Even an ordinary Golden  retriever can tear that thick bone apart really fast. That is because a  dog has some of the strongest jaw muscles among animals. And that is  why it can become a problem that they can do the same to the furniture  too.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  The chewing tendency of a dog is going to depend upon his breed and  that is why a knowledgeable owner needs to know about the behavior  patterns of his dog. However, chewing every object which is present in  the house is a normal tendency in every existing dog breed. That is the  reason why one has to focus the dog's attention on some other object  upon which they can chew. But that is quite a difficult thing to do  with some dogs.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  There are younger dogs (mostly puppies) that will have a greater  tendency to chew with less discrimination regarding what they choose.  However, even young puppies can be discouraged from grabbing things  their owners would prefer the dogs stayed away from.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Foremost, it is important to point out that a little prevention can  help avoid a number of problems. That is why it is wise to keep shoes,  laundry and other items where dogs will be unable to gain access to  them. Keeping children's toys separated from the dog's toys so mix ups  do not occur is a good idea.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  It is important to maintain an attractive variety of toys available and  keep them indoors or outdoors so the dog may chew on them. Rawhide  bones are very attractive to a number of dogs while other breeds will  prefer hard rubber or unique plastic dental bones. With rare exception,  giving the dog a real bone is often not a good idea. Oversized beef  bones are usually safe, but chicken and pork bones are known to easily  splinter which can lead to injury.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Nevertheless, there are plenty of toys made especially for dogs and  some of them have treats in hollow interiors. A dog needs to work  really hard to get to the treat and not only is it going to have a good  physical and mental workout, but it is going to get a treat reward at  the end of the activity.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  It also does not hurt to take a firm tone with the dog when it grabs an  unsuitable object such as socks or shoes. However, it is extremely  unwise to yell or deliver hard physical punishment. Rather than yell,  you will need to vent your frustrations elsewhere. Yes, this can be  easier said than done but it must be followed in order to maintain the  harmony of the owner/pet relationship. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  The development of specific habits can be done by leashing the dog.  Then an unsuitable object has to be placed near the dog. The moment,  the dog approaches it, the leash should be jerked sideways, and No said  very firmly.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Always be sure to jerk sideways and never back. A dog's neck muscles  are very strong, but the dog's throat can be easily bruised. Remember,  the pulling movement is to inform and definitely not to punish.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  If when outside the dog has a tendency to chew on plants, fences, or  other exterior items, you can take advantage of a few commercial  mixtures or home recipes to discourage such bad behavior. A little  cayenne pepper paste smeared on the leaves of plants the dog is  attracted to can generally eliminate chewing in merely one lesson.  Then, there are commercial preparations which contain 'bitter apple'  which has been known to discourage a number of dogs. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Successful dog training can only be done with consistency, patience and  a lot of persistence. The idea behind stopping chewing is not to start  a new behavior pattern, but to &amp;amp;quot;suppress&amp;amp;quot; a natural behavior pattern.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  Often, redirecting the dog to acceptable objects is the best bet since  it is impossible to eliminate the dog's instincts. That is why it is  necessary to be calm and vigilant. Keep your cool even when the dog  chews on the new carpet. Objects can be replaced. A good relationship  with a pet cannot.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;font-style: italic&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  			About the Author:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  			&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;With decades of working in the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.dogtrainingbasicsonline.com/&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dog Training and Care&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; field, Terry Zinndell can also help you with questions about picking the right &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.dogbeddingstore.com/index.php?cPath=1&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dog Bedding&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; for your dog.
