My Puppy keeps chewing in the wood in the house, coffee table, chairs, stairs, wall.
How do I get her to stop. When I give her a bone my other dog keeps taking them away and chewing them up in seconds.
The Puppy is a Boston Terrie (12lbs)
My older dog is a Rottweiler ( 130lbs) so it is hard to stop him from taking the bones he will find a way.

If you don't have a crate for your young dog, you need to get one. As you've experienced, a puppy can't tell the difference between "good stuff to chew" and "everything else" and it's exhausting and frustrating to constantly have to race after the dog saying "No! NOOO!!!!"
Solution : a crate. Make the crate a wonderful place to be : feed him in there, give him his chewies in there so that he can have them uninterruptedly. Puppies need to chew, and it's up to you to provide him with the right things (and to keep the Rottie from taking them!)
A crate is not a punishment UNLESS it's abused by you. It will help you to potty train your dog, and will keep him safe from chewing things that he shouldn't. Dogs can and do die from chewing on electrical cords, among other things - what a horror to have that happen to a pup when it could have been easily prevented.

Ok. So if it has something that it loves to chew on, this is a good thing, in a way. Have a bunch of small treats ready, and put that object in front of her. If she goes toward it, correct her, and when she is doing what you want, give her a treat. You could aslso incorporate the command "leave it" or something along those lines.
Also, make sure that you devote at least half an hour to a good long walk with her every day. She might be very restless and has no way of getting the energy out, so she takes it out on other things with her mouth.
Another tip: watch the TV show "Dog Whisperer" on National Geographic Channel. (im not sure exactly when) This will really give you al LOT of tips on how to help your dog behave better.
I hope I could help a little!
