What can I give my dog to deter her chewing habit?
I see that Bella is still a puppy. Puppies can be very distructive as they finish teething and get their extra energy out. I would consider some of the tougher chews like Bully Sticks which should keep her busy for a longer period of time. My dogs also enjoy Kong toys. You can also consider other types of mental stimulation like Buster cubes for feeding. Be sure to keep her tired with regular training, walks and play. Finally, if Bella is chewing on things that may cause her harm, be sure to keep her in a kennel when she is not supervised to make sure she doesn't get into anything dangerous. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hi there. You could try a daily natural calming supplement such as Zylkene or Composure, if you want to. An Adaptil pheromone collar can also be helpful for mild anxiety issues. If these things don't help, you may want to consider seeing a veterinary behaviorist to discuss a more comprehensive treatment plan for her anxiety issues, which may include prescription medication if needed.

Isabella loves to chew on things like shoes, plastic or clothes. I know dogs us usually like to chew on things but she's a bit excessive about it. I have given her nylabones and other chew toys to play with but she still chews on anything she can fin
A stern "No" should distract her then offer an appropriate item to chew. When she complies, praise and reward her. Be firm and be consistent. A bitter agent, such as Bitter Apple or Fooey, may also deter inappropriate chewing. Be sure to spot test it on fabrics first.

My 1 year old dog destroys/chews on everything she shouldn't. Is she lacking something in her system?
Chewing on lots of things is very normal behavior for young dogs - it normally diminishes on its own with age, but in the meantime you can do some things to help. First and foremost, make sure that she has plenty of chew items and long-lasting treats available to provide an appropriate outlet for this behavior - things like bully sticks, cow or pig ears, large rawhide chews, and puzzle toys such as a Kong stuffed with peanut butter are all good options. Keep clothing, shoes, and other objects put away out of her reach, just as you would for a toddler or small child. I would also recommend supervising her closely so that you can redirect her to one of her chews if she starts to chew on something she shouldn't. Finally, Bitter Apple spray can be used on furniture, baseboards, or other areas to help discourage chewing. If the destructive behavior is only happening when you're not home, I would be concerned that she may have separation anxiety - you can video tape her one day while yo

So we are going to use a remote collar to train the puppy to never chew the chainlink fence she doesn’t do it often . A trainer on YouTube Solidk9 training recommended. I think it’s better to have a mild stem correction than broken teeth one day. Als
Sport dog is a good brand with several levels of correction. This will not be effective for chewing unless you are always there to correct her. If she chews when you are not home there is no way to know or enforce or correct this. For any training you have to ask them to perform something they know, such as sit. If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond
