It's a new "toy" for him....try bitter apple spray, or keep an eye on him and tell him NO when he goes near it.

thinking the certainty you probably did no longer practice them to no longer bite up element's while domestic canines, what do you assume. lots greater handy to coach something while younge, until now undesirable behavior like this are left to be proper via proprietor's. take it sluggish and make an excellent, every day attempt with each and each dogs and that's available nonetheless. artwork with one dogs at a time, on my own and faraway from the different canines. flow approximately your commonly used corporation, yet keeping an intensive eye on the dogs. The very 2nd it starts to bite something different than a toy, say an employer NO and clap your palms, as quickly as. Say it, do no longer scream - YOU be on top of issues. If the dogs stops, tell him cheerfully;good Boy! If he does not end, NO and clap one greater time, that doesn't end him then you particularly might desire to attempt a twig bottle of water on him, with the business enterprise NO. in basic terms artwork with each and each dogs for afew mintues, quite a few circumstances according to day. After each and each dogs has the assumption of NO, then enable them to all be jointly for the period of a few 5 minute team trainings. you're able to additionally practice the hardship-unfastened instructions of sit down/come/heal/stay.

It's something new for him, also it's the smell of the leather. It is animal skin and his chews are made of the same material. In dog world there is no difference. Keep him out of that room when you're not in it and consistently punish him when he does start chewing while you're there. As time goes by he'll realize the difference.

this is a problem with some dogs. and it started by giving the dog raw hide bones to chew on. and they know leather ,even if it is a chair. when any one have leather furniture and give their dogs raw hide bones then you get this behavior. l never gave my dog a raw hide bone because l was afraid the would get a small piece off and get it stuck in their thoat. and my leather chair and otterman is still like new. so that is why your dog is doing this now. and l would say to get some spray and that will help.

Okay one thing dogs love to chew is LEATHER!
I don't know why but they do, i think it's cuz it feels good on their teeth. You should try to put hot souse on the sofa and once he tastes it he'll never want to chew it again. mark my word!:)
