How do you get puppies to stop chewing?

Answer 1

Its natural for puppies to chew. They, like human babies, explore their surroundings with their mouths, and will also chew more when teething.

Lots of chew toys, and toys like the Kong you can stuff with food are good toys that hold the puppy's attention. It is ideal to teach the pup a "leave" or "drop it" command, so you can easily take things from your puppy's mouth. The best method for this is to take the object away from the puppy and give him something that is even more prized - such as his favourite toy or treat.

Answer 2

I have found that when I gave my dog pineapple pieces, he stopped eating his own pooh. I was told it was because although they love the taste of pineapple, they cant stand the smell that it has in pooh. It stopped my dog, so when I see him starting to go after his, I just pull out the fresh pineapple and it stops him for about a month or longer.

Answer 3

Usually dogs only eat their feces if they are lacking something in their diet, so check with your vet, but if the problem continues, then you can purchase pills, or powder to put in your dogs food, that come cause the poo to be less appealing to the dog. I also knew someone who would put a little Tabasco sauce over his dogs poo, and then the dog would not eat it.
