The secret weapon to targeting any behavioral issues with your dog is EXERCISE!!! Whether you are dealing with anxiety, reactivity , digging , jumping , chewing, you name it, exercise is the key component for any behavior modification.
Our dogs have fulfillment needs, they are genetically designed to move and be active. Without the proper outlets, frustration will be guaranteed to build and erupt into unwanted behaviors. Dogs need an outlet for all that energy to go and if that’s not provided they will find their own outlets that are not balanced.
Your dogs natural energy and breed matters, as a rule of thumb all dogs should have 2 walks per day for 30 minutes. Your high drive dogs and working breeds need 2 to 3 walks per day for 1 Hour . And no, time in the backyard does not count.
We as humans expect a lot out of our dogs, the question to ask is are we giving them what they need from us.
