How to Stop Your Dog from Chewing and Digging
Has your dog ever chewed up your shoes, shredded toilet paper, or destroyed your couch? Maybe they’ve swallowed something dangerous, leading to an expensive trip to the vet? Destructive chewing and digging are common dog behaviors, but with the right training, they can be managed.
Why Do Dogs Chew and Dig?
Chewing and digging are natural instincts, not necessarily acts of defiance. Dogs do it for several reasons, including:
🐶 Boredom & Lack of Stimulation – Dogs left alone for too long may chew for entertainment.
🐶 Stress & Anxiety – Changes in routine, a new pet, or even a new baby can trigger destructive behavior.
🐶 Excess Energy – Without enough physical and mental exercise, dogs may resort to chewing and digging.
🐶 Mimicking Your Behavior – If they see you digging in the garden, they might join in!
