Correcting Canine Behaviors: Why Destructive Chewing Is The Most Frustrating Canine Behavior Problem

Canine behaviors such as mouth biting, excessive barking, and jumping on furniture and people are practically dogs that look like dogs. But since dogs live among humans, they follow our rules. So we humans train dogs to forget about canine behaviors, including destructive chewing on our stuff.

The rules of engagement: dogs chew your stuff; Dogs DO NOT chew human things.

the ultimate frustration
Thank you so much, so you CAN stop your dog from leaving teeth marks on everything he owns and shredding the morning paper. One more second with the author’s cell phone and Simon the Cockapoo would have destroyed that critical part where the upload takes place.

An accident waiting to happen is chewing on an electrical cord and just as dangerous, stealing and carrying a pair of reading glasses. That chase nearly ended in disaster!

And the ultimate frustration: waiting for a battery to show up in dog poop after the pup chewed up the remote AND swallowed the battery. The battery turned up (outside the dog) hours before surgery was scheduled to remove it.

The best way to handle dog behavior problems
The BEST way to handle destructive chewing: PREVENT it from happening in the first place. There are at least 7 ways to prevent dogs from biting: the most obvious is to keep human things out of the reach of dogs (not as easy as it seems).

And what if the bastard chews your credit card into useless bits of plastic? So CORRECTING the dog’s behavioral problems is his responsibility. You must get your dog to comply with your rules of behavior.
