How do i stop my dog?

Question

How do i stop my 1month puppies?
They are golden jindos. (Golden retreiver and Jindo mix)
We know that they are teething but they do not chew on the chew toys we got them.
We've already tried tapping on their noses and saying "no".
Please help.


Also...
Does anyone know any emergency vets in Saratoga, California?

I forgot to say that they are chewing......
The breeders said they were around one month when we got them.

Answer 1

A one month old puppy is a BABY. They NEED to chew. There is not much you can do except provide alternative things for them to chew on. It is normal and natural for them to chew at this age.
You can use a product called "biter lemon" that you spray on furniture and other things you don't want them to chew. It is not harmful; it just tastes bad.
Not sure how close this is to you but there is a great animal ER in Palo Alto:

Answer 2

One month is way too young for a puppy to begin chewing, they are mostly nursing at this time and the mother will begin spending less and less time away from them. (They shouldn't be weaned by now.) They also shouldn't be chewing too much if they are only 3-4 weeks old... (a month) However you didnt explain why you tapped them on the nose so I am assuming it was for chewing, and at such a young age, they can't comprehend disipline and hence you shouldn't deliver it. Your best bet is to get a room, such as a laundry room or bathroom with NOTHING to chew on and keep them there. (Laundry rooms get hot so be careful!) If they are 1 month old they should just begin to start eating dog food and it would be wise to put up a gate into the bathroom so the mother can escape from the puppies and while she is away (regulating their feeding sessions and preparing them for weaning) try giving them lots of puppy chow, or wet puppy chow in the cans. If they won't eat yet, try condensed milk over it, NEVER give them dairy milk.

If you catch them chewing, simply pick them up, and move them away from the object. Repeatedly. ^_^ It should work after the 5th try.

Answer 3

First of all, are you sure that your puppies are only one month old? Most puppies do not have enough teeth at one month to make a difference with chewing.

Regardless, puppies teeth a great deal until it starts slowing sown around 7-8 months old. I believe the simplest way to keep your dogs from chewing unwanted items is to buy some spray called bitter apple. You can spray it on just about anything, and it will deter the puppies' chewing. You can get this spray at almost any pet store.

Just had to post a response! NEVER RUB YOUR DOGS NOSE IN URINE OR POOP!! Weather it works for some people or not is it BAD for your dogs health and mental state! It gets in their sinus cavity and can cause SEVERE infections!! They also don't understand why your shoving their faces in crap where they can't breath! It just makes them afraid of you! Some breeds will shy away from their owners and some may even learn to hate their owners and bite! Good lord people! Dont tell folks to do that!

As for chewing...pups are like babies. They are teething and it hurts. If you catch them chewing on something they aren't suppose to.... take it away .....give a firm NO and replace it with something they can chew. Also there is a spray called "Bitter Apple" you can purchase at your local pet store that tastes nasty to a dog. Purchase some and spray it on what they are chewing.

Good Luck!!

Answer 5

You could try buying a Kong toy and filling it with peanut butter. The flavour of the peanut butter might keep them interested in the toy instead of your things. Remember though to buy the Kong for puppies. Also, keep your shoes out of their reach. They like to chew on them because it has your scent and they feel close to you. Another thing is to keep them as active as possible so they are tired and don't have the energy to chew. Good luck!

Answer 6

They are teething, they need something soft to chew on. And old towel or a soft dog toy. It's just like a baby their teeth are growing in and it hurts, the other thing that feels good is chewing on something. It's good that you are teaching them what is the right thing to chew on that'll be much easier training them when they get older.

Answer 7

Your question doesn't make any sense. One month old puppies should not even be separated from their mother yet but you say you got them from a breeder? They are TOO YOUNG for chew toys.

Answer 8

There's spray you can buy at your local petshops to stop pups from biting and chewing things. They're too young for chew toys but make sure you take the time to play with them with the toys....they'll get the hang of it.

Answer 9

Don't worry about it, they will grow out of it in 5-6 years. In the mean time, keep anything you don't want chewed out of their reach and make sure they have chew toys of their own.

Answer 10

It is natural for dogs to chew. give them sticks or play rope to chew on and put them somewhere they can't chew things they are not supposed to. My one dog chewed on my rose bushes.He did not seem to mind. He did chew down a willow tree but it is now 14' tall.
