The dog’s instinct is to go through the garbage can to find food is also an instinctive drive. Usually there is always some leftover food in the trash. It is also instinctive for dogs to find the source of the scent and then knock over the trash can or chew on the trash bag to look for food. Dogs living in the wild they will often go through the garbage, because here you can find some hungry food.
Dogs are playful, curious dogs actually do not know that the garbage can is not to turn over, it may think that it is a toy tube it. Sometimes puppies go through garbage cans just for fun, knocking them over and rolling them around. Puppies are curious and will enjoy flipping the trash can and playing with it. In addition, dogs have a very keen sense of smell and are easily stimulated by smells in life, and the smell in the garbage can is generally “rich and varied”, which leads dogs to look and rummage curiously.
Dogs that are too bored to live alone at home will look through the garbage can. In fact, they are not particularly fond of garbage, but a long time no one at home is too bored, want to do some of the usual master surveillance can not do things.
Dogs like to smell things to know that the things in the garbage are quite tempting to dogs, even more than the special dog toys you buy for them. Because dogs like things that smell, throw away things with a strong smell. The shredded paper and plastic chewed taste is also good, and turn down and turn, you may also find some scented plastic bags and delicious bones, this is not a garbage can ah, simply a treasure bowl!
Dogs lack trace elements careful parents may find their dogs not only like to turn over the garbage can, but also like to chew garbage, such as: garbage cans of waste paper towels, plastic bags, or some of the smell of household garbage, and even eat dirt and sand or lick the wall, chew grass and other behavior. Then you need to pay attention, this is the dog lack of trace elements performance. Dogs need a lot of trace elements in the body, such as: potassium, sodium, zinc, magnesium, iodine, manganese, cobalt, selenium and so on. For example, zinc plays a role in regulating the dog’s sense of taste, when the dog lacks this trace element, there will be a delayed sense of taste, resulting in the dog does not know that the taste of some dirt, sand and other things are actually very difficult to eat.
