well teaching my dog not to chew is very very hard i can see why he does it he gets bored whilst we are away i dont punish him for this as i know this is the only reason why he does this he doesnt chew when we are not there and he likes the kennel whats the problem with that???
Well, if he chews because he is bored, then surely it is better to find ways to alleviate his boredom, rather than shut him in a kennel, where he is still bored, but doesn't have anything to chew
In the long term, if his need for stimulation is not being met, then he may begin to chew his paws, tail or ears instead, as an outlet for his boredom
Kennelling him doesn't take the problem away, it just confines the dog to prevent him doing something you dislike, it doesn't alter the underlying stress that the dog is experiencing
I don't understand why anyone chooses to kennel a pet dog for noise or destruction, changes should be made to accommodate their needs - after all, they are a member of the family too, aren't they?
