Dogs love to bite things randomly and are experts at wrecking the house. Owners get angry and want to spank their dogs, but when they see those pitiful eyes, they can’t bring themselves to do it. It’s really a mix of love and frustration. Many owners ask: What to do when dogs bite things randomly? How to break the habit of dogs biting things randomly? The editor will teach you a few tricks.

A dog’s favorite object to chew on is none other than slippers. They often hold them in their mouths dragging them around or attack the slippers with teeth and paws, tearing and biting them. After a few days, the slippers are in shambles. If the dog bites valuable or dangerous items, the consequences are unimaginable. How to get the dog to stop this habit?

To prevent dogs from randomly biting household items, the first thing you should do is to put away all the items that their teeth “favor” the most. For example, the dog’s favorite slippers must be put in the shoe cabinet promptly, and the cabinet door must be closed tightly so the dog can’t find them even if it wants to bite. Valuable books and discs should also be stored in the bookshelf and not casually spread on the coffee table, or the dog will treat them just as carelessly. In short, every item that might be “attacked” by your dog should be promptly organized and put away.

Keeping household items away from the dog is a good way to prevent damage, but it also has a drawback: the dog will always be in a safe, clean environment and will never learn to distinguish what can be bitten and what cannot. If one day you are careless, or some items cannot be hidden temporarily, not only might things get damaged, but it might also put the dog in danger. Therefore, besides storing valuable items, we also need to “educate” the dog to distinguish between things it can bite and those it cannot.

In most families, among the objects dogs like to tear and bite, the most dangerous are electrical wires. Wires in the corners of walls, power cords behind the refrigerator, wires exposed near lights, and various cables behind computer hosts… If the dog bites through these wires, it not only causes trouble for you but can also put the dog and the whole family in unknown danger. Therefore, learning to keep your dog away from these hazardous items is very necessary.

Prepare a normal electric wire, of course, this wire must not be powered. Then prepare two items: a spray bottle and a plush toy.

Place the wire in front of the dog, then leave the dog’s sight and hide in a corner to secretly observe the dog’s actions.

When the dog discovers this novel electric wire, it will definitely be curious and use its paws and teeth to “explore” it. When it puts the wire in its mouth and prepares to bite it, you must immediately jump out and say to the dog: “No!” Then spray water at it, and offer the plush toy instead of the wire as a biting object. Repeat this training several times, and over time, the dog will understand that the “electric wire” is something it must not touch.
