How can I stop my dog from chewing on everything?

Chewing is a perfectly natural behavior for dogs, especially for puppies who are exploring the world with their mouths and trying to relieve the discomfort of teething. However, it's important to manage this behavior to prevent your dog from chewing on inappropriate items around your home.

Dogs chew for a variety of reasons. Puppies chew to soothe their sore gums during teething, while all dogs explore their environment through chewing. If your dog is bored, anxious, or stressed, they may also chew as an outlet for these emotions.

To manage your dog's chewing, ensure they have plenty of appropriate chew toys. Choose a variety of durable, safe toys that will satisfy their need to chew. It's also crucial to puppy-proof your home by removing valuable or dangerous items that your dog could get their teeth on.

Supervision is key, especially with puppies. When you can't supervise your dog, confine them to a safe area like a crate or a puppy-proofed room. Training can also help curb unwanted chewing. Teach your dog the "leave it" command to redirect them from inappropriate chewing targets.

Finally, make sure your dog is getting enough exercise and mental stimulation. A tired dog is a well-behaved dog, and they'll be less likely to engage in destructive chewing if their needs are met.

For more information on managing your dog's chewing, refer to these resources:

• The Humane Society of the United States. (n.d.). Dog chewing.
• VCA Animal Hospitals. (n.d.). Destructive chewing.
