Quite often owners of dachshunds complain of the pets. Having stayed at home one, the puppy gnaws footwear, furniture, tears up wall-paper, etc. In a word, "comes off" as soon as can. Punishment does not work, hooliganism continues. Most often owners are guilty of bad behavior of the pet.
Instruction
1. Most often the dachshund creates "dirty tricks" when there is no owner the house. Having appeared in several hours, it punishes a dog. The puppy, however, is not capable to connect among themselves these two events. "Crime" was committed long ago, and punishment followed after arrival of the owner. And whether there was a crime? Dogs are animals gregarious. Having remained one, the kid has a stress. It is necessary to wait, and it is quite heavy. Perhaps, he has nothing to do. Here he also tries to compensate fear and boredom in the way, available and pleasant for it. Punishment contacts only desire of the owner to strengthen the dominant position. And the puppy the behavior expresses obedience, and the owner (the leader of pack!) mistakenly considers that the kid understood what he was punished for. Whether it is worth being surprised that the dog continues "to soil". Punishment – the most useless action taken by the owner in this case.
2. It is the best of all that during the day someone looked after a dog. If it is impossible, beforehand remove all the place, valuable and dangerous in inaccessible for the pet. Hide wires, close wall-paper sheets of plywood, put away footwear, etc.
3. Get special toys which can be chewed and gnawed. You praise and encourage a dog when she is engaged in them. Leaving the house, leave favourite toys of your pet on a floor. It is easier for dog to be waited for the owner if she is busy with something.
4. Establish an accurate daily routine and adhere to it. The puppy will get used to him and will transfer much easier loneliness. He will feel that, for example, the training or evening walk will follow in a couple of hours, and will wait.
5. For normal mental health and development the puppy needs full walking, work and communication. A dachshund – a dog very active. Perhaps, your kid lacks physical activity. Make walks longer, occupy a dog with working off of teams. Try that she received new impressions more often.
6. If it is not possible to cope with a problem, think of acquisition of the special open-air cage for dogs. Before leaving the house properly feed a dachshund. Put her to the open-air cage. Surely leave toys. Near the open-air cage put a bowl with water so that the puppy could reach it. This measure will save your house from the destroying action of dog teeth, and your pet from possible injuries.
