First of all tell your dog "NO" in a firm deep voice when you catch him or her chewing on the furniture. Give your dog something else to chew on, such as nylabones or other hard toys that are safe for dogs. Also keep him busy, make sure to take your dog on a daily walk of at least 20 minutes, 45 minutes is best. Make it a nice fast paced walk. Walk your dog on a leash & choke chain only, never let your dog off the leash while taking walks. Go to a local Obedience school. Ask your Veterinarian or the local Animal Shelter where the obedience classes are. Find your local all breed dog club and join. They will offer lots of things to do with your dog. It will be fun for both you and your dog. Also you can get products like the furnature spray at petsmart that gets you're dog to stop chewing the furnature by making the item taste bad and will effectively stop the chewing

Is it ok for your dog to play with your hands?

It is okay for your dog to play with your hands as long as this does not escalate to your dog being violent, which can be prevented by training your dog when to stop. Play biting is natural for dogs, so as long as your dog isn't really biting and your hands are being injured, then it is okay.

How can you stop a dog from jumping on furniture?

If a dog was allowed on furniture as a puppy, the harder it will be to stop this behavior. The dog will have to be leashed inside the home until any attempts to climb up have been removed. As the dog approaches a chair, bed or other furniture, gently tug on the leash BEFORE the dog reaches its destination and say a firm "no". If it knows "no" to other things, it should not take too long before the dog makes the association.


How do you get a dog to stop biting?

If they bite you, slap them on the nose and say bad dog and NO! it may sound cruel and believe me it wasn't fun being mean to him. But he is beginning to stop biting. Don't run over to him after punishing him and giving him praise. Wait a few minutes then rush over to him and pet him.
