Answer 1

Basic obedience training goes a long way - find someone who uses only positive reinforcement. Keep anything you don't want chewed out of the dog's reach.

Answer 2

Purchase long lasting toy's for him to chew on.l It's a natural occurance.
Get him puppy training in a local pets store or through a trainer.
Make sure you give him enough excerise. I go daily with my poodle through the park for 1/2 miles. Until he get's too tired. Than we turn arround and go home. That would make him not wanting to chew any more.

Answer 3

aah hes just ickle..mayb his teeth are giving him grief, get his toys and alternate them in the freezer over nite..put some in overnite so he has ice cold toys too chew in the day and put some in during the day so he has some to chew at nite..and when u feel they arent cold anymore just pop them back in the freezer.kongs work best but u could try his cuddly toys and rope toys that he has , as the cold will cool his ickle gums down...mayb try filling the kong with cheese spread and chopped bacon BEFORE you freeze as well xx

Answer 4

Has your dog ever been to obedience classes? If not, enroll him soon. He can't learn if you don't teach him, you can't teach him if you don't know how to do that correctly. And I wouldn't wait..you're heading for trouble if you do, as in unmanageable out of control dog because your dog has gotten the idea he's in charge and he doesn't have to listen to you.

Answer 5

he might be teething still. get him some of his own toys that he can play with and chew.and teach him not to bite people.he is still a puppy but teach him that biting is not good.

Answer 6

teach the dog obedience.
