Annoying Habits Your Dog Does

Dear Adam:

My Springer Spaniel has gotten a touch greater proof against the come command while she knows it means "Get in the kennel." At night time, she is going in among 9 and ten. And like clock work, she wakes me up at 2:00 am. I am certain I have started out a awful dependancy, however I am afraid the acquaintances are being disturbed. She still digs a couple of times every week throughout the day. It’s like she is going into a panic after four to 5 hours within the kennel.

Thanks,
Dick

Dear Dick:

1. Go to her and make her come while you name her, in case you do no longer see that she movements to reply inside half a second of your command. But I personally like to use a selected command together with, "Get inside the kennel." If she does not immediately flow toward the kennel, I will go and get her and walk her inside the kennel. If you wait to look if she will reply, then she will wait to see in case you’re going to make her. (That is, till the conduct has come to be a conditioned response.)

When you assert kennel, you suggest a crate– for at night, right? If not, then this is in which she ought to be snoozing at night time. Put her in the crate after which supply her a cookie. This will improve that going into the crate is a tremendous factor.

2. For the outdoor kennel, purchase some hardware mesh or chicken cord and put it below the whole kennel run after which positioned about an inch of dirt on pinnacle of that. Dogs don’t like digging and clawing in opposition to this sort of material.

3. Increase her workout regimen. Buy yourself a bike and take her for a 2 mile run each day. It’s right for you, too… And it’ll paintings wonders in decreasing your dog’s boredom.

That’s keen on now, folks!
Adam
