Question

i have a beagle and i think he is teething because he biting and chewing my rugs and some wood. whats the best way for him to stop?

Answer 1

Here's an idea I learned from my breeder that works: Freeze a dampened wash cloth (or small hand towel tied into a knot), and let the dog gnaw on it. The coldness helps relieve teething discomfort and keeps the pup busy. Do supervise, however. You don't want the pup to tear it to shreds and ingest any of it.

Answer 2

Give him something better to chew. Go to the store and get him a large beef shin bone, ask the butcher, also go to the petstore and get him some chew toys. If you can't supervise him, then he needs to be confined where he can't do any damage, such as in a crate or kept on a leash with you (you can attach the leash to your belt and he will learn to walk around with you if he can't already). Catch him in the act of chewing the furnishings and say AHHH NO! in a sharp way. Then take him and redirect him to his chew toy or bone. If you find him chewing the appropriate things, praise him and tell him what a good boy he is. Training is a lifelong thing, not just a once off, they have to continually do it and have it reinforced.

Give him plenty of exercise with you (having him go around on the leash with you will help with that) so he's too tired to get into mischief. Play with him too so that he's not getting bored, some dogs will be destructive if they don't have enough to occupy their minds and if they have insufficient outlets for their energy.

Hi ALEXIS M!
Teething puppies can be very mouthy, chewing on everything they can latch onto. Nylabones and other chew toys are an absolute must for your new teething beagle puppy.

You can also ask your vet for oral cleansing gel to apply topically for control of bacteria and aid in healing injured or sore gums while puppies are teething.

If you catch your puppy chewing something inappropriate, sternly say “NO,” and give your puppy an appropriate chew bone or toy. Praise him when he begins to chew on the appropriate item.

Bitter-tasting liquids are very helpful to apply to your furniture and handy to use on a bandage after a veterinary procedure to keep dogs and puppies from chewing the bandage.

Answer 4

I suggest going down to the pet store and buying a few chew toys. Kong toys are EXCELLENT and are by far the best toy you can get for a dog. They are very strong and last years (as long as you don't lose it!).

When you see him chew on the wood (or rugs, clothes, shoes, etc.), spray him with a water bottle or use a firm 'NO' and replace the thing he is chewing on, with a toy.

Answer 5

Firstly gets lots of chew toys. Nylabones are very good.
The best chew thing you can give him is a flannel that you have wet and then put it in the freezer. You should keep refreezing it every now and then. Dogs love them as they soothe their gums.

Go out and buy him a bone or a chew toy because he not gonna stop. Trust me I have a baby pitbull and she bit on anything she can get a hold of. Let me in on some information after you buy him a chew toy or bone let me know if he stop bitting on things. [e-mail]
