One good way is reward the good behavior and correcting the bad. If you dog is chewing your pillows for example, they do make a spray for animals that wont' harm them most pet's shops carry them, Even with this you must train the dog to stop the behavior by given him a toy to chew when he go's for the pillows after he plays with the toy for a minute then give he a treat. continue this until he stops the behavior. Follow that though out in what else he's chewing up that you don't want him to chew up. This will take time and patience. There are know bad dogs Just bad behavior. There are video on how to train your dog and also on Animal Plant there is a program on that's called Good dog Bad Dogs Well good luck

Please don't give your dog old socks! He will learn the smell and eventually start chewing on your new socks and shoes. You want the dog to know that it is only ok to chew on his own toys. If this dog is a puppy. Try not to give him too many toys that way he will learn "his toy". There is also a bitter apple product that is safe for dogs and can be bought at most stores. Just spray it on the things that he is not suppose to chew on. When you do catching him chewing on your things give him a sharp "no" and then give him one of his toys.

well if ur dog does it again all u have to do is put the thing infront of his mouth if it tries to bite it hit it's nose not hard but not tooo soft just medium...and u have to keep the chew up things infront of it and if it trys to do it again remember tap his nose and say firmly NO or BAD DOG u have to show it tough love...plus give it a chew toy to reward your dog if it stops chewing things that should not be chewed...

Get him a toy and maybe some rawhide. ( if you give your dog rawhide watch that he doesn't choke I take it away when it gets small) Take him to what he chewed and tell him its bad in a stern voice and then give him his toy. If you stay on top of this he should get it that you want him to chew on his stuff. If not you may need to crate him ecspecially if he chews stuff up when your gone because he is having separation anxiety.

How many times a day do you walk him? At least twice?
Does he have chew toys of his own? Do you pay enough
attention to him? And what types of things is he chewing up?
Also what type of food do you feed him, he might be
missing something in his diet.

I found that if there is plenty of chew toys around, my puppy will go for them instead of other things. Be sure to correct him (gently) when he does chew on your things and then give him/her one of the toys.
