Grizzly Bear is a 4-month-old gray poodle dog. Since she was about 3 months old, she has gone on a crooked road of biting furniture, boxes, clothes, quilts, etc. (;'the Д') ~ ~ ~

The grizzly bear demolition thing

Grizzly bears are currently in the tooth replacement period. Like humans, dogs especially like to bite things to relieve the discomfort of tooth replacement. Generally speaking, tooth replacement starts at 3 or 4 months and lasts for about 6 months. During the tooth replacement period, their teeth are very itchy. They want to solve this uncomfortable problem. Dogs find that finding something to bite can alleviate this problem. Dogs should be allowed to bite during this period, but they should learn to guide them as to what can and cannot bite.

At the same time, according to the comparison of young children, for puppies, everything is fresh and curious. She wants to know the world a little bit, by what? Smell, sight and touch. So what does the sense of touch depend on? Of course, it is their mouth. What is it? Is it delicious? Is it hard or not? What kind of taste? It depends on the dog's mouth to sense it. Try it with a few bites. Some shovelers may think that they will be fine when they grow up, but like people, if they get into the habit, they will still bite when they grow up. Therefore, we must start to correct, from an early age to develop good habits.

Of course, it is estimated that I often leave the grizzly bear alone at home, and the grizzly bear feels very bored. Therefore, every time I go home, she keeps circling around me. When I go to work, she bites my trouser leg and does not put her mouth down. Another thing is that on Saturday, I took her out to play. After playing for an hour, she would continue to play. I brought her back. When she came back, she was angry and wanted to play with her friends. I definitely wouldn't take her out to scratch the box.

Let's share a little bit of my experience in dealing with the grizzly bear demolition in this month.

Consumed energy is a center

1. Molar Toy

Molar toys are the favorite of the grizzly bear, or wool toys are the favorite of the grizzly bear. Although grizzly bears love to play with rubber toys, because grizzly bears are small dogs (or toy poodles), the biting force is still far less than that of medium and large dogs, and rubber toys are still too hard for her. However, the disadvantage of wool toys is that they are too easy to be bitten. In less than a month, I have changed 2 molar toys.

2. Get ready for your molar snacks

Although teething toys can relieve the anxiety of grizzly bears for a period of time, grizzly bears are not interested in playing. At this time, the molars snack is the grizzly favorite. The dog's love of food is reflected in the grizzly bear. In order to eat, the grizzly bear really took great pains. Whether she put it in the missing food toy or in the slow food tray, she can eat patiently for more than 10 minutes (you know, playing with the grizzly bear can take 6-7 minutes at most).

3. Take grizzly bears out to play

Originally, I didn't plan to take the grizzly out so soon. After all, it is still a little cold now, but her energy is too strong, and there are no other small animals in the family, so I took her out for fear that she would be too lonely. However, the process went smoothly. When she took the grizzly bear down, she sat on the ground without leaving. The turning point was that several puppies in the front building also came out and ran to the grizzly bear. under the leadership of their little friends, the grizzly bear finally began to enter the state ~\\\\(≡≡)/~ la la la la. After playing, the grizzly bear was reluctant to come back, but after playing all afternoon, the grizzly bear went to bed early in the evening, slept soundly, and did not make the night as usual.

One hand sweet jujube and one hand big stick are two basic points

1. Correct grizzly bite shoe

What I do is to put the shoes in the shoe cabinet and spray mint-flavored freshener on the shoes at the same time,
Dogs are sensitive to the smell of mint and don't like it very much, so she tries to walk around the shoe cabinet now. But the grizzly's love for slippers has never been broken. At this time, I can only put some molars toys or molars snacks at a distance when grizzly bears are interested in slippers. Obviously, grizzly bears are more interested in toys and snacks. After several times like this, she basically knew that she could not bite her shoes, but occasionally I would pick her up and hit her lightly.

2. Correct the grizzly bear biting the net cable

our network cable connects the big house and the small house. it is placed on the ground in groups at the computer desk. at the beginning, it was grizzly bear's favorite. she always fiddles with it and bites it gently with her teeth. In order to be afraid of her electric shock, I really thought of many ways. First of all, I specially bought a 3-meter-long network cable, put it in the living room, took the grizzly bear to the living room, and then hid in the kitchen quietly, trying not to let the grizzly bear see. As soon as the grizzly bear bites, I come out, spray mint lemonade on her, then shout at her, and sometimes hit her twice. At the same time, throw the molar toy to her, hide, if she bite the molar toy, feed her a grain of dog food. After a few times, she was not interested in the network cable.

3. CORRECTED A Grizzly BITE FURNITURE

Grizzly bear especially loves to bite the door. Whenever she bites the door, at the beginning, I will walk quietly. If she continues to bite, I will clap my hands and say loudly, don't bite! At this time, the grizzly bear will generally stop action. She usually shrinks her ears and depresses her whole body, almost into a ball. She is very smart to know that I am angry.
Then, just ignore her and watch her continue to move. If her biting behavior is restrained, I will give her some dog food. If she continues to bite, she will continue to slap and shout don't move.

Prevention of pica

Apart from the fact that puppies grind their teeth and their owners cannot accompany them for a long time, there is another aspect that needs special attention, namely pica. When a dog is malnourished, has parasites in the body or lacks trace elements, the dog will not only bite, but also eat garbage and other behaviors. This situation can be summarized as pica. Of course, this is not the case with grizzly bears in our family, because I still pay more attention to her intake of trace elements, especially bought nutrition cream, which is rich in trace elements. Nutrition balance here, I chose a more suitable dog food, will feed her once a week as a supplement (stick a feeding fish picture below, because bite carefully remove the fish bones, so I'm good at feeding). At the same time, timely deworming is also very necessary. After all, dogs bite furniture indiscriminately and easily lick eggs. Therefore, deworming in vivo is required once a month during the molar period (April-June).
