How do you train your dog to stop chewing on thing?

Answer 1

When it starts chewing, taking it away from the object and firmly say 'NO'. This works on my dogs.

Answer 2

you can't train a dog to stop chewing on things. It's an instinct thing... they have to chew. You CAN however train a dog to chew on certain things and leave other things alone.

Dogs chew on inappropriate things usually because they are bored so... solution... get more toys and put away the inappropriate items. Kong toys are a miracle. Fill w/ dog treats or peanut butter and it'll keep fido occupied for hours.

IF you catch him chewing on something he's not supposed to chew either spritz him w/ some water from a spray bottle or rattle a can filled w/ pennies and in a low firm voice say "leave it". Then offer something appropriate for him to chew on and praise him. He'll get the clue eventually.

Answer 3

First off, you have to catch him in the act. It's pointless to come home, find your good stillettos chewed, and start yelling, he'll be excited to have you walk thru the door, then think, why is my master yelling. Second,, when you catch him, remove the item, and firmly say no. If he's puppy stage, well that's par for the course, he's teething, and like a baby, the chewing helps with anxiety and pressure in the gums. Some things are likely just going to have to be let go during this training period, face it, lol.

Be sure to purchase appropriate toys for your pet. Also, see things from his side, he's on the lower ground, and anything at his height might be considered a plaything. Remove all suspected items, and keep a clean, uncluttered area. Give him a space of his own also, that he can freely call his own, perhaps a crate with playthings.

Be patient, and diligent mostly. Whatever you learned, you had to have it repeated several times to sink in,, you're pet is the same way. Be consistent! Praise and play with the items that are chewtoys so that an association can be established. Good behavior is learned behavior.

All else fails, many petshops have an Apple Flavored Spray that is very bitter for canines. You can individually spray items that you feel he's found a liking to, but just as best to remove them. Hope these ideas work for you. My best!

Chewing is a very natural behavior for dogs and more than not they do it to relieve stress, tension, or extra energy. A lot of dog behavior is very normal to them but upsetting to us. We need to train them to what we want and then always reinforce that, once you stop they revert back. Make sure your dog is getting plenty of exercise and attention. Also make sure he has plenty of things he can chew on, like toys, bones and other chews ( anything more enticing than you stuff). There are sprays you can buy at the pet store and it will leave an awful taste in their mouth, it helps reinforce that the dogs does not want to chew on those items. There is Bitter Apple and Natures Miracle, they are both great products and do not hurt the dog your things. A lot of the times the dog knows that it is wrong but he also knows it will get your attention. Like kids who do not get enough attention some times even negative attention is good attention. My dog is the perfect example, if I have not given him his morning walk and spent time with him I know I need to crate him, if I leave because he will throw a tantrum and chew whatever he can. If he has been given attention and exercise that day I can let him be free in the house he does not feel the need to get my attention. It is the same if I am home and ignoring him he will find something he knows will get my attention, he will show me he has it then take off. He knows he is bad but he will get what he wants, I will chase him ( playing to him) and he now has my undivided attention. Most dogs do not chew the whole time you are gone its right before you come home. So make sure your dog has plenty of exercise and time with you and get him plenty of chews. The Kong Toys are great and so are the all natural tendons and bully sticks. The bully sticks last for awhile at least a day.

Answer 5

Your dogs is a three hundred and sixty 5 days old so he has his man or woman tooth. you're going to ought to finish slightly practise. there is not any way round it. Your dogs would not understand what he can and would no longer chew. you need to coach him. replacing issues he's gotten with some thing he's permitted to have is a unprecedented thanks to coach him. shop each and every thing you do not elect him to have up and out of his attain (evaluate the actual undeniable actuality that he can upward push on 2 legs to achieve some thing too). shop what you could in a separate room and shop him from that room. shop him with you in any respect cases. Leash him to you once you're abode so that you already know even as he's entering into some thing he's not any longer allowed and evaluate crate practise, and crate him once you aren't to any extent further abode. you won't be able to get mad at your dogs for having issues he's not any longer allowed to have. you also won't be able to assume him to right away understand the version between what's toys and what's your stuff. better excerise can help besides. A drained dogs is a properly behaved, non-bored, chuffed dogs.

Answer 6

The very best thing on the market is "BITTER APPLE". It is a squirt/spray liquid in a bottle. You can get it at the vets office. One bottle will totally last for the pets lifetime. It fixed the problem of our puppies chewing on wood work, legs of the table, wallpaper. Try it. You won't be disappointed. Give them Pig Ears. Pups and dogs love them, even if they are picky eatters.

Answer 7

Give him something else to chew on. Keep the thing you don't want him to chew on out of reach but he needs something else in its place. It might be boredom, maybe what he needs is to go for walks or play or get trained a little.

Answer 8

keep everything you don't want chewed on out of reach. Otherwise, make sure they have [plenty to chew on and Bitty apple and Bitter yuck work wonderful. it is a spray that doesn't taste good and deters teh dog from chewing. sometimes you need to reapply to certaint hings.
Be sure to wash your hands after spraying it. It does taste nasty to humans too. Found out the hard way.

Answer 9

We always rubbed the dogs nose in whatever she chewed so she knew what she was getting in trouble for. We also gave some things she can chew on so she won't be tempted.

Answer 10

time and patience. Make sure they have bones and toys of their own for them to chew on and if you catch them with something of yours, tell them no, and then give them what they can chew on. But.. I'm a firm believer to not let your dog roam the whole house because you don't know what they are doing. Just like kids, they need boundries. Be CONSISTANT and firm.. but fair and loving. Play with them using their toys. Never even joke about playing around with a towel or a sock because it will confuse them.
