Every puppy loves to chew and they will chew on anything they can get their little puppy teeth into. Puppy owners know all-too-well that puppy's chewing can cost big bucks as you try to repair damaged furniture and replace your personal belongings. With a few simple tricks and some basic puppy training tips, you can keep your puppy's teeth out of your things.
Puppies are just so cute. Is there anyone who is not entertained when a puppy chews on a sock? They wags their little tail, do that little puppy-growl, and then chews like crazy until that sock lies in tiny shreds on the floor. However, puppy suddenly becomes a lot less cute when it is YOUR sock he is chewing on, doesn't he? The largest cost incurred by all puppy owners has got to be from replacing or repairing chewed up stuff. Without fail, puppy will chew the most when you either aren't home or you aren't looking.
To begin to stop puppy from chewing you will need to puppy-proof your house. Puppy also needs to be confined to areas of your home where he can't get into too much trouble. Puppies are like small children - you shouldn't leave your puppy unattended - even when you are home. Go ahead and buy a baby gate to keep your puppy from wandering around and chewing up your stuff.
Keep your important things out of puppys reach. End tables need to be free of magazines, books, and definitely the remote control. Make sure these things in higher places where puppy can't reach to do your part to help puppy stay out of trouble. Don't forget, if your puppy gets a hold of small objects like marbles or little toy pieces, he could choke while chewing on them! Be sure these small things are picked up and out of puppy's reach at all times to keep your puppy safe.
Puppies get so worked up at times and when a puppy is over-excited, he chews - a lot. This is simply your puppy's way of releasing his pent up energy. Also keep in mind that your puppy has no idea that he's done something wrong unless you tell him. When puppy does chew on your things, try to resist your urge to spank him. Good puppy owners know that when their puppy has chewed up something, that he probably was responding to your behavior. When you leave the house and make a big deal out of leaving, puppy will get all excited. Puppy has no idea of the proper way to release his excitement, so, puppy chews.
Get your puppy a chew toy or ten. When he must chew, at least he will chew on something that is meant for chewing. Nylon rope puppy toys help to clean puppy's teeth while he is releasing his emotional energy.
Always remember, if you stay calm, puppy will stay calm, too. Try to resist the urge to make a big deal to puppy when you are leaving. When you come home, forget the dramatics, and be as calm as you possibly can.
Puppies are sweet, lovable, and highly-excitable animals. The very excitement that makes puppy so adorable is also what makes puppy chew on everything in sight. To help stop puppy chewing, do your best to stay calm around your puppy as much as possible. With your consist effort, training your puppy to only chew on his puppy chew toys will happen quite quickly.
