How do I get my dog to stop wrecking the screens in the windows?

When I am not home and forget to shut the windows before I go to work my dog will see something outside and then wreck the screens and blinds. I know I know my bf says shoot them but he is just joking. I love them they are my suckies so I am not getting of them, just I need some suggesions.

I had the same problem (but the windows are always closed) I got tired of replacing the screens so I just removed them.

Get some green apple spray, or some other bite deterrent spray at a pet store and spray it on the windows to try to stop him. Most of those sprays are really sour smelling and dogs have very sensitive noses, so it might make him stay away from the windows. Other than that, just spank him gently (make more noise than pain, so you scare him but don't hurt him) whenever you see him doing it. And I don't mean to abuse him, so don't bite my head off, people! Good Luck!

put kiddie gates up in the window frames

You need to find intersection with your dog. You and the dog have common interests, but they don't seem to correspond on this particular issue. You won't get intersection until you can both communicate authentically - really listening to each other - instead of from sincerity - talking but not understanding.Since he's a dog, I doubt you'll get very far.

Good old training needs to be done, when you are home, put some Tincans in a Plasticbag and rattle that , accompanied with a stern : NO,when he/she does something you dont wont her to do. Hope this will help.

My dog pushed on my screens and I had to put the kitchen chairs in front of the window so he couldn't get in there, but if i wanted to keep him from messing them up for sure I had to keep them closed.

well your best bet is to get a doogy door and take the to obbidient school. and if you catch them in the act tap them on the nose for disipline. its very important that you do not hit your dogs or any other pet. they need to know that they did somthing wrong, but abuse is not the answer. make sure you dont touch their nose if you tap them on the nose for disipline, it'll confuse them. goodluck

I don't know, but I have the same problem with cats, and I can't close the windows because I don't have air conditioning.
