My 8 month old rottweiler puppy chews everything, how can I stop him?

1 Answer

Answer :

You cannot stop his chewing, but what you can do is give him something he is allowed to chew – something more tasty and/or interesting than the valuable items you don’t want him to destroy. You can ask the butcher at your market for some bones. Or get a Kong; they’re great. Make sure he always has something like this available – preferably 2 or 3. And if you catch him chewing something you don’t want destroyed, just redirect his attention to the bone/Kong.
