Treatment Type: Lifestyle Practices
Rated for: Airedale Terrier / Saint Bernard Mix
Pets often don't get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to why they are engaging in destructive behaviors. Rather than trying to constantly stop behaviors, getting ahead of the behaviors by making sure the dog is getting plenty of exercise for his/her breed, and letting them know when it IS OK to be rowdy and playful works like magic for reducing those behaviors at other times when it isn't appreciated. Having a set time and routine for exercise is also really helpful!
