You will unlearn the dog’s bad habits. But only with your own discipline
Unfortunately, in addition to disturbing the masters by clapping loudly, this bad habit carries another risk. Excessive licking of paws can lead to irritation, itching, and a moist environment is an ideal breeding ground for a yeast infection.

We can also include bad habits jumping on a person. Experts agree that they are remnants of almost prehistoric behavior, when dogs still lived without humans. With wolves, we can still observe how wolf cubs jump up to their mother and lick her mouth in anticipation of food. Veterinarians from the Hanzlík and Křeček Small Animal Clinic in Děčín advise how to unlearn a dog from jumping, which is often accompanied by barking, whining and loss of urine.
“We can try using a tin of coins. Such rattling hurts our ears, let alone the dog’s, they explain. “We place the can near the entrance door and at the moment when the dog jumps up, we shake it with full force and command Nesmíš! Next time, the dog will pay close attention to who is holding the unpleasant thing and who it should not jump on,” the veterinarians add to the training process.
Greed and beggary must be tamed vigorously
But perhaps most often, bad habits are connected with eating habits. Dog rage has a wide repertoire in this respect. A dog’s favorite pastime is exploring the trash can. In addition to making a mess of my works, eating junk can make his stomach upset. Even worse consequences can be caused by contact with garbage around garbage cans outside or just strewn in nature.
Prevention is important in this respect. “Teach her to respond to the command yuck from a puppy by turning her head away from the found object. If you are quick and consistent enough when giving great rewards for a job well done, you won’t have to chase the dog later and pull catches from his mouth,” advises veterinarian and author of many titles on dog training Hana Žertová.
In addition to garbage, we can also encounter a penchant for eating excrement. A dog that has these tendencies should be constantly monitored by the owner on walks and, if necessary, call the dog to him and give him his own treat as a substitute for the odorless mls.

A great fondness for food often leads dogs to beg when people around are eating. They poke their noses into their knees, whine, force the attention of diners, or lean against the table. Or straight up stealing sliced meat from the kitchen cabinet.
The basis for unlearning the bad habit this time is in the discipline of the owners. Consequently, the dog must not improve anything from the plates during consumption, nor give him the remains of human food afterwards. The rule that the dog eats should also be observed only from your bowl and at the given time. “When the dog starts barking, ignore him at all and send him to his place. Also, don’t talk to the dog in a kind tone, I’ll think that if he looks like that, it’s okay and he’ll continue to do so,” explains dog nutrition expert Martin Pučálka.
Human vices
Not only dogs are prone to mischief. A large number of owners suffer from bad habits towards their pets. Neglected is among the most common dental care. “A large proportion of owners do not check their dog’s teeth at all, let alone actively clean their dogs’ teeth. Regular oral hygiene is a way to prevent inflammation or tartar deposits, which are difficult to remove from the teeth,” says veterinarian Jiří Žák. At the same time, the removal of tartar cannot be done without anesthesia.
A person often messes up a dog’s eating habits by not giving the dog food in the same amount and at the same time. Irregularity has a negative impact on digestion.
Mischief can also be caused by overfeeding or straight feeding with something from the human diet or by giving a large number of treats.
