Many office workers who keep pets have to leave their dogs at home during the day. Will the dogs get bored in their own homes? What do dogs do when they are bored? Let’s take a look with the editor.
When it's bored, it just runs around or sleeps, looking for things everywhere.
My brother and the others bought a few monitoring devices before they went on a trip (there was a burglary after their family went on a trip before, and this time they are more vigilant), so I can observe the situation in his home through monitoring, and at the same time, I can
My brother and the others usually go home after 4 o'clock, so before this time, the puppies were lying on the sofa and sleeping.
After 6 o'clock, the puppy found that the family hadn't come back, and became nervous, running around the sofa and in front of the door constantly.
After 7 o'clock, the puppy obviously felt that something was wrong, and no one came back, so he started whining (monitoring tape MIC)
After 10 o'clock, the puppy is estimated to be about to collapse, barking even more, and has been barking non-stop...
Around 11 o'clock, it ran to the balcony to scold the dog next door...............
I got up around 1 o'clock and found that I couldn't find him. I guess he fell asleep.
Looked at around 7am the next morning and found that he started running around the house
Then he kept running around until about 6pm and started whining again
Then I turned on the monitor's loudspeaker, called it, and it started to flick its tail excitedly, and kept looking for where the sound was.
He didn't bark for a while since he heard my voice because he thought there was someone in the house.
So at this time, it should be starting to be afraid again.
Then, it continued to bark for another night...
Early in the morning of the third day (forgive me, in fact, I originally thought that if there were no unknown people entering, I would not be able to pass. But that day suddenly all the monitoring equipment could not see the picture, for security reasons, I went over to check what was going on.
After playing with it for a while and leaving, the guy starts howling restlessly again......then, continue the above process......
Since this answer has been upvoted so much, let me add one more thing:
Under the surveillance screen of my home, my dog has been sleeping there, lying still when there is no one at home during the day.
When there are people at home, when no one is playing with it, it will do some things that make you beat and scold it.
For example, I don't allow it to go to the trash can. As long as it turns the trash can, I will definitely hit it (although I think this is very bad, but I have tried other methods, and it will only make it worse).
Also, he ran to the toilet to drink water. The situation was similar. Although he had water in the basin, he knew that going to the toilet to drink water would be scolded by me.
These behaviors of my dog, I don't know if it means that the dog wants to attract attention and let people play with it when it is bored.
Additional:
Someone asked about surveillance. The surveillance cameras at my brother's house were bought before the trip, because there have been burglaries in the past after the whole family went on a trip.
The surveillance at my home was purely because I was curious after watching my brother's trip, and bought it to play.
Does dogs get bored at home by themselves?
The answer is yes.
Then what we should know when we go out and leave the dog alone:
1. When the owner goes out for more than 30 minutes, the dog's stress index reaches its peak. When the dog notices that the owner is wearing shoes and saying goodbye to himself, its heartbeat, breathing rate, and stress hormones will increase, and emotionally.
2. Not every dog will feel lonely and sad when left home alone, but it doesn't mean that every dog will feel sad and lonely when left home alone. Some dogs will just eat and sleep without caring.
3. Raising one more dog does not necessarily reduce its loneliness. Some owners think that having one more dog or cat can help them accompany each other and relieve their loneliness, but this is not necessarily true!
If the two dogs have different personalities or compete for territory, it will have the opposite effect and make their anxiety aggravate!
4. Cultivate its independence from an early age. The period when a dog learns to socialize is at the stage of 3 to 14 weeks of birth. If the owner wants to cultivate its independence, he can lengthen the time he spends at home alone during this period, or increase
Because it is still young at this time, the owner still can't leave it at home for several days~
5. Help him prepare a "safety baby box". What can be done to reduce the dog's anxiety at home alone? Owners can help the dog prepare a "safety baby box", which is full of toys that he likes, or
Therefore, dog owners, you can exercise your dog more in your daily life, so that you can feel at ease when you go out next time.
