Understanding puppy teething is crucial for managing chewing behavior. Puppies chew to relieve discomfort during teething.
Offer a variety of safe and durable chew toys to redirect your puppy's chewing instincts away from household items.
Supervise your puppy during chewing sessions to ensure they don't swallow any small pieces that could be harmful.
Use positive reinforcement to encourage your puppy to chew on appropriate toys. Praise and reward them when they make the right choice.
If your puppy starts chewing on inappropriate objects, redirect their attention to a suitable chew toy.
Offer frozen chew treats or ice cubes to soothe your teething puppy's gums and discourage destructive chewing.
Avoid punishing your puppy for chewing. Instead, focus on redirecting their behavior and providing positive alternatives.
