HOW TO STOP DESTRUCTIVE CHEWING.... Dogs chew. Its a natural, normal, necessary canine behavior, especially for puppies and young dogs. As a dog owner, your responsibility is to provide lots of acceptable chew toys and teach your dog to use them. The following tips will help you get control of destructive chewing: If you catch your dog chewing something inappropriate, interrupt her and redirect her to something acceptable. Be consistent—and persistent. Theres no need to scold her for chewing the wrong thing. Give your dog lots of acceptable chew toys. Find out what she likes to chew, and make sure those toys are abundant. When you see your dog chewing on something acceptable, praise her! Let her know you approve of what shes doing. Dont take good behavior for granted. If your dog chews up something while youre gone, dont get angry when you get home; the dog wont associate your anger with her chewing. Put her in another room and clean up the mess without drawing undue attention to it.
