* Don’t punish your dog for chewing. Your dog is chewing because he is anxious and punishing him may make him even more nervous.
* Provide lots of alternative objects to chew – such as dog toys and bones.
* Praise your dog when it chews appropriate objects.
* As far as possible, remove any items that your dog is likely to chew inappropriately.
* When your dog chews an inappropriate item, redirect them to a more appropriate item.
* Teach your dog the “leave” command, so that they will drop an item that they are chewing on command.
* Spend more time with the dog.
* Do everything possible to remove any cause for anxiety, loneliness or boredom.
* Ensure that your dog has lots of things to play with to alleviate boredom.
* Ensure that your dog’s environment is comfortable and makes it feel safe.
* Use special spray to make furniture repellant and to stop dog chewing directed at cabinets and other pieces.
* When something happens that is likely to cause your dog anxiety (such as moving or renovations to the house), spend more time than usual with your dog and give it extra praise for chewing the right objects
