Boredom and Variety for your Dog

Puppy with his Favorite Toy!

       Boredom and variety are always inter connected in the case of a dog misbehaving. 
Yes. This is true. Many a times, boredom can be managed with variety of materials that will distract the animals to a greater extent.  Hence, the dog may not do the abnormal or unwanted activity arising out of the boredom experienced by it. 


Boredom experienced dogs may have different types of behavioral patterns.  For example, some dogs will be seen barking continuously and some may be engaged always in some digging activities, others will chew soft furnishings. 


There are many ways to get your dog out of its boredom activities. Many toys are available which simulate duck, dog, and other noises.




Cat and Dog Playing Together!




These may be kept inside the dogs bed and in particular, puppies love these items.  A buster cube with multiple treats may be placed in the dog's kennel and the animal soon understands how to roll the buster cube to get the treats it prefers. A Buster Cube is an ingenious toy, use for stimulating and activating your dog during play and feed time.  Instead of placing the food monotonously in one place, change the place of feeding suddenly. 


Such actions will be helpful for removing the boredom like activity in your dog. Activities pertaining to boredom need to be redefined well by the dog owners.  This will help them to a greater extent to drive away the unwanted behavior patterns in their pet dogs. 


For example, some dogs may often have destructive biting characters and will be seen biting chair, cloth, mats, and everything that can be seen. After ruling out the teething problem if it is a puppy, provide  it with some large sized balls, mineral mixture based bone materials and its own toys. 


Such variety of materials will help to reduce the boredom related activities.
