A lot of unwanted dog behavior comes down to too little exercise. Chewing up furniture, barking nonstop and separation anxiety are common examples.
That can sound alarming, but don't worry. Here are three ways to curb your pooch's appetite for bad behavior.
1. Use a Doggie Backpack. Load it lightly with small things you'll bring on your walk or hike, like spare poo bags and water. Your dog will enjoy having a job to do, and it keeps his attention on something besides random squirrels and other dogs.
2. Teach him how to walk on a treadmill. He gets a solid workout while you catch up on some t.v. time. Because treadmill training can be tedious, we suggest calling in an expert. Many dog trainers will teach your pup to handle the treadmill with ease.
3. Hire a dog walker. Dog walkers and pet sitters will happily stop by and take your dog for a walk or run. You get a few quiet moments, and he gets the chance to burn off energy and come back to you calm and relaxed.
