Boredom and variety are always interconnected in cases of dogs misbehaving. Many times, boredom can be managed with a variety of materials that will distract the animal to a greater extent. Hence, the dog may not do the abnormal or unwanted activity arising out of the boredom experienced by it.
Boredom experienced dogs may have different types of behavioral patterns. For example, some dogs will be seen barking continuously and some may be engaged always in some digging activities.
There are many ways to get your dog out of its boredom activities. Many toys are available which can really counteract against boredom.
A hard bone stuffed with peanut butter or special cheese stuffing is great or those great interactive toys, especially the ones that you insert treats into and your dog needs to work at it to retrieve them. One great example is the Buster Cube; just insert multiple treats inside, place it in the dog’s crate or sheltered area and soon he will understand how to roll the cube around to get at the treats inside. This is an ingenious toy used especially for simulating and activating your dog during play and feed time. When you mentally work a dog to retrieve treats it stimulates his mind and his natural instinct to search and work for food. This can help reduce his stress levels and create a much calmer pet.
Pet activities pertaining to boredom need to be reduced quickly by the dog owners. This helps to a great extent to drive away the unwanted behavior patterns in your pet. For example, some dogs may often have destructive biting characters and will be seen biting chair, cloth, mats, and everything that can see. After ruling out the teething problem if it is a puppy, provide it with some large-sized balls, mineral mixture based bone materials, etc. Such variety of materials help to reduce the boredom related activities.
