Puppy Stop Chewing on My Shoes!

By: Russell Brown

Every puppy loves to chew and will chew on just about anything they can get their little puppy teeth into. Puppuy owners know that puppy's chewing can cost big bucks as you try to repair damaged furniture and replace your personal belongings. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can keep your puppy's teeth out of your things.

Puppies are so dog-gone lovable. I admit that I am so entertained when my puppy chews on a sock. He wags his little tail playfully, does his little puppy-growl, and then chews until it lies in shreds on the floor. However, my puppy suddenly becomes a lot less lovable when it is MY sock he is chewing on. I would venture to guess that the largest expense incurred by puppy owners is as a result of replacing or repairing chewed up belongings. Naturally, a 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 anyting important or valuable of puppys reach. Low tables need to be free of magazines, books, and remote controls. Make sure these things are in higher places where puppy can't reach. 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! Keep your puppy safe by keeping small and dangerous items out of his reach.

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.

Invest in many types of puppy chew toys. Puppy chew toys give puppy something safe to chew on. You may have seen those nylon rope puppy toys in stores. These are great! These puppy chew toys help to keep puppy's teeth clean while he is chewing to his hearts content.

Don't forget, if you stay calm, puppy will most likely 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 adorable and excitable animals. The very excitement that makes puppy adorable also makes puppy chew on everything in sight. To help stop puppy chewing, stay calm around your puppy as much as possible. With consist effort, training your puppy to only chew on his puppy chew toys will be obtained.
