Husky Chewing - One Easy Way to Handle it
|
Is your Husky chewing on everything in the house? If so, then you'll want to read the next few paragraphs. Specifically, we'll discuss why Huskies chew, an easy way to handle puppy chewing, and tips on how to handle chewing in adult Huskies. Use the concepts in this article to curb your Husky's chewing problem.
Firstly, understand why Huskies chew before attempting to fix the behavior. Chewing is simply a natural tendency in all dogs. Puppies will chew because they are teething. Older dogs may chew because they're anxious or from boredom. An anxious dog will find the action of chewing calming and will try to release tension that way. No matter what the reason, chewing is completely natural for dogs.
Handling puppy chewing is really quite simple. You'll certainly want to offer your puppy lots of chewing toys. Stay away from giving him old shoes or slippers as he will not be able to tell the difference between shoes or slippers that he should and should not be chewing. In order to reinforce this behavior, praise him when he chews on appropriate items. Your puppy will learn soon enough what items he's permitted to chew on.
An adult Husky chewing problem can be handled much like how puppy chewing is handled. Again, make sure that he has lots of chewing toys. When you catch him chewing something that he shouldn't be chewing, distract him with a "No!" or a loud clap. Replace the item with something appropriate and praise him for chewing on that one instead. Huskies in particular respond well to positive reinforcement and after several repetitions should learn what is acceptable to chew.
Using this basic concept, Husky chewing can be easily managed. Although puppies may not chew for the same reasons as adults, the method to redirect their chewing is the same. Positive reinforcement is the key to teaching your Husky what he can and can't chew.
