The dog handler explained the desire of dogs to gnaw inedible objects


Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Cynological Federation, explained why a dog can chew inedible objects.
In an interview with Radio 1 on Friday, March 28, the specialist stressed that changing the pet's eating habits should alert the owner, especially if it concerns eating inedible items. According to him, this may indicate a lack of nutrients in the pet, which he is trying to replenish on his own, as well as serious disorders in the body. A visit to the veterinarian will help you determine the cause more precisely.
A dog may start gnawing on inedible items due to an unbalanced diet, gastrointestinal problems, boredom or stress, as well as a change of teeth.
Caring and attention, the establishment of a diet and activity, and upbringing will help to correct the dog's behavior. A pet can be offered toys for self-study, for example, a kong or other toy that can be chewed is perfect. It is also worth eliminating stress from the dog's life: clearly define the rules, be a predictable owner, give her a commensurate load every day, and do not forget about full-fledged walks.
Golubev spoke on March 20 about ways to raise a dog without cruel methods. According to him, a timely reaction is important to correct her behavior. As a correction, you can use the termination of the desired action, restriction of the dog's freedom of action, and dissatisfied commands. Physical impact is justified only at times when the dog's actions may harm others or itself, but in this case it is not a means of punishment, but concern for the safety of others.
