A cynologist named the reasons for the constant barking of dogs

Dogs do not bark out of spite, there are reasons for this behavior. The president of the Russian Cynological Federation Vladimir Golubev told about it on Friday, February 21.

"To cope with the problem, it is necessary to analyze in detail the behavior of the dog, your approach to education, as well as check the health of the pet. This will help to find the cause and correct the undesirable actions of the dog," he told Radio 1.

According to the cynologist, a dog can express its fright by barking. This may be the behavior of timid and fearful dogs, which more often than their relatives express emotions by barking. In addition, this behavior may be exhibited by pets that have had unpleasant experiences in the past.

In addition, a dog may defend itself by barking. The pet may be defending its territory and food as well as its owners.

If the dog is not getting enough walks and the owner is not spending enough time with him, the pet will look for something to do on his own. Such an activity can be howling and barking.

Golubev advised first of all to exclude health problems of the animal. Then you should reconsider your approach to education: if the dog is afraid to stay home alone or there are other stressful situations, you should try to remove the source of excitement. You can pay attention to the daily routine of the animal: at least once a day the dog should be taken out for a long walk. In addition, the pet should buy toys for independent activities.

The day before the cynologist said that problems with cleanliness in the animal can speak of dementia, reports 360.ru.

On February 19, Golubev said that dogs are not recommended to eat snow because of the high risk of poisoning, reports the Moscow city news agency.

On February 15, the expert told Izvestia whether it is safe for dogs to chew on a wooden stick. He warned that the popular stick game can cause poisoning, allergies and injuries. If the stick you find on the street has been chewed by other animals before or has harmful substances on it, your pet could get an infection or poisoning. In addition, in the process of chewing, the dog can plant splinters in the muzzle and mouth.

The cynologist noted that there are many specialized safe toys that are suitable for chewing, and it is better to give preference to them.

Earlier, on February 10, Golubev told why a dog can chew wallpaper. According to the specialist, this can happen because the pet lacks physical activity, it lacks new experiences and impressions, reports NSN.
