I asked her if she changed her schedule, if hes home alone more lately, etc... but nothing has changed lately. Hes 1 yr old so hes not teething...
I suggested a trainer and get new toys (he might be bored) and take him out on long walks in the morning so hes tired during the day. But does anyone else have this problem. it sort of happened out of nowhere according to her.
Any input or past experience would be really helpful. Thnx yorkietalk! =) |
a "bad" dog is usually a bored dog... so i think your suggestions are RIGHT on.. he needs to be walked.. at least twice a day. is it a yorkie? If she is low on time she can buy those little doggy back packs at petsmart and put "weights" in them to get the affect of a long walk in a shorter walk (maybe a small tomato juice can?)
Also he should have toys that keep him engaged all day. sounds like you know what you are talking about
