Stop Puppy Chewing

Stop Puppy Chewing

By:


Chewing for puppies is very natural. They are getting new teeth and are much like children teething with the exception that children do not ruin your shoes or furniture.

Why to Stop Puppy Chewing

Most people, if a puppy is young, will let them chew on whatever they want. This is not ok. Dont get angry at them. Only show that biting on the furniture is not ok. Give them a chew toy to attack.

How to Stop Puppy Chewing
Try not to get frustrated with the puppy. Dont scream or hit him. This will confuse more as he doesnt understand hes done wrong.

Behaviour Adjustment Dont scream at your puppy for chewing on things. Instead, show him what he can chew on, and give him praise if he chooses the alternative.

Keep Your Puppy Busy Dont give them the chance to chew. Dont let them get bored. Be sure to give them plenty of exercise. Maybe theyll be too tired to chew on your favourite sneakers.

Crate Training Try crate training, or maybe keeping them in a single room when you are away. They will be less likely to get into trouble.

Aversion Sprays There are sprays you can spray on the furniture, the carpet, and even your shoes. The puppy will quickly associate biting these things with the bad taste and chew something else.

Chewing for puppies is very natural. Just dont let your puppy bite your fingers. When your puppy is no longer a puppy, he will continue to nip at your fingers, and it will not be cute.
Being Consistent

Always be consistent. Dont let him chew on shoes even if you are planning to throw them out. Then you cannot expect him to know he is not to chew on your other shoes. Makes the rules clear to him and dont confuse him.
