It is a normal behavior for puppies and dogs to their environment by sniffing, tasting and perhaps chewing on objects throughout the home. Dogs can also chew scavenging for food (as in the garbage Raiding), games (as in the dog chews apart, that a book or couch), childhood diseases (dogs 3 to 6 months old, the chewing on household objects), or satisfaction a natural urge to chew and gnaw (which serve to help teeth and gums healthy).

How can I prevent destructive chewing?

Since dogs have no sense of the value of the goods they explore and chew, they can often be destructive in our eyes. Rather than inhibit chewing, you should make sure your dog is chewing on the items that you would like for them to chew. The first step is to make your dog the difference between what you and what is it. To do this they need to see toys as a reward, something that is something special and quite unlike the chairman leg for example. Here are some tips and tricks in order to achieve this:

* At the outset, to only 3 toys available to your dog. They all taste, texture and form.
* Use these toys and play regularly with the dog. In this way they can combine these toys with good things, and therefore it is likely your dog plays with them, if you are not there.
* Take one of the toys a hollow fill toy can be filled that with food and treats, further, encourage them to use them. See our article on how to use a Kong and the other activity toys available.
* Remove valuable items or out of reach. Discourage your dog from chewing other objects (furniture, etc.) with deterrent measures such as anti-Chew Johnston. This has a bitter taste and sprayed on furniture, its taste Deters chewing.
* Keep your dog only if you do not see it. Crate training is considered one of the best ways to do this (see our article - Dog Crate & Training crates). Alternatively, you can use a stylus to restrict movement to play a specific area.
* When you chew your dog the correct article, praise them. This gives further positive reinforcement to chew the right objects. Avoid mind that it interrupts their chewing.
* If you catch your dog chewing on something they are not to catch their attention with a firm "No". Immediately them something they can chew and praise when they do.
* The best form of correction is the objects themselves! Ok, that sounds odd and needs an explanation. If you discipline your dog for chewing an incorrect object, it may mistakenly believe they can not chew at all, can not chew or in your presence. If, however, by chewing a certain object, a certain negative consequence occurs, then it will be at a later date. The best way to do this is to frighten your dog with a splash of water from a gun (on the back of the head), as they are to chew the object. It is important that the dog does not see you do this. It is believe that it is the object itself, this may be slightly aversive and is used as a last resort when all other methods have failed.
* Most importantly, keep it all positive and reward correct behavior. Treat mistakes as a debt not properly teach your dog the points may or may not chew.
