Important Points:
Puppies like babies love to chew.
However you need to make it very clear what your puppy can and can’t chew. Puppies don’t
chew to upset you or get you angry however if you over react by chasing them shouting
and making a real fuss then they may think it is a good game!
Even a puppy can see the funny side of winding you up a little!
Be gentle with very young puppies.
With everything here it is important to realise that an 8 week old puppy should be treated
with more tolerance that a 7 month old!
With an 8 week old you should really focus on setting your puppy up to win by removing
the object it is chewing or placing your puppy in an safe enclosed space where it is surrounded
by toys!
So many people struggle in this area yet it is actually very straight forward.
1. When you puppy starts to chew something it shouldn’t simply move her away using
her collar. Do not say a word.
2. If the puppy has the item in its mouth then take it out calmly and confidently without
3. As you move her away, redirect her onto something that she can chew like a toy.
4. If she leaves her toy and goes back to chewing that which you don’t want her to
5. Repeat a few times and then isolate your puppy if she refuses to stop chewing.
6. Puppies learn from consequences of their actions….Your puppy will soon learn what
to chew and what not to.

Important concepts
• You must stay calm. Do not speak, touch or look at your puppy. When you do this any
attention is going to reinforce the behaviour.
• Stay very calm and use low energy so move slowly.
• Prevention is far better than cure. So avoid leaving the items around on the floor
that your puppy loves to chew. It is a very practical way of avoiding the problem.
• Show your puppy what she can chew by giving her all her toys either by hand into her mouth
with the words “This is for Bella” or by putting them in her cage.
• Think of it like this…..You are not trying to stop the chewing – just redirect
it!
The most common mistakes
1. Forgetting to redirect the puppy and give it something else to chew.
2. Shouting at the puppy because it is easier in the short term.
3. Speaking and telling her off and therefore giving her lots of attention.
Additional information from Dog Training Chicago IL
• Rotate your puppies toys so that they do not get bored of them.
• Try to give your puppy very soft toys that it can get her teeth into – not just
hard plastic ones.
• Often a wet T-towel can be just as much fun as an expensive toy.
• Having a safe play pen area for really young puppies is great – it becomes their
world where they can chew whatever they like!
