excessive barking, inappropriate chewing, and digging. While training can help address some of these problems, there are also steps you can take to keep your dog from developing destructive behavior.

Adequate Physical and Mental Stimulation

A bored dog engages in destructive behavior to burn off excess energy and to have something to occupy their time with. Regular adequate exercise can vent off pent-up energy and keep them busy.

Interesting Dog-Safe Toys

Enriching your pet’s immediate environment with lots of interactive toys can help keep boredom at bay. Go for toys that are fun yet offer a mental challenge for your pooch. Chew bones can also keep your pooch engrossed for a while.
