[Experience Sharing] How to solve the problem of dogs eating indiscriminately

In daily life, some dogs will eat some things they should not eat, such as eating grass, pica, eating urine pads and so on, so today I will share how my dog solves the problem of eating indiscriminately.

Why do dogs eat indiscriminately and what are their behavioral symptoms?

Physical factors

Many dogs may eat indiscriminately because of physical discomfort or lack of trace elements, such as eating feces, gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion caused by lack of trace elements in the body, dogs will eat grass, the crude fiber in the grass can help dogs digest (but now many places will use pesticides, dogs eat grass is particularly easy to eat pesticides by mistake, leading to dog poisoning. I hope all parents must watch the dog.

Behavioral factors

Apart from physical factors, dogs eat in disorder. Some parents will beat dogs when they see dogs defecate in disorder at home. After a long time, some dogs are afraid that their owners will beat them every time they defecate, causing them to eat their excrement. At this time, when the owners come home from work, they find that the dogs have no excrement, and then praise the dogs. In this way, the dogs will think that I ate the shit and the owner was happy, and from then on, the dog began to eat the shit.

Some dogs will push down the trash can and eat food in the trash can. This is because the food is very resistant to the dog, and the owner will throw the leftover food into the trash can. If the food is too fragrant, the dog will go to the trash can to look for food. Over time, the dog will think that there is food he likes in the trash can.

When I was a child, my Kuka especially liked to tear urine pads to eat. This is because he is too energetic. Dogs love to play and need a certain amount of time to vent his remaining energy every day. If he is too energetic and can't find something he can do, it will cause him to tear things around and even eat them.

How to Solve the Problem of Dogs Eating Indiscriminately

Many owners know that most of the reasons for eating shit are caused by the lack of trace elements, so they began to supplement trace elements, but after eating for a period of time, they found that the situation of dogs eating in disorder has not improved, that is, there is no "right remedy", found that dogs eat in disorder, suspected of lack of trace elements, we need to go to the hospital for a check at the first time to determine whether dogs lack trace elements. What is missing to make up for what, check out the real lack of trace elements, then at this time we supplement trace elements, the dog will eat shit will be improved.

And the dog behavior problems lead to eating, so we need to be patient to teach to get rid of the character of eating. Take the problem that dogs are afraid of being beaten to eat shit because of disorderly shit. Disorderly shit is a necessary process for every puppy. My family is also like this. My treatment method is very simple. If you find that disorderly shit needs to be criticized at the first time, don't beat it. The tone needs to be a little tough, the eyes are a little fierce, just say a few words, the dog can feel your emotions, and then pick up the shit and throw it on the dog toilet, and then the tone is soft to tell it that this is the place where it should shit, adhering to the principle of "reward for doing right, ignore it for doing wrong", once the dog does right, it must be praised and rewarded, the dog will feel. I can have delicious shit here, so over time, the dog will naturally learn to shit at a fixed point, and at the same time, it will not eat shit.

It is particularly easy for the dog to turn over the trash can. The trash can can be replaced with a trash can with a lid to isolate the food in the trash can. In this way, the smell of the food will be reduced, and the temptation to the dog will also be reduced. At the same time, when you see the dog pushing the trash can again, stop it in time. After a long time, the dog will forget the existence of food residues in the trash can.

Kuka used to like to tear the urine pad and eat it, which is very harmful to his stomach. I looked up a lot of information and found that it was because he was too bored and had no place to vent. So I would buy him a lot of toys or molars. The reason for buying them is that dogs can consume their energy and pressure by playing and grinding their teeth, so that dogs can have something to do. So that his attention can be distracted, so that he will not tear the urine pad to eat, plus I will accompany him to walk the dog or play for about 2 hours every day, to help him release enough energy, and when he is tired of playing, he will go to bed naturally, instead of tearing the urine pad and eating to play. This method is very effective, and it solved the problem in about a week. The problem of
