I have a 7 month old dog that likes to chew up every thing is there anything i can do?

Question

is there anything i can give or do to make the dog stop chewing things up

Answer 1

He is just developing. Go and buy him some toys thats are made for teeth developing. that should stop him from chewing,

this happened to me too. :)

Answer 2

Supervision, supervision, supervision, and training.

If you aren't there to watch your dog he needs to be in his crate.

When you are there to watch him, if you see him go for something he shouldn't, tell him NO in a firm tone to stop him. Wait a few seconds and offer him one of his toys. When he takes it praise him lavishly. Also praise him lavishly when you see him chewing on one of his toys on his own. He may stop chewing the toy and come to you, but that's ok, he's gotten the message that you like it when he chews on his toys.

Keep toys to 3 or 4 favorites. A dog with to many toys can start to view everything in reach as his toy.

Exercise. Make sure your dog is getting plenty of exercise. Take some obedience and agility classes. This will exercise your dog mentally and physically and strengthen your bond. Dogs will chew when they are bored, stressed or under exercised as well. Remember a tired dog is a good dog.

I don't recomend deterent sprays. You will literally have to spray everything, and repeatedly as these products do wear off. Also I've met many, many, dogs that actually LOVE the stuff. If they are used, they should be used in addition to supervision and training, not a substitution.

I am lucky I have only ever had one dog chew n that was my Dobermann.
This is what I done & it worked.
I got some Jif lemon (use on pancakes)
put it in a bottle (the ones you use for spraying plants are perfect)
Dogs hate the stuff
I sprayed it on the stuff she kept chewing. every time she went to chew the same thing I sprayed a little more.
If she did not stop chewing I put a little spray (dilute with a little water) on her lip area I did not go up to her I just used the spray from were ever I was sitting. & said No.
She soon got use with if she chewed she got a horrible taste she stopped after a couple of days

Answer 4

properly, it would not look that she is aggressive, this is a robust concern. i could advise hiring a good obedience coach who will come out at your house of living that may assist you to settle her down. there is often somebody who can settle a hyper energetic dogs down. have you ever watched Animal Planet's "this is the dogs or me", or "Barking Mad"? They continuously have the canines experienced in a remember of days. even if this is as much as the owner to maintain up with the preparation in case you do no longer elect the undesirable behavior to come again lower back. The barking may well be dealt with by employing employing a barking collar. and that i do no longer advise those that zap them with an electric powered cutting-edge. I advise those that sprays a mist of their face, that they are able to't stand the scent of, each time they bark. That wll ultimately stop the barking. no longer basically do they get to sniff a foul scent, yet get to have a foul flavor of their mouths. does no longer you stop barking for that? And the chewing stuff... bitter Apple Spray. Spray something that she could chew on. they are able to't stand the scent or flavor. I had a pair canines of the comparable breed as yours. They have been super canines. they had bright black fur. A brother and sister. I omit them. Now the pulling like she's attempting to take off, while on the chain, i'm uncertain approximately that one. you will ought to ask the instructor approximately that. good success.

Answer 5

The make a bitter apple spray that you can put on stuff that the dog likes to chew i.e. shoes, furniture, etc.

Answer 6

My puppy did the same thing...she actually slowly ate the bottom shelf out of our microwave cart! She liked the taste of the bitter apple spray, and licked it off everything!

Our vet recommended using a spray of diluted Tabasco. It was finally the one thing that worked!

I wrote an article about my experience here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/125680/how_to_stop_your_dog_from_chewing_on.html

Answer 7

I know how to solve this problem­¬
Break your dog's teeth with stone and he will not chewing anymore.
