Does your dog destroy your shoes and furniture?

Why does a dog chew? There are many reasons a dog would chew on things including a form of teething, to relieve stress, to explore, and for the fun of chewing.

But how can you prevent your dog from chewing? You can prevent a dog from chewing by maxing sure the dog is kept busy and stimulated so the dog is not bored. Good placement of a dog chew toy or dog bone can give your dog an outlet for his chewing needs. Immediate and appropriate discipline when a dog chews on an unacceptable item is also important. Some dogs are still habitual chewers and must be confined to the outdoors when not supervised.

Keeping your dog well exercised will also reduce the need to chew.
