Benefits of Chewing Training for Puppies

The most common problem with abandoned puppies is their tendency to bite indiscriminately.

Establishing good habits after bringing a puppy home can prevent such issues.

Chewing training not only relieves the physiological need of teething in puppies but also helps them get used to being alone and peacefully spend their day.

Selection of Chewing Objects

Each dog has a different nature, and they prefer different things to chew on.

Let your dog try different chewing toys or food to find what interests them.

1.Toy selection

Rope balls or balls are good choices to pave the way for future sports games.

Silicone toys that can be stuffed with food are also a good choice. As the dog chews, food will fall out, increasing the dog’s interest in chewing.

It should be noted that many toys on the market are replaced with children’s toys. Consider whether small parts and paint chips will fall off when the dog chews, causing harm to the dog.

2.Food selection

(1) Bones, but avoid hard bones that have been boiled.

After the dog breaks it, it can form a spike that injures the dog’s stomach. Choosing large bones that are relatively soft and can grind teeth is better.

If the owner and the dog are willing, raw bones are the best choice, don’t worry about bone spikes, they can be pre-frozen before feeding to the dog.

(2) Cowhide or pigskin: you can try to make it yourself or buy it.

What can chewing training bring?

Chewing relieves stress and avoids excessive anxiety

Dogs need something to do when they face tense things or are left alone at home, killing their time. After the dog is busy, he rests quietly, so he doesn’t have time to do bad behaviors and become a troublesome problem dog.

Relieve the troubles of teething

Puppies during teething will have itchy gums, so they often find things to chew to relieve the discomfort in their mouths.

If the dog has something to chew on, the items in the house will not be damaged.

Let the dog get used to being alone and do his own thing

Chewing is a private activity for dogs. If dogs are used to chewing alone, they will not be immersed in the mood of loneliness, which can prevent them from feeling lonely and become more independent.

This method can greatly alleviate the dog’s separation anxiety.

Prepare for the “you throw I pick” game

Teaching dogs to pick up balls is a good game, which can not only increase intimacy with dogs, but also consume the dog’s excess energy in moderation.

The first step in training is to make the dog interested in the ball. At this time, chewing training can make the dog interested in the toy thrown by the owner.
