My new puppy loves chewing everything. Shoes, furniture, even me and my family. I think this is just a phase, but the sooner she is over it, the better. Any advice?

Say ''No'' to things she shouldn't chew and take them away. Give her one or two items that she will be allowed to chew and when she does say ''Good girl''. Make sure you buy things for her to chew. People will give old shoes to dogs and then get pissed off when the dog chews on a good shoe (like she knows the difference!).

I would just give the dog some chew bones and well if nothing else works I would put a mussel on it when it chews something and show him what he chewed and say bad dog. it helped my dogs.

Get him something he's allowed to chew on, like a rubber bone etc. When he chews on something he's not allowed to, pull him away from it and give him fairly loud, stern "No!". Over time, you'll be able to train him as to what he is and isn't allowed to chew on.

I would get her a chew toy special for teething. I would also get that spray that you spray on stuff to make it taste really bad. Just spray it on whatever she chews. Hope I helped!

My 5 month puppy nevertheless does that. some canine take a whilst and a few does can take no longer long in any respect. it surely relies upon on the breed. vast canine now and lower back end teething swifter than smaller canine.

Ask it nicely to stop. If it doesn't, employ a system of punishments. You could try stopping its pocket money, putting a curfew on it, or cutting its priveleges such as TV or Playstation access.

Buy him a biting toy, this act is meant to release stress from his system.
