In Sara Novak's post on pup anxiety, she suggested an excellent remedy for calming your dog's nerves naturally. Keeping your dog calm can save you from having to replace furniture and carpets destroyed by a stressed-out pooch. But nerves aren't the only thing that can make a dog behave badly. Sometimes the chewing, scratching, and destroying of furniture comes from one thing—doggy boredom.
While we're away at work during the day, or even out at night, our dogs surely miss us. However some dogs become so bored they take it to a whole new level—and your home furnishings pay the price. But you can prevent your dog from being bored and nipping these behavior problems in the bud. Just introduce the right type of dog toys and make sure your dog is getting enough exercise.
