Is your pooch slowly destroying your furniture with their chewing habits? Are your favorite pair of shoes ruined? Are pillows out of stuffing? Are your chair legs covered in bite marks? If any of this resonates with you then you've probably got a very active canine ‘chewer' on your hands. But don't worry, there's hope for you and your pooch yet!

Before we begin working on your dogs chewing regime, it's important to understand why dog's chew on things to begin with. Puppies are similar to babies in that they go through a phase where they teethe. This phase can cause a certain level of discomfort in their mouth and chewing on things like your expensive sofa or your brand new purse can help ease this discomfort and make their gums feel better. Adult dogs can chew on things for a variety of reasons. Some of the issues may be behavioral. A large number of dogs chew when they are lonely or bored. They can also resort to chewing if they're anxious or afraid. And other times, adult dogs chew because they want your attention. No matter what the reason for chewing, there is always a solution.
