More on puppy biting: My Puppy Keeps Chewing What Do I Do?
First, always keep in mind that it is natural for a puppy to chew. The puppy is not doing
this to annoy you, but because it is a normal function of a puppy, just as it is in a human
baby. Keep this in mind, and be sure not to ever hit or strongly punish the puppy for
doing what is natural to it. Everything goes into the mouth, and everything is chewed.
Chew Toys!
What we need to do is to teach the puppy what is correct to chew on, and what is not. Be
sure to supply your puppy with a variety of toys that are permissible for it to chew.
Nylabones are excellent, but stay away from the ones with the sharp points on them.
Watch carefully! When the knobs on the end are gone, you have to throw it away. There
is also a Nylaring that costs a little more but lasts a lot longer. In recent years,
manufacturers are making bones out of vegetables and meat flavors.
