What to do if your dog chews furniture?
Dog owners at a certain point begin to complain that their pets chew everything and do not know how to stop their dog from chewing furniture. There is an explanation for any animal behavior.
Often the problem occurs for the following reasons:
- boring;
- health problems;
- fear of loneliness;
- natural instinct.
It's not that difficult to stop your pet from sharpening furniture.
The puppy bites things and furniture when it starts teething. So provide him with an alternative and always make sure he has something to bite.
Usually, bone-shaped teeth sharpeners, which can be bought at any pet store, come to the rescue. It is better to choose toys made of thick rubber. To help your puppy get used to the bone faster, rub it with a piece of sausage.
If the furniture is touched by an adult pet, this may indicate the occurrence of caries, tartar, and inflammation of the gums. In this case, you need to check the animal’s teeth yourself and take it to the veterinarian.
Main signs of dental diseases:
- bad breath;
- yellow plaque on teeth;
- reddened gums.
Another way to wean your pet from a bad habit is proper punishment. This works for both small dogs and adults.
Recommendations for raising pets:
- Praise your pet when he plays with his toys.
- At the moment when the dog is chewing the furniture, distract him with rustling noise, a toy, or sound. But not after he has just done his job, otherwise the pet will think that this is some kind of game.
- Only punish your dog during a crime. Say "Ew" and slap her on the ass. You should not hit the puppy in the face.
- The punishment must be effective the first time.
- Keep an eye on your pet, punish him on time and regularly.
- Be patient.

I just took some tape and stuck it on the wire with the sticky side facing out. my dog went to chew the wire, but there was a surprise waiting for her; the tape began to stick to her paws and muzzle. She doesn't touch the wires anymore. 8. Anastasia Dashkina Thank you very much, it works. True, I don’t use a chain, but keys, but it also shy away and stops doing it.

Our dachshund is 3.5 months old. For 1.5 months he has been persistently gnawing on the wires in the house. Scolding doesn't help. Weakness is beyond him :) But we urgently need to wean him off this disgrace!! Because we are soon moving to a renovated apartment, where all sockets are 10 cm from the floor. I’m afraid to imagine how long it will take us to be left without equipment, light and telephone :091:
Share your successful stories in this regard, please!
