Puppies tend to explore the world with their mouths, which often looks like them chewing on your possessions. Here are a few tips to prevent your dog from chewing on furniture and other belongings:
Put away your shoes, clothes, and other valuable belongings that your dog can chew on.
Apply a bitter apple or pepper repellent spray directly to the furniture. Most puppies dislike the taste of these sprays and will avoid items that have been sprayed.
Ensure that your puppy has a safe, appropriate toy to chew on, and give the toy to your dog when you notice it starting to chew on furniture or other items.
If you think your puppy is chewing on items out of boredom, exercise your puppy daily to reduce chewing and other anxiety-related behaviors, such as digging, licking, and barking. Doggie daycare is a great way to exercise your puppy and introduce them to other dogs.
