we have 2 dogs..poppy a 10 yr old lab and lily an 18 month staffy cross.lily has a lovely nature and is very sociable with other dogs.the only problem we have is that she occasionally chews furniture.she is walked everyday,.usually a different walk each day.she only chews through the night but not every night!?she shares a sofa with poppy as a bed,sometimes Poppy sleeps behind the sofa or generally where she is laying.lily has very strong toys to chew.we have never hit her for this behavior but we have shouted at her and also ignored her.

Very very interesting informational content you share. This is the dog only, my one friend have two lion cubs as a pet. I think HUSH PUPPY band shoes are good for me and my friend. lol Their jaws are more powerful than any other predator. I will guide him and share this information to him. Once they swallowed my friend sister's eternity rings. :D

I recently brought a new dog through an add in the paper and she is a lovely Great Dane x Bull Mastiff and is a just over a year old . And I know she is going through the puppy stage still of chewing everything but she never does it when Im looking or when Im home. And when I find she chew something up I present the item to her and say 'no' firmly and she seems to know when I pick an item up she has chewed she in trouble but continues to do it . I just dont know when I should be disaplining her after she done the bad bahviour or not .

Duke is a fun and very loving dog. We where visiting mom down in Apple Valley, and our way to dinner we spotted a man holding a puppy out towards traffic. I asked my partner to turn back. To my surprise he was given them away. A liter full of them and at the very back our little Duke laid with large ears that could wrap around his little head and big beautiful brown eyes staring at me.We brought him home and was that a night to remember. He was use to his liter and was terrified to sleep alone cried until i came and cuddle w him on the floor. He will turn 1 years old on June 24, but he has an issue with urinating on our furniture and even worse he shares a home with a 6year old Pitt bull brown lab mix. Duke try to urinate on Brownnie. Brownnie is very patient with Duke, lets him bite his ears, lips, and ankles. There both males so I know their is competition. They pick up the anxiety of us visiting them and rush to the door and jump every where. Brownnie dose marathons around the house Duke picks up and jumps nibbling on us. Now his new habit chewing on toys, shoes, anything he can destroy even rocks. He picks the biggest ones and brings them in the house to start his rock fiesta. What do you suggest we do with our four leg-ed family members, I own a brand new living room set he destroyed both couches, shoes, crayons, and toys. what can you suggest please?

Thank you

Hi, I think you can't handle easily the chewing habit of dogs. I will follow these 5 Steps to Save Your Shoes from Your Chewing Canine then I will get the result, but after all I have bought China Shoes, it is great leather shoes. Thanks for sharing these steps. Thanks

My dog, a 4 year old German Shepherd mixed breed who I adopted about 9 months ago, has a thing for socks. Rather than just chewing the socks, she swallows them whole. I'm at a loss as to what to do other than making sure socks (and anything else) is out of her reach. She does this when I am home (except once) and I just worry that at some point I won't realize she has done this and that she may die. She's already had one surgery to remove a sock, has been taken to the vet to induce vomiting several times, and once got really, really sick several weeks after consuming my two eye masks that she got off my window sill.

One of the best devices I have found for chewing puppies are taste detterent sprays, such as Bitter Apple. These sprays can be put on any objects (Shoes, socks, plants, furniture and wires) to help the dog learn to not chew on that object. It just tastes bad to them. It is a non-toxic spray that was orginally used to spray on dogs after surgery when they had stitches so they wouldn't pick and lick at their stitches. You still want to reward a dog for a good behavior, though. Also, try trading the object for one of the dog's own toys. That helps establish what belongs to you and what belongs to the dog.

My newest addition to the family, a 1yo pit bull named Harvey, has a chewing problem that I have never encountered before. He chews on my other dogs' collar until he gets it pulled off her neck. The problem with this is that we have an invisible fence and she needs the collar to stay inside of it. He gets rawhide chews and toys. I try to correct him when I see him doing it by using the touch, which does not work on him, its' like he doesn't even feel it. We are on her fourth collar and we have only had Harvey a month. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have a nine month old shiba inu. He is very stubron. He chews on everything all the time. Carpet, wires, ccouch, table and so on and on. We have tryed the tips you gave but he just does not care. I need help on what to do? I am afraid he is going to eat something and get really hurt or die. Can anyone help on this? We do give him chews and chew toys. He has pig ears, raw hides,, braided bones, bully stix a kong everything you can think of he has and he still rather chew on what he is not suppost too. Dont get me wrong he does chew on those also but we will say 70% of the time he chews on the bad things instead of the good things.
Can anyone help??

My puppy Tomo is 9 months old. He is a Shiba Inu. He is very stubron. I can not get him to stop chewing everything. Wires, carpet, couch, table, movies anything he can get his mouth on he chews. we have bought him raw hides bones bully stix. he chews on them also but he wont stop chewing everything else also. No matter what i do he just wont stop. I am afraid he is going to get hurt. can anyone tell me what to do??

My dog only chews on my stuff when we're home. He's fine when we go out. We don't find anything damaged when we come home. When we catch him, we correct him and give him something of his that he is allowed to chew, but the problem arises when we only find the object after he has already chewed it. He is very well behaved otherwise. He gets a lot of exercise-frequent walks and daily outings to the park where he can run and play with other dogs.

How do you take care of it when they don't chew or get into things until you leave the house? My dogs are great when I'm there (I have two boxers), but when I'm gone and they get bored, they get into trouble. I've even exercised them before I leave and they still look for things to get into. I have to crate them when I leave.
