Chewing is a perfectly normal and natural canine behavior. Prevention and treatment of destructive chewing behavior focus on management and education—to prevent dog from chewing inappropriate items.
Prevention - Whenever leaving home, confine your puppy to a large confinement area -with a comfortable bed, a bowl of water, and freshly-stuffed chew toys. House trained adult dogs may be confined to a dog crate. When you are home, confine your puppy to crate with nothing but a freshly-stuffed chew toy for entertainment. Every hour, take your puppy to relieve it and if he goes, praise her and play some chew toy games with her before putting her back.
The purpose of confinement is to prevent your dog from chewing inappropriate items around the house and to maximize the likelihood your dog will develop a chew toy habit.
