While some dogs are certainly more challenging than others, there really aren't any truly bad dogs. Most dogs truly want to please their owner and receive plenty of love and attention in return. However, misbehavior is not uncommon and there are usually some good reasons why dogs are destructive or naughty. Learning why dogs misbehaves can help you find ways to curb difficult behavior and get the most out of your relationship.

Dogs misbehave due primarily four reasons. They might be lonely, bored, scared or untrained. Not being taught proper behavior can often lead to dogs to misbehave. Many problems are solved with dog training and this includes teaching your dog to obey basic commands, walk properly on a leash, stop running away and coming whenever you call them.

Hiring a dog walking or pet sitting service to come and take your dog on a walk on a regular basis is a good alternative. Owners can rest easy as their dogs can go to the bathroom as well as get their fair share of exercise activities to keep them tired and less likely to destroy homes. If you will only be gone for an hour or two, using a crate can be a helpful solution. You may also want to consider doggie day care centers particularly if you work for a considerable amount of time.

Boredom produces several problems. Some dogs have an almost limitless amount of energy while others are quite content with a morning walk or light play time. Dogs tend to find other ways to deal with their boredom such as snacking on our shoes when they aren't able to release this energy off. Make sure that your dogs are provided with sufficient exercise activities, chew toys, fun games and treats that your dog must spend a considerable amount of time with to extricate.
