How do I stop a puppy from chewing?

My LOla (a 7 month German shepherd) will start school next week. Yesterday the teacher came to talk with me and I learned more about dogs while we had a cup of coffee that I had learned in all my life. Our dogs are changing their teeth. Lola is going to chew away my house if she doesnt change teeth soon. . I also talked about Lola being timid when she was outside (there´s nothing timid in her at home though). He said that dogs had to be trained to accept other dogs barks, the sounds of cars, the passing persons as a matter of course. And that could be done but lessons could not be over 30 minutes as dogs get bored. The last important thing was that while she was learning (and forever) she had to learn who was the boss. It had nothing to do with love. Wild dogs always have a leader and they need one. We must be the leaders of ours. I hope this helps

well first you could put her on a leash, or better yet buy her a toy that she can chew all the time. i have a dog too and when he was a puppy would do the same thing. well we put him on a leash, and bought him toys, up until now he is on leash, he's a huge dog now more than two years old, and whatever he chews are really destroyed.

I'm very familiar with this as I have had dogs of all types my whole life. The best thing you can do for your puppy is to understand that you have a working breed of dog. rotweilers were bred to be hurding dogs, cart dogs (meaning the pulled small carts for their owners to help carry things), and protecting families and children. Ok now that that is out of the way your puppy may be chewing excessively because it is teething dogs most definately loose their puppy teeth just like babies. But however if she is just chewing because she is bored there is a fix for that as well. as you may know or have found out dealing with your pup she is very smart. The breed is one of the smartest period. You need to walk her everyday so that you can tire her down some. they have a lot of engergy because they were created to work. thus they have a high energy level. walk and run her often. take her bike riding with you, dont tire her tooooo much though make sure she has water and stuff like that. Just give her something to do. If she is satisfied in that way it will definately help, when a dog has dont something and are no longer bored they dont focus on chewing up everything. Also you could teach her how to do tricks. if you havent already started you should be teaching her how to sit stay beg roll over things that like that will keep her intelectually happy. you will find that dog agility may help as well. play fetch with her or something like that. Also i would recommend if you dont already watch the dog whisperer on national geographic you should tune in. he goes into detail of how to train your dog in a way that actually works instead of using human tactics on a dog. i mean dogs are dogs now humans thats why most types of training done work because they dont take into account that a dog is a dog and you have to appeal to their animalistic needs. If you dont have cable or satelite you can find dog whisperer videos on the internet, cesar milan (the dog whisperer) also has books that are great. he has a pack of over 50 dogs and he is very inteligent (most of his pack are rotweilers or rotty mixes) so he can help you to understand how to approach this. So get his books, watch the show or some videos online (by the way he does not in any way hurt animals or promote harmful treatment, he simply understands dogs and how their mind works). I hope this helps feel free to contact me if you need to know more.

My dog also came from that when he still a puppy. And i think that all dogs had gone on that. My dog ate our flip-flops, rags, and our clothes. But after he had grown he had stop chewing thing :P I may recommend you that teach him/her to stop it by may be a light spank while teaching him/her and showing him/her what he/she just chewed :p or may you can buy a raw hide so that the only thing he/she chews

First of all... hang in there, they grow out of it :) be diligent in puppy proofing your house at night and times when you are away. When you see the puppy pick up something she is going to chew, take it out of her mouth and replace it with something she is allowed to chew. Say NO, firmly, but dont hit her. If you hit her for things she does wrong, she will become afraid of you and it will not help with her timid issues she already has. Keep getting her out in public (make sure her shots are up to date) around other dogs at off leash parks, or just in normal walks. Soothe her when she tucks tail over things that she doesnt need to be afraid of, but REMEMBER.. a good dose of fear keeps your dog out of the road and from running away, etc. So dont soothe her if a car startles her, etc. GOOD LUCK!!
