I was wondering if you play rough with your pup??? Puppies need boundaries. The only play she should be doing with you is fetch and maybe holding a chew toy in your hand for her to attack. Also, if she is not kennel trained, please do so. It provides for a safe soothing environment and she will learn to go there if she gets too excited and needs a time out. Bitter apple sprays are good for furniture and stuff you don't want her to chew on. Don't giver her an opportunity to use your hand as a chew toy, she may bite someone when she is older. She will only outgrow the behavior when you make her stop the behavior. Get a whistle and use it with the "no" command. Blow the whistle twice and quietly, say no. Be strong but quiet when you say it. And when she is stunned, praise her with "good girl" and give her a piece of a treat. You keep at it, and in no time, you will have an obedient puppy. Remember, you need to create the behavior you want her to follow and be persistent.

Nylabone has my full support! My puppies favorite kind of nylabone was a dino. They carry them at all the larger pet stores. You could also get him one that is a softer kind of nylabone. (they look more clear to distinguish the softer kind between the regular kind.) The only problem is with the softer kind, they can only be used until they are 5 or 6 months because the are not strong enough for older dogs. You could also try a Kong. They are more expensive, but last forever!!! If you just look through the toy aisle in Petco or Petsmart you will be sure to find both kinds. Plus these brands a very safe. They are even approved for use for Guide Dogs for the Blinds dogs.

A chew toy is appropriate for all sized dogs the only thing is make sure they're big enough where he won't choke yet small enough where he can have his way with it.
