Help me stop my dog ​​from chewing on my furniture! This was such a heartfelt plea for help that it pricked my heart. I couldn’t ignore it and decided to write this article in response to this very urgent request.

I have received many emails from dog owners with all kinds of dog related issues and training needs for their pets. But, this one makes it home because I know the damage a chewing dog can cause.

My dear friend Juan suggests a wonderful tool and resource to quickly stop this type of problem that seems to affect all breeds of dogs. I already have first hand experience with this dog chew material. I just want to expound his suggestion and hope to help you with his problem. It can take a long time to train a dog to stop chewing on destructive furniture, but trust me, you can do it! It is also very important that you do not give up when you start training.

I decided these three tips were worth putting down to help people with severe dog chewing problems. Since I already know what your dog chews, I won’t go into more detail, but rather go straight to the 3 tips I told you about earlier.

tip number one

There are a number of products you can buy and apply to your furniture to keep fido away. The one that I usually advise people to do is “Chew Stop”. It is a type of spray that is sprayed on the furniture and when the dog tries to bite the furniture it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. You can find this at any pet store or right here online.

tip number two

How old is your dog? Most young and adolescent dogs go through a teething process that makes them a bit crazy to chew. The discomfort of their sore gums will cause them to chew on objects such as furniture, shoes, belts, to soothe their pain. If you think teething is the problem, try offering a toy or treats specifically designed for this purpose. Even better, freeze the chew toy for several hours, then give it to your pup. This will ease teething pain and distract him from chewing on other objects.

tip number three

Box training very important and not so loved. While this technique is highly regarded, many dog ​​owners do not practice it. The reason I see most often is that they can’t worry about how long it takes to train and properly implement the box training technique.

Don’t avoid this if you can take the time to use it. Your dog will appreciate it and the chewing behavior will stop.
