My baby likes to chew on shoes, what%26#039;s the best way to tell him to not to chew things like that?
Whenever you catch him chewing on things that he shouldn%26#039;t you should immediately correct him by saying no in a clear strong voice and take the object away from him and as soon as you do have something to give him that is ok for him to have and chew like a dog toy. Do not confuse him by letting him chew on old shoes or ones that you dont care about. A dog does not know the difference between junk and the expensive stuff. Do not %26quot;play%26quot; with him with your feet. This makes your feet and whatever they are housed in into toys. Be consistant. Do not let him do things sometimes when you are in a good mood and them get on to him later when you are not.


As far as the other stuff... there are tons of good dog training books on the market as well as dog trainers and training classes.


Good luck... consistancy is the key!

Reply:First off...has the dog been to obedience class? If not, consider enrolling.


Chewing of shoes...spray them with %26quot;Bitter Apple%26quot; or some kind of %26quot;Doggie Off%26quot; spray that you can get at the pet store. They don%26#039;t like the taste and won%26#039;t chew.


Anytime you want to train your dog to do something you have to use a positive approach. When he does what you want, give him a treat or his favorite toy.


It sounds to me (I am not trying to be critical) that the dog has no discipline and therefore you both need classes. The classes are actually there to teach the owners, not the dogs. You have to be consistent in all you do.


Good luck

Reply:Dogs like to chew and explore things with their mouths. I have a website that has a page all about dogs and chewing. Check it out, it might help.

Reply:The best way to train dogs is to use small dog treats. You set aside practice time to practice the commands you want him to learn. For instance, at night take 15 mins to turn off the t.v. and get out the treats. Hold some in your hand. Command the dog to sit - you have to say it in a commanding tone - not a mommy tone. When he obeys, praise him like crazy and give him a treat! Keep doing this. He%26#039;ll easily learn what he needs to do for treats.





As for the shoes, there is a no chew spray you can buy at Petsmart that is a bitter flavor. Anything you spray with that, the dog won%26#039;t chew because it tastes yucky. Dogs have a natural urge to chew so the best thing you can do is buy a rawhide bone and create a small bed in your family room. The dog will love chewing on the bone and it%26#039;s great for their dental health. Plus, giving them something ELSE to chew on will discourage them from chewing on other inappropriate things.
Reply:well..i think that you should try and give him a chewing toy to chew on..he might be teething
