Miniature Chair
How do I stop my dog from making a mess while I’m gone?
I have a 6 y/o miniature poodle that has started making a mess when I am out. He has also only started this within the last few months. He gets into the garbage or will climb chairs to get on the counters to get at food. I feed him a half of a cup of kibble twice a day when I eat at home. And he doesn’t always eat what I give him.
And how am I supposed to punish him for making the mess? I have heard that I cannot punish him when I find it because he will not know what I am punishing him for.
So how do I get him to stop and what am I supposed to do until he does stop?
Here is a good site to deal with this common problem>> http://www.wpxi.com/pets/9178470/detail.html
I would recommend trying Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea works very well, and is safe for him. Dump it out of the teabag, and use 1 teaspoon for small breed, up to 1 tablespoon for a large breed. mix it in a little canned food, such as Mighty Dog, or Cesar’s, and give about 30 minutes before he needs to relax. It will keep him happy, but reduce stress.
If your grocer doesn’t carry chamomlile, you can use ‘Sleepytime Tea’ as it is the same,but with added herbs. Plain chamomile tastes better to a dog.
