Why Does My Dog Destroy My House? What should I do?

If you've got a dog, chances are you've had to deal with destruction. And if your dog is a puppy, it's virtually guaranteed. The good news is that it isn't your fault. You didn't do anything to create this behavior, and you can fix it! But how? Well, let's first address the reasons your dog is destroying your home. Only then can you figure out what to do about it!

Reasons why dogs destroy your house

There are several reasons why your dog might destroy your house. The first is boredom, which can lead to destructive behavior such as chewing or digging. It's important to give dogs plenty of enrichment and exercise opportunities during the day so they don't get bored while you're at work or school.

Separation anxiety is another common cause of destructive behavior in dogs. A dog with separation anxiety will often chew on things when left alone because it helps them feel better about being separated from their owner; some dogs even try to escape if they get the chance! If you think this might be the case for your pup, talk with an animal behaviorist about what steps you can take together to ensure that your dog feels safe in your absence.

Loneliness is also a possible cause of a dog's destructive behavior—if you leave home every day before sunrise and come back after sunset each night (or even longer), there won't be much time left over for playing catch or snuggling on the couch together! Try setting aside more time for quality bonding experiences between outings so that your dog doesn't feel lonely anymore.

Correct the dog's bad behavior in time

First of all, you should correct your dog's behavior. Most dogs will try to bite, scratch and destroy things when they are anxious or bored. The simplest way to prevent this is to give them more attention throughout the day. This can be done by taking them outside for walks, playing with their toys, and giving them treats when they deserve them. If you have other pets at home then try socializing them as well so that they get along better with each other.

Relieve stress with a toy

Another reason why puppies might chew on items or furniture is that it helps relieve tension or boredom for them. If this is the case then you should give your puppy something interesting like a chew bone or rubber ball to play with instead so that he doesn’t need anything else around him anymore!

The good news is, that this problem is easily addressed! The best thing you can do is simply to make sure your dog always has access to something else that they can chew on. If they don’t have any toys out, try giving them a bone or rawhide chew—but be careful about these because some dogs will swallow the pieces and choke on them. If you want to keep their teeth clean and healthy, use dental chews instead of their regular food to get rid of plaque buildup without causing excessive wear down from eating too many hard things.
