  3. The very first command I taught my dog, even before LOOK AT ME and SIT was the LEAVE IT command.  That really helped with the urge to chew.  He was also almost done teething when I adopted him from the shelter.  Now he chews on the toys I give him, or sometimes my clothes if I’m stupid enough to leave them on the floor.  Thankfully, playing fetch for a good 30 min every morning and evening plus running through our tricks and learning new ones has helped a lot with controlling unwanted chewing.

  4. heh, I was just really lucky and my puppy was never a chewer, even when teething.  She was a Sheltie, and she just was never interested in anything to do with chewing.   Fetching on the other hand, she just did completely naturally with no training!

  5. We have a chihuahua who loved to chew when he was a puppy. After we had him neutered, he stopped chewing and he’s been the best dog we’ve ever had.

  6. I have a 4-5 month old puppy, we don’t know his breed since he is mixed and he was a rescue. He has so much energy and lately he’s been very fuzzy and has started to chew on our furniture. He’s a smart dog and  he understands us when we tell him NO but he still continues to do it 🙁

  7. Regarding the chew toy suggestions:  A baby toy–a stuffed butterfly–was left in our yard accidentally, so I gave it to the dog.  The baby toy is intact after weeks of puppy (9 months) chewing while regular stuffed animals haven’t lasted more than a couple hours. As an added bonus, the butterfly has something crinkly inside the wings, which the dog loves.  I never thought about baby toys being more durable.  There are also plastic parts, but I’ve removed them.

    My bad:  it’s actually a firefly!  http://www.amazon.com/Lamaze-Play-Freddie-Firefly-Along/dp/B000I2Q0F4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414541748&sr=8-1&keywords=baby+butterfly+toy

  8. I have a dog and when he was a puppy and used to chew stuff up, me or my mum, whoever discovered it would just tell him “no, bad boy” and eventually he would just drag things on the floor but not destroy them. Then if we went out to him in his room and everything was where it should be, we’d praise him and treat him and then he stopped doing it altogether. We also did the same thing when he weed on the floor, we’d say “bad boy” and put him out into the yard and if he weed there he’d get praised and treats 🙂

  9. My 135 lb 4 year old Cane Corso had a favorite toy. It’s a stuffed hedge hog with a grunting sound. It’s quite touching watching this giant dog loving so child like a toy. He is still such an innocent baby boy.

  10. My terrier/collie or cattle dog (not sure) is 9 months old and he has ALWAYS chewed. Trash, paper, blankets, the couch, my hands, my shirt. EVERYTHING. I’ve tried putting him outside for time out. I’ve tried to scold him. I’ve even come to a point of whipping his butt just hard enough to get my point across! He either starts chewing on me instead or just ignores me! He’s even starting to lift up his lips and showing his teeth at me when I try to take the things away or even scold him!

  11. What if you dont have time to train your dog like me the only one in the family who really cares on my dog and sometimes get nervous whenever i leave them

  12. I have a puppy chow chow… she chews my patio deck when she is left unattended outside. After hearing your video I will make sure I will be there when she goes out. She has chew toys but she prefers my patio deck lol I always tend to her when she is in the house so I have no problems inside the house. Thank you for your video!!!!!

  13. I feel like everyone in the comments section is ignoring the fact that he said you should be watching your puppy ALL THE TIME. my puppy is constantly chewing on things he’s not supposed to but he’s in the crate or in the kitchen (away from carpet) if I’m too busy to stop him. Train your dogs to love their crate and I promise your lives will get a whole lot easier. Hope this helps.

  16. How do you feel about timeouts??? This was very helpful and I will start to incorporate this in our daily routine. It’s very easy for us to lash out at our dogs, 9mo malamute/husky and 17mo cur/heeler. They have been very destructive and I fear we might have to give them away but I hope these tips can turn that around. They love to eat fabric like bed sheets/towels, plastic and mulch.

  18. My 9 month old dog doesn’t react to when I snap my fingers or clap my hands. He just keeps on chewing on the carpet and snapping at us if we try to take him away. I really need your help

    4. Same, and it is so frustrating listening to people like Zak act like it’s so freaking easy. I’d love to see him tell my puppy or any puppy look at me or clap and actually get her attention while she’s chewing the rug and then just be content with a toy she already had access to and decided not to use. What a condescending and insulting attitude he has hereb

    5. @Ryan Heuer my puppy chews everything and gets a snap of a finger and and a no but he still does not listen he looks at me then continues. And he is 6 months and i don’t wanna have him on a 6 feet leash feels like I’m abusing him😂

  20. I have a 9month old puppy that we had kennel trained and we started leaving outside his kennel to allow for “exercise” through his day while we are at work. He was awesome the first week or so and then he started chewing on shoes, books, window sills and boxes… I’m loosing it ..
