How to stop a dog from destroying the house

If the dog destroys everything because of fear to loneliness, we will have to teach it to be alone since the beginning. There are people who take their puppies everywhere so that they get used to all kinds of situations. Later, when the puppy is an adult, it turns into a drag and ends up staying home. The result is that it is used to everything, except loneliness. We have seen that the fear to loneliness is usually related to the hyper dependency of the owner. We will not insist about preventive measures anymore. In practice, it is not convenient to scold the dog when we come back. We will act as if nothing happened. We will order the dog to go to its corner and we will go out for a walk, after telling it to lie down of course. If when we come back, five minutes later, and the animal is still in the same place we will congratulate it. If it has had time to get up and break something we will remain outside for less time. The dog must associate leaving and coming back with its good conduct and the consequent satisfaction. Then we will not give it any time to be able to cause any destruction. Little by little we will increase the time of absence.

If the dog gets bored we have to distract it. We will have to give it its own toys that it can rip apart as it wishes. If the dog destroys its bed, we will not buy it a new one. A resort is to put a bitter product on the elements that are most likely to be attacked, even though it is preferable to find a natural correction of these conducts. We will also give it a personal object for it to keep an eye on it, which will make it proud of its new job. If the real origin of the disaster is revenge, we will try to fix all the problems before we leave and we shall never leave after scolding the dog. We will not lock the dog up anywhere as a punishment.
