Sat - 8:00am to 4:00pm / Sun - 9:00am to 4:00pm Tip of the month Karen Guignard, Bark Busters Dog Behavioral Therapist and Master Trainer. Go to for more information Boredom can lead your dog to misbehave or engage in destructive behaviors like chewing and digging. If your dog seems to prefer your yard or household items over his toys to chew, one way to discourage him is to have the item itself give the correction by applying a foul-tasting product such as Grannick's Bitter Apple spray, citronella or hot chili sauce to it. Never give your dog old shoes or clothing items to chew, as he may not distinguish between these old items and new ones. Digging is a normal behavior for dogs. They dig in search of food, to escape, investigate sounds and smells, to improve their shelter. This behavior can be triggered by boredom, separation anxiety, chasing rodents or bugs, and/or a nutritional deficiency. The reason for the digging must be determined before a possible training solution can be tried. Contact your local Bark Busters Dog Behavioral Therapist to help you with this tricky behavioral issue.
