Help Stressed/ Destructive Dogs
While there are many reasons your dog could be stressed out or destructive, behaviors that appear when back to school starts are usually caused by:
- Being left alone all day (especially when they are used to having the kids and rest of family present.
- Not getting enough or consistent exercise.
- Not being let outside to pee/poop (especially older dogs that can’t hold it as long or puppies that have less control).
Hiring someone to come care for your dog or other pets while the family is away for school can make a big difference in the health and happiness of your canine friend.
No More Mr. Lonely (Dog)
Being alone can be tough for a pet, especially when they’ve had the last few months with a fuller house. Even our dog Bruin gets stressed being alone frequently (luckily, we can bring him to the shop)
With you and the kids gone, schedule a drop-in visit while your pup adjusts to the quietness of the home. They could even take them out for a walk everyday or on your long days when you don’t have time.
After a long work day, planning dinner, and knowing you have to help the kids with homework and put them to bed, the last thing you want to do is come home to a sad or slightly “neglected” dog.
Exercise for Happy, Healthy Dogs
Just like people, dogs can get stressed out by not getting enough exercise and fresh air. This can lead to all types of destructive behaviors such as chewing and ripping up furniture.
While you can exercise them yourself, even in the cold weather, this can be tricky during the school year when no one is home during the day.
Luckily, you can hire someone to come by your home and let them out, go for a walk, run, or even just throw them a ball in the back yard.
