Have you come home to find one too many of your designer shoes chewed up and have had it with dog chewing? Well you have certainly come to the right place.

In this article I will go over why your dog loves to chew and how you can stop dog chewing once and for all. It’s about time right? At least for the sake of your shoes and furniture.

First you need to come to grips with the fact that all dogs have a natural tendency to chew on things. At least you can rest assured in knowing that your dog isn’t trying to destroy your things or get back at you for not taking him on that walk yesterday.

It is important to stop dog chewing early as it can turn into quite a dangerous hobby for your furry friend. Things such as electrical wires can electrocute him right in the mouth if he is not careful.

Thankfully, there are only a few reasons you dog is chewing in the first place. The main one is actually due to boredom. Your dog then starts to chew on things just to be entertained. If this is the case with your dog, give him some toys that are safe for him to chew on.

Separation anxiety could also be a large contributing factor. If you are gone all day and your dog is left alone, at least put on the radio or the television to keep him some company.

Animal Planet would probably be the best bet as far as TV channels go. If you don’t have this channel, anything is better than nothing.

If your dog is a puppy he is probably teething right now and this is what spurred the dog chewing problem in the first place. Make sure you take care of this problem quickly because this is the time that habits are developed, which will be harder to break later on.

Fear can also cause your dog to chew on things. Make sure there is nothing that is causing your dog to be afraid or stressed out.

Try to eliminate anything that is scaring your dog from your home and make it as comfortable for him as possible while you are away.

Again, turning on the television can help at this point as well. No matter what, keep in mind that he is not chewing to make you angry or to ruin your things.

You can stop dog chewing with a lot of love, patience some a bit of training.
