Why is my dog suddenly so destructive?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Destructive behavior in dogs is fairly common and can be normal behavior (playing/exploring) or associated with anxiety due to boredom from lack of exercise and/or confinement, being separated from a family member, loud noises (thunder, fireworks), and being an obsessive-compulsive individual.


Why is my dog all of a sudden being destructive?

When an older dog suddenly starts to chew, it's usually a clue that something is up with them. The most common culprits are a sudden increase in boredom, new or returning separation anxiety that is brought on by age, or a response to pain.

How do I stop my dogs destructive behavior?

Put valuable objects away until you're confident that your dog's chewing behavior is restricted to appropriate items. Keep shoes and clothing in a closed closest, dirty laundry in a hamper and books on shelves. Make it easy for your dog to succeed. Provide your dog with plenty of his own toys and inedible chew bones.
