How to handle teacup dogs liking to scratch and bite furniture
However, during the daily raising of teacup dogs, improper methods may inevitably cause your dog to develop bad habits! Among these, the most troubling for pet owners is that teacup dogs like to scratch furniture. So how should I teach my teacup dog to get on the right track and stay away from scratching furniture habits? Below, editor Boqi will tell everyone how to correct this!

Some furniture and floors have certain scents; some of these scents are favored by teacup dogs. If the teacup dog occasionally discovers a furniture scent it likes, then the furniture will be doomed, as the dog will scratch and bite the furniture because of this scent!
Don’t underestimate teacup dogs because of their small size; they have very abundant energy. So if there are really no toys for them to play with at home, they will get bored and start scratching and biting furniture, eventually turning it into a habit!

If the owner is absent from the teacup dog’s sight for a long time, it will feel very lonely and gradually become very anxious, with furniture becoming the object of its venting!
If the teacup dog is in its growth stage, the teething period is inevitable. During this time, due to teething, the teacup dog will target the furniture!

It is unrealistic to make teacup dogs completely stay away from furniture. As owners, what we need to do is train the teacup dogs not to scratch and bite furniture! The specific training methods are as follows!
Place a wooden post near the teacup dog’s bed and smear some secretions on the post that the teacup dog likes, such as the gland secretions on its paws, which is the favorite secretion of teacup dogs! In this way, everyone has something that can replace furniture, allowing the teacup dog to vent!

After placing it, train the teacup dog to scratch and nibble on these posts. After practicing several times, the teacup dog will get used to scratching and nibbling on this wooden post to vent!
If the teacup dog has already developed the habit of scratching and biting furniture, then what we need to do is not only protect the furniture but also divert the teacup dog’s attention. Place wooden boards or posts next to the furniture, use the above method to let the teacup dog get used to the boards or posts, and then gradually move the boards or posts away from the furniture. This way, the teacup dog’s target will be shifted, and it will treat the boards or posts as the original furniture!
