Why does a dog destroy everything around him when he is left alone in the apartment: it is definitely not revenge on the owner

Many dog owners are familiar with the following picture: after returning to the apartment, the eye is struck by the mess, the “author” of which was the pet.

Some four-legged friends actually have a habit that has unpleasant consequences for people.

A dog that is left alone in the house for a while begins to chew on everything and throw things off the shelves.

A person returning home often sees scattered and damaged items.

The pet owner may think that the animal simply took revenge on him. But this is a mistaken impression.

Why does the dog behave like this?

Yes, the pet certainly doesn't like being left alone.

However, the animal begins to create chaos not at all out of a desire to take revenge on the person who “abandoned” it.

In fact, in this case the dog is not angry at all. But fear may well appear.

Oddly enough, a situation such as loneliness is stressful for a pet.

Your four-legged friend may begin to do things that he was afraid to do in a normal environment.

The pet is worried about itself. But more about the people who are raising it: who knows what happened to them... Hence the strange behavior.

To ensure that temporary loneliness never becomes a scary situation for a dog, it should get used to being left alone in a closed apartment from an early age.
