| Dogs need to chew to relieve stress and excess energy. In fact, puppy
teething is a natural part of development. If your dog chews on something that
is off-limits, say "no" or "eh" in a low voice. Then give your dog a safe chew
toy. Praise him for good behavior. Remember to give your dog safe chew toys instead
of old household items like old shoes, because that could encourage him to also
chew on new shoes. You will also want to avoid rough play and games like "tug
of war" as this will encourage aggressive behavior. -------------------------------------------------
