WHY DOES MY DOG CHEW AND BITE?
Dogs need to chew to relieve stress and excess
energy. In fact, puppy teething is a natural part of development. If
your dog chews on something that is off-limits, say "no" or
"eh" in a low voice. Then give your dog a safe chew toy.
Praise him for good behavior.
Remember to give your dog safe chew toys instead of
old household items like old shoes, because that could encourage him to
also chew on new shoes. You will also want to avoid rough play and games
like "tug of war" as this will encourage aggressive behavior.
