Steps to Save Your Shoes from Your Chewing Canine

What happen when you walk into your bedroom to find your dog, and you find your dog chewing up your favourite pair of shoes. What will you do and how will you stop it from happening again. Sometimes when you first get a puppy, he or she will start chewing on your shoes for fun, comfort or just because they are there for a good chew or Here are some steps to reclaiming your shoes, your socks, your sofa, and any other household object .

1.) Put your shoes out of his/her reach -Try keeping your shoes in a spot that is too high for your puppy to reach.

2.) Remain calm.

Unleashing your anger on your dog won't accomplish anything. In fact, it can further unbalance your dog - and move him to seek another object to chew to calm down!

3.) Create a disincentive. Buy a dog-deterrent spray from a reputable pet store or vet. One possibility is bitter apple spray. This carries a scent that people normally don't notice but it disgusts dogs. Your puppy may try to chew a shoe, but won't like the taste and will stop.

4) Be consistent with deterrent sprays.Whenever the spray scent fades off, spray some more on. Make sure you cover every part of the shoe, as well as the bottom and the inside. Eventually, after a while of keeping this up, your puppy will lose his chewing habit.

5.) Correct your dog. Do not try to grab the object away or take the dog away from the object. Instead, you can use a light touch correction on the neck or hindquarters to get your dog's attention away from the object.

6.) Find safe chew toys. Many dogs use chewing as a way to calm themselves. Puppies who are teething chew to relieve pain. Provide an object that they can safely chew, such as a chew toy or a bully stick.

7.) Distract the puppy. When you notice the chewing, call him or her. Wave around an alternative toy, such as a rubber bone, a chew rope or other enticing goodies.

8.) Go for energy-busting walks. Take puppy outdoors as often as possible for runs and tumbles. This will be the best distracting activity possible and will go a little way to tiring puppy out.
