1. Redirect their attention. If your puppy is chewing on something they shouldn't, try to redirect their attention to something else, like a toy or treat. This will help them to forget about what they were chewing on and focus on something else.
2. Remove the object. If you can safely remove the object from your puppy's mouth, do so. Be careful not to hurt your puppy's mouth or teeth.
3. Use a bitter spray. There are a number of bitter sprays available that can be used to deter puppies from chewing on things. These sprays are typically made with natural ingredients, like apple cider vinegar or citrus, and they are safe for your puppy to ingest.
4. Time-out. If your puppy is repeatedly chewing on something they shouldn't, you may need to put them in time-out. This will help them to learn that chewing on things they shouldn't has negative consequences.
5. Positive reinforcement. When your puppy chews on something they are supposed to, like a toy, be sure to praise them. This will help them to learn what you want them to do.
Here are some additional tips for preventing your puppy from chewing on things they shouldn't:
* Provide your puppy with plenty of chew toys. Puppies chew because they are teething, so it is important to provide them with plenty of things to chew on. This will help to redirect their chewing from your belongings to their toys.
* Keep your puppy away from things they shouldn't chew on. If there are certain things in your home that you don't want your puppy to chew on, make sure to keep them out of reach. This will help to prevent your puppy from getting into trouble.
* Supervise your puppy at all times. Puppies are curious creatures and they will explore everything they can get their paws on. This means that it is important to supervise your puppy at all times to prevent them from chewing on things they shouldn't.
* Be patient. Puppies are still learning what they are and aren't supposed to do. It takes time and patience to train them to behave appropriately. Don't get discouraged if your puppy doesn't learn right away. Just keep at it and eventually they will get the hang of it.
