Dogs love to bite and chew…. Everything and something else!
When he adopts a new puppy and takes him home, he’ll realize that he’ll initially nibble at everything in sight. There are some reasons why this should happen:

- Teeth growth! It doesn’t matter if it’s a baby or a puppy, the fact is that biting during the appearance of the teeth relieves.
- Some dogs bite to reduce anxiety. My Olivia, for example, while I was a little girl, gnawed on my living room mat every time I left home to relieve the anxiety of the separation I felt!
- Boring
The goal is not to make your bigeye stop completely biting and biting – because after all, biting is a natural canine behavior that has associated benefits. It helps keep the jaw muscles strong, teeth clean, fights boredom and relieves anxiety. They just need to be taught about what is appropriate to bite. Read what you must do and avoid in order to end destructive biting behavior!

Whether you have a puppy with growing teeth, or an adult dog that continues to bite and destroy everything that appears before you, the first thing to do, is to make your home proof of this kind of behavior.

One of the ways to do this is not to leave objects scattered around the house – keep your shoes, pick up and store the children’s toys, hide the electric wires and keep them out of reach. Be especially careful not to leave human food within the reach of dogs because there are some types of food that can be harmful to you or even deadly. In addition, be extremely careful with medicines, plants and cleaning products.

2. Offer toys to bite or bones suitable for biting
Make sure your big guy has at his disposal several toys and bones suitable for him to bite and bite. If he has a good selection of things to bite and bite, it will be less likely to bite the leg of the dining room table or his new shoes.
3. Focus on Mental Stimulation
Work your stepfather’s mind with interactive toys and puzzles. The puzzles work as follows: it puts little bits of food inside toys (puzzles) developed for this purpose and its bigeye will spend a lot trying to figure out how to get those tasty little pieces of food out of them.

If he is mentally stimulated and physically tired, it will be less likely to be looking for things to entertain himself.

7. Get Professional Help If Needed

If you don’t surprise your bigeye or just come across the result of your “work”, don’t scold him. Your daddy won’t know why you yell at him, since you won’t be able to establish a causal link.
10. Never arrest His Mouth!

This will only increase your stress level, causing you frustration and may end up in depression. If you can’t take it anymore, take our advice: get professional help.
