New puppies can have an adorably curious mind.
However, their curiosity makes you giggle in the beginning but causes problems once he or she starts digging up your roses or destroying your shoe collection. Then suddenly your laughter changes to pangs of frustration. While punishment is useful to correct problem behavior, you will find that using it as the sole form of correction may not be as effective. Whereas reinforcing good behavior works better and keeps your dog much happier. When approaching the chewing problem, begin using chew toys, so that the puppy has specific toys that it is allowed to chew.
