Chewing, Cooperative Play, and Resource Guarding in Puppies and Adult Dogs
Your shoes shouldn’t be your dog’s favorite chew toy. Give your dog something better to do—and teach him how to do it with you.
Whether you’re raising a puppy or living with an adult dog who helps himself to your belongings, preventing destructive chewing takes more than buying another toy. Supervision, appropriate toys, guiding choices, and clear routines need to work together to help teach your dog to stop chewing everything.
