 Training your dog to not chew

For every canine, biting comes easily. Every dog has a sense of this instinctive need to sharpen teeth and gnawing abilities. Biting on the right things, such as exceptionally provided chew toys, for example, can help the dog clean its teeth and remove plaque.

Even if biting is regular and solid, this does not mean that you should give the dog unconditional power and let him bite everything in sight. Every dog needs to become familiar with the distinction between things it can bite, such as toys and ropes, and things it is not allowed to bite, such as flooring, shoes and the like.

When working with another dog, it's a good idea to keep the small dog in a small, enclosed space for at least a month and a half. This is important not only to prevent biting, but also to ensure proper house training of the dog.

Older dogs should also be confined to a small space from the start. This allows the dog to gradually become familiar with the smells and sights of its new family.

When setting up this small, confined area, be sure to provide the dog or canine with a few good quality chew toys to keep it occupied while you can't manage it. The dog should also have a warm place to rest and plenty of fresh, clean water.

As the dog is moved to larger and larger parts of the house, there is a greater chance that he will bite inappropriate objects. As the dog is allowed to enter the house more freely, it is essential to keep items on the floor that should not be bitten, such as rugs, shoes, etc. If you neglect to move an object and return to find that the dog has bitten it, resist the temptation to scold or yell at the dog. On second thought, occupy the dog with one of his most favorite toys and remove the inappropriate thing from his mouth.

The dog should then be given one of his favorite toys. Reward the dog when it starts to bite its toy. This will show the dog that it is rewarded for biting specific objects, but not for biting other objects.

Showing the dog what is appropriate to bite is vital, not only for the well-being of your expensive furniture and rugs, but also for the dog's safety. Many dogs have bitten through dangerous things like extra lines, etc. This can obviously cause serious harm to the dog or even cause a fire.

Most dogs are fairly quick to know what to bite and what not to bite, but some are quicker than others. Some dogs bite because they are exhausted, so it's essential to give them plenty of toys and solitary exercise.

It's also a good idea to schedule regular playtime, including one right before you leave. Assuming the dog is completely exhausted after his play session, chances are he will rest all day.

Different canines bite to show their fear of abandonment. Many dogs become extremely anxious when their owner leaves, and some worry every time that their owner may never return. This pressure can lead the dog to engage in all manner of harmful behavior, including biting and soiling the house. Assuming that the fear of abandonment is the root of the problem, you need to address the explanations behind it and assure the dog that you will return.

The best way to do this is to plan a few regular outings around the house, and to vary the times of these outings. At first, the outings may last for a few moments, but the duration will gradually increase as the dog's fear of abandonment problems worsen.
