Walk the perimeter of your property with your dog at least on the daily…A couple of good reasons for this…* Even if owners had a ‘glorious looking large section’ I have found from a great number of clients that their dogs wait to go off and ‘play’, or utilize the section, until their owners get home. However, once the action of patrolling starts evidence of exploratory play increases (from toy mangling, neighbours comments, droppings etc!).*You are doing your bit. You are surveying the territory for potential threats. Which could even be the neighbours pesky cat in your dog’s eyes but this way you are on duty and can have more training control of your dog in these situations in my experience, reducing barking (you may have to address further issues here). Perhaps also aiding a sense of security.Selina McIntyre, Dog Behavioural Consultant, Dogs Best Friend.For more behavioural tips, advice and tricks, why not visit my Dog Behavioural Blog at www.dogsbestfriend.co.nz
