Everyone is entertained when watching a playful puppy chew on a sock. That puppy-tail wagging as they do that little puppy-growl, chewing like crazy until that sock lies in itty-bitty pieces on the floor. Thing is, puppy suddenly becomes a lot less entertaining when it is YOUR sock he is chewing on, doesn't he? One of the largest costs incurred by puppy owners is from replacing chewed up stuff. It never fails, puppy will chew the most when you either aren't looking or you aren't home.

Stopping puppy from chewing is a process that starts with puppy-proofing your home. Puppy needs boundries so try and keep him confined to parts of your home where he can't get into too much trouble. Puppies are like little children - you wouldn't leave your toddler unattended - don't leave your puppy unattended, either. Plan to buy a baby gate to keep your puppy from wandering around the house without being watched.

Keep anyting important or valuable of puppys reach. Low tables need to be free of magazines, books, and remote controls. Make sure these things are in higher places where puppy can't reach. Don't forget, if your puppy gets a hold of small objects like marbles or little toy pieces, he could choke while chewing on them! Keep your puppy safe by keeping small and dangerous items out of his reach.

Puppies can get very excited and I know my puppy seems to chew more when they he is all worked up. It is a way of releasing pent up energy. He doesn't know that he has done anything wrong unless you tell him so. If puppy does chew on stuff in the house, resist the urge to spank him. Your puppy may very well be responding to your behavior with his chewing. Leaving and entering the house showing a lot of emotion (waving wildly at puppy) will get puppy all worked up. Puppy doesn't know what to do with his heightened emotional level, so, he chews.

Invest in many types of puppy chew toys. Puppy chew toys give puppy something safe to chew on. You may have seen those nylon rope puppy toys in stores. These are great! These puppy chew toys help to keep puppy's teeth clean while he is chewing to his hearts content.

The best way to help your puppy stay calm is for YOOU to be calm. Resist the urge to broadcast to puppy that you are leaving. When you come home, forget the fanfare and be as calm as you possibly can.

Puppies are highly-excitable animals. This excitement can cause that adorable puppy of yours to chew on everything in sight. To avoid destruction, stay calm around your puppy and remember; this too shall pass. With consist behavior and discipline, training your puppy to only chew on his chew toys will pay off.
