All puppies go through a chewing stage. Chewing fulfills your natural instincts to grab, bite, kill and consume. Dogs like to play with objects and intend to KILL it by grabbing, shaking and tearing at it. Some fall in love with shoes and will gawk at their favorite shoes or the corners of their Italian sofa. Dogs are not snobs when it comes to “throwing” a good shoe.
You want to protect your property, but you also want to teach your dog manners. Although chewing is normal, chewing on shoes and other household items is unacceptable. You will need to replace the chew item to train your dog to change his chewing habit.
Chewing is usually worse when the puppy is teething, when the teeth that grew out of the gum caused great discomfort; chewing helps soothe irritation. Chewing is one of the ways they get by with this bread, and how they will speed up the process by pulling out puppy teeth.
Your pup likes to explore his world by sniffing, biting, and sometimes chewing on anything he can reach. Crate training for your dog can help save his shoes, and stop his inherent need to chew, introducing a safe and fun toy for him will be appropriate.
Anything a dog can comfortably fit in their mouth is too small for them. There will be choking hazard for them. Before you buy a toy, tug on it and see if it falls apart in your hand, if it does, it will end up being swallowed by your pet making it unsafe. Look for hard, sharp, or rough edges, as well as any accessories that could be torn off and swallowed.
Never substitute your old shoes or personal clothing for your pup’s toys. They can’t tell the difference between a smelly old gym shoe and his favorite shoes. If you let him chew on a shoe or a shirt, he’ll assume he’s got the green light for everyone. Give your pup the right chew toys instead
Do not allow your puppy to bite and chew on your fingers and toes during playtime, then he will think it is okay to bite all humans that come near him, it is a very bad idea, especially if there are small children in the home .
