Descrizione
Dog owners everywhere will no doubt agree that one of the most annoying things their precious pooch does on occasion is get into the trash.Picture the scene; you return home...
mostra di piùWhy, Sheldon?
Since dogs originally hail from wolves, they have an instinct that urges them to seek out food. In fact, many wolf packs, dating back thousands of years, lived just outside of villages so they could scavenge for food. Surely Sheldon is well fed, however, so why is he scavenging? There might be a few reasons.
- If this happens frequently, consult your veterinarian. It could be a medical issue, like Cushing’s disease, which can make dogs ravenous.
- Your dog is seeking even more of your attention. Dogs are smart, and they know they get added attention when they misbehave.
- It smells good, and it’s there. Kitchen trash typically contains wrappers with bits of food that you might not smell, but your dog does. Bathroom trash can have used feminine hygiene products and dirty tissues, both of which are tempting to Sheldon’s palate. Eeeewww.
Solutions
Of course, no one likes to admit the dog has gotten the better of them, but sometimes pet owners have to admit defeat. That’s not always the case, however, especially if you try the following:
- Exercise – wear him out. When your dog has run, jumped, and played adequately, it’s less likely he will think of rummaging through the trash.
- Keep his mouth busy – giving him something to chew or lick might just do the trick. Give him a bone, or fill his Kong with peanut butter.
- Implement the “Leave it!” command. It takes practice and should start with treats. Once he builds up his ability to “leave it,” use the command while pointing to the trash before you leave the house.
