In order to help curb his little habit give your puppy some acceptable chewing alternatives. He may not take to them right away but be persistent, eventually you will find something that is soothing for him. Keeping household doors closed whenever it is possible will also help in keeping chewing incidents down.

3. Night time howling while in a crate, has to be one of the toughest challenges that a new puppy and owner will face. It is a time when everyone is tired and patience is wearing thin. Here are some "tricks" that have helped many dog owners over the years.

If your puppy has a favorite toy it likes to chew on put it in the crate with him at night. It is important to make the crate a happy place for your puppy. An often overlooked technique is simply wearing your puppy out, a tired puppy is less likely to put up a fight when it comes to bedtime.
