I believe that many pet owners will be annoyed by their dogs eating indiscriminately, especially when dogs eat indiscriminately, which can lead to physical problems, various diseases, and of course poisoning. How can we get rid of the bad habit of dogs eating randomly?
1. Supplementing trace elements
Dogs will eat randomly when they are deficient in trace elements. Especially dogs who usually have a relatively simple diet. When they are lacking trace elements, they will supplement it by eating poop, chewing on walls, eating vegetation, soil, etc. If this is the case, you need to stop the dog in time and go to the pet hospital to buy some trace element tablets to give to the dog to see if there is any relief.
2. Carry out training
If the dog’s eating indiscriminately is a behavioral problem, then it needs to be well educated. When the dog eats randomly, the owner must stop it immediately. He can rebuke loudly and hit it appropriately, take the object away, and then bring the object in front of the dog. If the dog wants to eat again, punish it again until it no longer wants to eat. When the dog stops picking up food, you can give a certain reward. After such repeated training, the dog will no longer dare to eat randomly.
3. Wear a collar or muzzle
If the dog is already older and cannot change its habit of eating randomly after repeated training, it is recommended that the owner first wear a collar or muzzle on the dog when taking the dog out. The model must be chosen correctly, so as to prevent the dog from eating randomly outside.
Note: During the process of training a dog to refuse food, the owner must be patient and do not beat or scold the dog casually, otherwise it is likely to cause the dog's rebellious psychology.
