Some dogs have bad habits of pica, such as eating garbage randomly, turning over kitchen food randomly, biting books and newspapers... If your dog has pica, you can take the following methods to treat it:

1. First, it is recommended to take the dog for a check-up to make sure that the dog is not caused by the disease. If it is caused by a disease, seek medical attention as soon as possible; if the dog is in normal health, it is because of naughty or boring, you can start the next step.

2. Carefully observe which items the dog is interested in and swallowed, and then spread irritating items on these foods, such as pepper, chili powder, etc. And put food coated with irritants in a place where the dog is easily discovered. Once the dog swallows the different food, it will feel spicy and uncomfortable. After repeated several times, the dog's pica can be terminated.

3. The mousetrap correction method is to turn the mousetrap inverted. Put it near different food. When the dog approaches different food and tries to take it, it touches the mousetrap. Under the action of the spring, the mousetrap bounces and makes a crackling sound. This sudden sound and bounce will scare the dog away. After repeated several times, the dog's pica can be terminated. (However, dog owners must pay attention to safety and do not really clamp the dog)

4. Water gun punishment method, that is, when the dog swallows different food, spray it with a water gun. After repeated several times, the purpose of training and correction can also be achieved.

In addition, dogs have pica, which is often caused by lack of nutrients in their bodies. Therefore, dog owners should properly match their dog's diet in daily life to ensure that the dog's vitamins and trace elements are balanced, so that the dog will not easily eat other foods.
