Chewing on things?

Chewing is the sign of lack of attention or something else. Obviously, the owners are not giving the attention. If you understand the dog's mentality and psychological practices and see where their mind is focusing. Chewing is the way to express that they are upset, anxious or taking it out on their owners. I gave my dogs attentions as much as I can, they rarely chew anything else but their own dog toys. I am happy with it. I take them to tag along with me for fun, walk around the block, walk at a park - they get aroused, excited and thrilled. That makes themselves feeling good. Giving them some treats every time they finish their poops. That helps dog's focus better. I have seen dogs chewing everything else in others house, I gave them advices and the dogs chewed less and less. Give it a time to shift the dog's focus to positive side.

my little corgi likes to chew socks, sneakers my wife's underwear and bras, usually the more expensive one's. He doesnt touch the cheap ones. i dont get it.

Dogs r like kids, if u let them get away with things when they r young, they think they can do it forever. Kids soother, blanky etc., dogs -furniture, clothes. u get the idea. When a puppy is teething the gums r sore, just like young children. They grab things to chew on so the skin breaks to allow teeth to grow. When they pick up the wrong thing to chew on replace it with something that they can chew on. Sometimes this can be a long drawn out process untill they understand they must chew on the things that u want them to chew on, ie. tree branch, chew toys or a piece of leather wrapped around foam, tree branch or something acceptable.. Remember always luv/ care your dog/ pet, they will always luv u..

Mine did when both of them was a puppies. Both chew on shoes, rug and also the wall. When I see that they are doing something naughty, I would tell them no. It took about 1 week to train them and a lot of chew toys.

Yeah mine does, she chews the rug and the sofa's. She licks them mostly now, but they are still all torn lol. We tried a few times to put nasty tasting things on things she took and chewed, like childrens toys but she just seemed to like the taste and it had no effect!
