Abstract:

This paper explores the causes and manifestations of destructive behavior in dogs, emphasizing behavioral disorders such as separation anxiety, redirected activities, vacuum activities, and stereotypies. We discuss how improper environmental conditions and unmet biological needs contribute to destructive chewing, excessive digging, and self-harm. The paper provides evidence-based strategies for prevention and behavior modification, including interactive toys, desensitization techniques, and environmental enrichment. Additionally, the role of behavioral therapy and unconventional methods such as Reiki and homeopathy is examined. This study highlights the importance of owner education in reducing destructive behaviors in domestic dogs.
