hi my 4month old roti is living in our garden ,each morning i find that he was fighting with my flowers in pots i have in my veranda.how can i teach him from this bad habit???thanks ..

this is a tricky one,does this only happen during the night?
first thing in the morning? during the day? to get to the bottom of this you have to be specific.
is your dog bored? does it have a rubber toy? is it at teething stage?
a good walk at before bedtime might make it sleep better.
perhaps have the plants in hanging baskets!
just my 2 cents.

i agree. you need to pay attention to these question because they can also be factors why your dog was fighting with your flowers in pots.

Hi LILI.


In order to correct your dog's bad habits, it is important for you to understand first how he has acquired them. Even if you think that your dog's behavior is unacceptable, for the dog, that is his natural way of behaving. You should do your best to find out the reason or the cause whenever there is a problem.

This could be the problem: Dogs that tear apart the house when they are left alone do so because they get bored, they are frustrated or they suffer from anxiety as a result of the separation. Maby if your dog gets some toys to play with while he is alone in the garden, he wount atack your flowers??


Ask yourself why you find your dog's behavior unacceptable and if the dog is aware that you don't approve of such behavior. Try to find out if you can avoid this behavior, correct it or change it by yourself or learn from dog trainer.
