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

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.

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.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Usually these behaviors can be corrected but this usually needs in person training by a qualified dog trainer. I recommend you consider hiring a qualified dog trainer to work with you in person. You can try using positive reinforcement by focusing on the positive meaning when he listens to you and stops chewing you start rewarding him with treats and praise. Most of the time when that is done consistently, it tends to help significantly. Good luck and have a good day!

To keep dogs entertained for a longer period of time, I like to feed dehydrated chews. My largest dogs prefers bully sticks (https://www.bestbullysticks.com/4-inch-odor-free-bully-sticks) and my smaller dog loves dehydrated fish skins (https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/beams). They also like dehydrated sweet potato chews like Sam's Yams, but I might do something smaller for Jasper like their Bichon Fries (https://www.frontporchpets.com/sam-s-yams-bichon-fries-new-larger-size-12-5-oz.html). There are a large number of dehydrated chews on the market now, so you might ask at your local pet store to see if they have any suggestions for you. Please let me know if that was helpful.
