Make sure they are getting enough exercise
As we mentioned, hunter and retriever dogswere bred to run and run. And even though you might live in the middle of a bigcity rather than out in the woods their ancestors (your pup) still have theinstinct – and the energy – to do so, so it’s crucial that they get enoughexercise.
If you don’t always have the time for longwalks – and your dog is relatively well behaved a run in the yard – a wellfenced in area – can be a good solution. Just make sure that you do not sendthem out when the weather is too cold or that they are not left out there whenno one is home. No yard? Most towns and cities these days offer fenced in dogparks where your dog can run to his heart’s content and you don’t have to trailhim for miles in order for him to do so.
Keeping hunter dogs away from slippers
So, how do you keep a hunter dog away fromyour slippers? Give them something else to exercise their instincts on. We arenot suggesting that you immediately have to take up hunting though. Instead,you need to occupy him and use up some of that energy (hunting dogs were bredto run for hours) and let him exercise his instincts in a different way. Hereare just a few suggestions:
Head into any pet store – or browse to any petsupplies retailer online – and you’ll quickly find that there are dozens anddozens of dog toys to choose from. But the fact is that some of those toys arebetter suited to hunter/retriever dogs than others. These include all of thefollowing:
When you are shopping for toys remember totake your dog’s size and chewing habits into account. Some of the smaller,flimsier toys probably won’t last for more than a few days (or even hours) inthe paws and jaws of a larger dog, so do a little research to find out whichoptions are rated the ‘toughest’.
Why Do Dogs Loves Shoes so Much?
How to stop a dog from eating shoes is a common request from dog owners who have grown tired of seeing their shoes get irremediably damaged. Whether its a new pair of boots or an expensive pair of stilettos, most new dog owners go through a pair of shoes or two.
As the saying goes, a dog will teach you how to clean up and leave less clutter around. Many dog owners learn this the hard way, but one of the things that most dog owners don’t consider is how much of the world dogs experience with their teeth.
