How can I get my dog to stop an annoying behavior?
Little background, I have one dog and I live with a room mate who has two dogs. One of her dog's has developed a terribly annoying behavior of going to my room just to scratch/chew himself. With it being shedding season I very much do not want him doing this. He will go directly behind my fan to do this, spreading his hair literally everywhere. Or if the door is shut he will go in front of it and lay up against it to scratch, shaking the door. All times of the day and night. I've tried just telling him to go or stop, but he will not listen. Unless I nudge him, he will just keep going. She will not discipline her dog in anyway and I certainly don't feel comfortable doing that since he isn't mine. Is there anyway humane way I can deter him from my room? I thought about getting a spray bottle with water just to get him to stop but not sure if that will work in the long run. Any help or advice is very much appreciated.
I would suggest telling the owner to get a vet check for the dog. However, for you you can always block your door way or get some of the puppy biting spray and spray around your door and it may deter the dog from going to your room.
