Stop Dog Chewing / Stop Puppy Chewing - Stop Your Dog from Chewing
Stop Dog Chewing/Stop Puppy Chewing -- My best friend's new puppy was terrorizing their household with his chewing of everything in sight from furniture to carpet to shoes! We found out how to stop his puppy's chewing with no jerking, squirting, or clicking!
My friend Ken's life was turned upside down--he didn't know how to get his puppy under control or to stop dog chewing! Well, I've been listening for years to a radio talk show called "Talkin' Animals With Dr. Dog" on 760KFMB in San Diego. When the show's host, Dr. Dog (Dr. Dennis Fetko) announced that he had published a dog training ebook, Dr. Dog's FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions, I purchased a copy right away hoping to find methods on how to help my friend, Ken, stop his puppy dog's chewing.
What I discovered about how to stop puppy chewing in Dr. Dog's ebook didn't surprise me. His methods to stop dog chewing are not harsh or gimmicky. In fact one of Dr. Dog's sayings is, "In dog training, 'jerk' is a noun and not a verb!" Dr. Dog also says, "If anyone has to jerk a dog to stop dog chewing, he should not be allowed near anything with a pulse!"
So, I shared Dr. Dog's methods on how to stop dog chewing from his ebook with Ken; a few days later he reported back that he's finally getting control of his previously-out-of-control chewing puppy! He learned that--even at this young age--he should be training his puppy in all areas and not just letting him "be a puppy".
Of all the things a dog can do wrong, chewing problems are one of the most destructive and expensive. Replacing furniture and carpeting can be as costly as a week in Las Vegas and far less fun! Stopping dog chewing problems is easier if we eliminate the motivation as we learned in Dr. Dog's training ebook.
It turns out there are many reasons for dog chewing problems--everything from puppy teething pain to boredom, too many toys and playing the wrong games with your dog, among others. We learned that to stop dog chewing or to stop puppy chewing, you may need to implement several stop dog chewing remedies at once.

Why is your dog chewing?
When you know why your dog has chewing problems, you're on your way to being able to stop dog chewing.
Frozen Treats to Reduce Puppy Teething Pain and Help Stop Puppy Chewing
Stop Dog Chewing or Stop Puppy Chewing by Reducing Teething Pain
How to Stop a Dog from ChewingIf teething pain is causing your puppy's chewing, a simple solution to stop puppy chewing is to control the pain with ice cubes or frozen rags. Ice cubes are obvious. Just give Godzilla a bowl of ice cubes instead of water or use them as treats. He can lick them to quench his thirst and chewing them will ease teething pain and stop your puppy from chewing.
Frozen rags can help stop puppy chewing. Make them by wetting a washcloth, wringing it out, leaving it wrung in a cigar shape, and freezing it. It'll be hard enough to encourage chewing and the cold relieves pain. But only use a frozen rag when you'll be around to pick it up before it thaws. We don't want the dog to chew rags, remember? Re-wet and re-freeze it and use it over until teething stops.

A Physical Problem Can Cause Dog or Puppy Chewing Problems
This may require a visit to your vet to discover any physical cause for your dog's chewing.
Stop Dog ChewingSome dogs suffer a nutritional deficiency which makes it difficult to stop dog chewing. Their diets just don't provide everything their bodies need. I had a client whose dog ate the sheetrock off the garage wall. I mean ate it! And then he started gnawing on the bumper of the car. Really!!
Some dogs, especially those left outdoors unsupervised get a splinter or a thorn in their mouths. In this case it will be difficult to stop dog chewing because the dog will start chewing to get rid of the thing that's caught. I once found a piece of wood so firmly wedged into the roof of a dog's mouth that flesh started to grow over it.
A medical problem with teeth or gums can also cause chronic dog chewing problems. Don't conclude it's a behavior problem unless you've made sure it's not physical.

Why a Puppy's Teething Causes Puppy Chewing Problems
How to Stop a Puppy from Chewing
Stop Puppy ChewingUntil about five or six months of age, a pup goes through a painful teething period. Their gums hurt--just as a human baby's do. Rubbing makes them feel better. So the majority of puppy owners need to use a variety of methods to stop puppy chewing.
Not having fingers, the only way a pup can rub or massage his gums is to chew stuff. Therein lies a powerful conditioner.
Remember negative reinforcement? If I do something that makes a bad thing stop, I'm negatively reinforced for doing it and the act gets stronger.
The pup's reward for chewing is the pain going away. He's instantly rewarded for chewing your couch, which is why the dog doesn't believe you when you tell him chewing is bad. How could it be bad when it makes pain go away and makes his chewing problems go away.
