How To Stop Your Dog From Chewing On Its Leash
Introduction: A dog biting its leash can be one of the most frustrating parts of being a dog owner. That’s because it hinders walk time, play time, and can even cause a dog to get loose. Luckily there are some easy steps to take to make sure it’s never a problem again.
Step 1: Understand your dog. A dog that is tugging on its leash is obviously doing it for a reason. That reason is usually because the dog wants to play. Perhaps the pup is understimulated and needs to release some energy. It could also be because a dog is angry about something. It all comes down to reading your dogs signs.
Step 2: Provide an alternative to chewing on the leash. A great idea is to give the dog something to play fetch with such as a ball or a different toy. When a dog has something to chase after and subsequently chew on, they will be less inclined to tug on their leash.
Step 3: Reward your dog when it’s not biting its leash. A great way to teach your dog that chewing on the leash is bad is by giving a treat each time the dog goes a long time span without chewing.
Step 4: The final step is to get a leash and collar that doesn’t allow for a dog to bite on it. This is typically used as a last resort if the other steps don’t work. There are certain collars out there such as choker ones or even a harness which don’t give the dog the option to chew up the leash.
Get Fido to Stop Eating Feces!
Here we’ll give you the clear and simple step-by-step way to stop your pet from eating feces. Most people don’t understand what this means. If your dog eats his or her own feces it may not cause a serious health problem but if he is in the cat box, oh boy! This can be a contributing factor to causing doggie diabetes and intestinal bacterial issues. So, let’s nip this thing in the bud for you. There are many ways to address this issue and since every animal is unique, you may have to experiment a bit for this to be a success.
A Little Heat may Put out His Fire for Feces
A little Cayenne pepper could be just the thing to turn the praise for poop into no-go territory. Just use a sprinkling of Cayenne pepper into the feces and the next time they go for it, well, they may be deterred. You may have to do this more than once or resort to hot sauce.
Sweet Pineapple
Ah the sweet delicious pineapple we love as a fruity summer drink is a big game changer to the dog that tastes that in the feces. The juice is fine from a can. Two tablespoons should do the trick and the taste is vial to them!
Supplements
Your dog is doing this to replace something he is missing in his diet. Tell the vet what’s happening and get him on some hearty supplementation to heal.
