How to prevent your puppy from chewing and scratching the carpet?

Its very possible that Harlie likes the way something on the carpet smells or tastes, so she is continually licking and biting at it in order to keep on tasting it. I would be careful to make sure that she isn't actually ripping out any of the carpet and trying to swallow it. A significant amount of carpet that is eaten and swallowed can result in some severe gastrointestinal issues. I would consider washing or shampooing the carpet in an attempt to see if this stops Harlie from continuing this behavior. You should also make sure that she has enough toys and other chew-things to play with as a deterrent. I would also consider using something like a bitter apple spray on the parts of the carpet she seems to like the most. Some dogs hate the smell and taste of that stuff and will shy away from everything if this is the case. Hope this helps.

Chewing on lots of things, including human hands and clothing, is completely normal behavior for a puppy this age - this is how puppies explore the world, and how they instinctively want to play. She will grow out of this behavior as she gets older, but there are some things you can do in the meantime that will help. Make sure that your pup has a variety of different toys to provide an appropriate outlet for this behavior - long floppy rope or fleece toys for tugging, plush toys for biting and carrying, and smaller toys or balls for chasing and fetching. She should also have lots of different chews and long-lasting treats to chew on such as bully sticks, large rawhide chews, cow or pig ears, and puzzle toys like a Kong stuffed with peanut butter. You will need to keep your belongings put away out of her reach for now, just like you would with a toddler or small child. For furniture or other items that can't be put away, you can use Bitter Apple spray to make them taste bad, which should help to discourage her from chewing on them. If you are playing with her and she bites you, just redirect her to one of her toys and use that to play with her instead. If she bites your hands when you pet her, calmly stop petting and wait for her to settle down. I would not recommend restraining her against her will, or pinching her ear to punish her for this behavior - these techniques often make things worse by causing frustration, and do not help her to understand what you want. In addition, doing things like this may cause her to be afraid of being picked up or handled, since she associates pain and discomfort with these things. Just be patient and calm, and redirect her to appropriate things to chew as needed - this behavior will go away on its own with age :)

I see that Hachi is still just a puppy, only 8 months old. It's normal for him to still need a lot of supervision at this age, just like a human toddler. This will improve as he gets older, but for now, you need to continue watching him closely and confining him in a puppy-proofed area when you aren't able to supervise. Providing him with plenty of his own things to chew on (bully sticks, rawhide chews, puzzle toys such as a Kong stuffed with peanut butter, etc.) will also help, but mostly it's just a matter of time and maturity. Many dogs are at least 1-2 years old before they can be trusted to be loose in the house without someone watching them, so be patient.

Yikes! It is perfectly normal for puppies to chew, and it is important to provide them with appropriate toys to chew on. Even if she has a lot of toys and chews Zoe might still be attracted to this area of the floor however. I would recommend keeping her crated or confined to another puppy proofed area whenever you are not directly supervising her. If you think she may have eaten larger pieces of the floor you should watch for signs of an obstruction like vomiting or a decrease in appetite.

Chewing is very normal at her age. Dogs do not mature mentally until about 2 years old so expect this behavior will continue until them. Crate training will help and she should be crated any time you are not physically watching her. Also, there is not a way you can try Skyler not to chew everything she should not and the best you can do is provide CONSTANT supervision.

Unfortunately this is a common problem in puppies, but luckily there are many things you can do to help stop it. Redirecting him to appropriate toys and providing praise for when he chooses the correct things to chew on can help.

This is very common for this age since they are starting to lose their baby teeth and get their adult teeth at this time. Make sure he has plenty of chew toys and bones to play with. I like plain flat raw hides. They can have one a day. If there is something particular he is chewing on, you can put a dab of Tabasco or bitter apple spray to prevent the chewing. This will sometimes helps. When you aren't able to monitor him I would put him in a crate so he doesn't chew something that might harm him. Give him some time as he won't feel the need to do this forever. I hope this helps!
