How to get your beagle to stop chewing everything?

Question

he is chewing everything he gets his teeth on!

Answer 1

Chewing

Chewing is natural, and dogs get a lot of fun and satisfaction from doing it. Dogs quickly learn what is and isn't appropriate for them tot chew. So it's rarely a mistake when an adult dog rips up a pair of loafers or chews up a magazine, says Suzanne B. Johnson, Ph.D., an animal behaviorist in private practice in Washington, D.C. Chewing usually means they're anxious or bored. It can also mean that they have too much energy and aren't getting enough exercise to dispel it.

Beagle Chewing

Answer 3

My beagle is 2yrs old and she still chews on lots of stuff can't break the habit I just try to keep the things she likes most out of her reach and it does seem to get better as they get older although just last week I forgot to shut the bathroom door and she chewed up all my paper products we also and this sounds horribly mean I know but we used a shock collar to keep her from running away we only used it for a short time and it worked unbelievably well tho we didn't use it for chewing but it might work good luck beagles can be a handful but they make up for all their naughty behavior in other ways I have had many dogs in my life and she is quite possibly the smartest sweetest lil fatty in the world

Answer 4

I have 3 beagles. The youngest beagle, is about 2 years of age, and he chews on everything! Here is the enjoyable list of what Ramius (Ray-Ray) has destroyed! Linoleum flooring, carpeting, carpet padding, transition strips, wood trim, actually wood anything. cabinet doors, plastic bags(in said cabinet), almost all of my wife's socks, sheets, pillows, comforters, yes more than one, and wood bed frames, shoes, more shoes, dog padding, plastic water dishes, and paint rollers, boots, and tables. Now before you say anything, Ray-Ray has bones, chew toys, ropes to chew on. We give him treats ALL the time. We have tried to train, scold, and get him to understand not to chew on all this. No problem with the other 2. Chew on that.
Nothing seems to work so we were forced to put him in a cage during the day when we are at work. Something I didn't want to do, but we couldn't afford not too.

Answer 5

When you are not home, she should be safely contained within a crate. It may seem cruel, as I am sure she will not enjoy it. But next time, what if she chews an electrical wire? She may also need more exercise. Beagles are a high energy breed of dog, and if they are not properly exercised, they do tend to get bored and chew things

Answer 6

Hmm. My beagle never was much of a chewer. But I have a lab mix who demolished a beanbag when she was teething.

It helps if you give him one of his toys every time you catch him chewing something he's not supposed to, and tell him he's a good boy for chewing the toy, that way he learns what he can chew on.

If he's teething, you can get stuffed canvas toys, wet them, and freeze them, and that will be very appealing to him, more so than your shoe.

Answer 7

Try getting some chew toys for him. Put stuff up out of his reach if he does like to chew on it and if he does chew on something tell him no and give him a toy to chew on. Even try getting a small kong and stuffing treats in it.

Answer 8

Get him a chewing bone. Everytime he starts to chew on your stuff, scold him and give him the chewing bone. Maybe a treat for being good each time he stops.

Answer 9

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/onlinedogtraining

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.
