Destructive Chewing In Puppies

 


Dogs in general, and even puppies are fond of chewing things. For them chewing a doggie toy or your favorite shoes makes no difference. A lot of damage happens when a new dog is left at home without being trained on which items are acceptable for chewing. For puppies, the act of chewing is a coping mechanism for their teething as they grow, apart from their sort of exploration.

You could say it is a rite of passage for new pup owners to have some item/s like a phone charger or a scarf being torn and/or broken as your dog goes on a chewing rampage. Like potty training, it is important to train your dog to chew only specific items. You must play with your dog to have them chew on their dog toys and reward them if they do so. This will not happen right away so it is important that you remove items from their reach also. Living with dogs can be bothersome in that you have to walk and exercise them so they spend out their energy and behave like good dogs at home.
