when you are gone put the dog inside a kennel so they don't chew anything up in the house

dog trainingWhether the dog is a puppy that is teething or an older dog that is just bored, the answer is the same. The only difference between the two is something I call the Crate training tool. If your dog is a puppy, you really need to crate-train him. This is especially true if you leave your dog indoors while you are out. Go to the pet store and purchase a crate that will still fit him when he is fully grown. By "fit" I mean that he will be able to enter and exit it without having to hunker down alot when going in or coming out. Put the crate in an area that you can leave it and not consider it too much of an eyesore. (if you want, you can place a throw over it or a lamp if it's big enough, whatever) It is important that you try to leave it in the same place so the dog will have his own area to feel secure. Be sure not to totally isolate the dog from everything though as this may be stressful on him wanting to see the things he hears when he is inside it. Dogs are naturally denning animals and the transition to the crate is very natural for them. Begin by placing a treat in the crate and leading him inside, then close and lock the gate. Praise him and then do something around the house letting him see you and hear you while he is inside the crate. After you are done let him out and praise him again. The idea is to get him used to feeling secure in the crate for longer periods of time. When you can leave him in the crate while you are out, leave him something to chew on. The best all around chew toys are called Kongs. These are hard rubber toys of variable shapes and sizes with a hoolow center. Put treats or even peanut butter inside them when you go out and he will spend all day trying to get every last molecule out of them. When you come home, immediately let him out and outside to potty. You don't have to keep him crated when you can watch him, only when you leave. ***NEVER MAKE GOING TO THE CRATE A PUNISHMENT!*** If you keep from doing this you will find that he will even go to the crate at night to sleep, or when you are home, but busy with other things around the house. Above all, exercise is also very important to dogs and will keep them from going stir crazy in an inside-environment.This same traing will work with older dogs, but be awre that they can be harder to acquaint to crate training. Any othe info? Study crate traing on the web, or ask your vet or even someone at a local pet store. I have had pit bulls, boxers, Boston terriers, bull mastiffs so I know this works. If you are hung up on thinking this is cruel then think about this...Your dog has a single life-long goal----to make you happy and please you. If you aren't constantly scolding him for chewing up everything, and instead giving him a secure place to stay while your out while at the same time reassuring yourself that he's not dragging the ficus tree around the living room while you're at work, don't you think he will be happier? You will be too. Good luck!

Get Apple Bitter spray. I spray it on electrical wires (away from the plug!), on plants, and on table and chair legs. The taste makes them stop immediately. I haven't seen an animal forget & try again more than once. A great training aid!

Also, spraying pee pads with Apple Bitter keeps them from getting torn up by playful pups!

Take the shoes away without comment or reaction and redirect her to her chew toys. The more you do this — praise her for chewing the right things and withhold attention when she chews something she shouldn't — the more likely she is to chew on a toy and not your shoes

They do tend to get bored of chewing the same thing but I beat that by get my dog the "bark box" they send a new chewable toy every month try it on this link to get a discount

The best way to stop your puppy or immature dog from chewing, is to give it it's own toys to chew on. As it chews on the toys, reward it for doing so.

Is there some kind of spray that will keep puppies from chewing on things they aren't suppose to?

don't bother buying sprays, just a waste of money, I got this tip and it works, sounds weird tho, Now hear me out.... you know the pup loves their owners smell, so take some of your socks or both you and anyone who lives with you socks, they must be a little dirty with your scents on them, use old ones if you can, make sure they have a least 2 days use on them. Then tie them up together to make a toy, like a bunch of wide ropes, then soak them with water, then put them into a plastic freezer bag, when frozen give to the pup, it will help stop his chewing, and he will then play with it, till its in shreds and you will have to make another, make 2 while you are at it. this should solve your problem. I've been thru the chewing many a time, my alligator shoes!!! my new fishing rod,,geez the things they chew on. I hope this helps you, I had tried the bitter apple spray etc, no luck with any of them, the socks help. Love the first post and a good idea. I have a Cockapoo male and he went through the chewing stage. Puppies are like human babies and do teeth. I went and got a hard rubber baby teething ring and put it in the freezer then gave it to him. He loved it and it was soothing to his gums. I still buy these plastic/rubber toys shaped in a bone with prongs on them and he is now just over a year old and loves to chew on that old thing. Thus, no more chewing on anything around the house, but he'll steal socks, my husband's underwear and is a complete kleptomaniac! LOL Thankfully he doesn't ruin anything, but he does have 2 stashes around the house and when he's not looking I retrieve what I need too.
