Chewing and Teething for Puppies

Puppies chew because their mouths hurt and they’re learning your rules. Redirect, don’t punish.

Fix it fast (60 seconds)

Keep one approved chew with you.

Redirect immediately (trade for a treat if needed).

Freeze a KONG and give it before you sit down.

Rotate chews so they stay interesting.

Crate/tether when you can’t supervise.
