How to Stop Destructive Chewing Behavior in Dogs

Stopping Destructive Chewing Behavior in Dogs

Dogs may chew destructively due to boredom, anxiety, teething, or lack of exercise. To stop this behavior, provide appropriate chew toys like Kong toys or durable rubber toys. Ensure your dog gets enough physical and mental exercise daily. Use positive reinforcement by praising and rewarding your dog when they chew on appropriate items. If you catch your dog chewing on something they shouldn't, interrupt the behavior with a firm 'no' and redirect them to a chew toy. Consider using deterrent sprays on items your dog shouldn't chew. Crate training can also be helpful to prevent destructive chewing when you're not around.
