Offer durable chew toys like Kong or Nylabone. These toys satisfy your dog's natural urge to chew.
Use positive reinforcement. Reward your dog when they chew on toys instead of furniture. Consistency is key.
Puppy-proof your home by removing tempting items. Keep shoes, cables, and valuables out of reach.
Ensure your dog gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. A tired dog is less likely to chew.
Use bitter apple spray on items your dog chews. It deters them with an unpleasant taste.
If chewing persists, consult a dog behaviorist or trainer. They can address underlying issues.
Finally, be patient. Breaking the chewing habit takes time and consistent effort.
