Learning how to train a dog not to chew is really quite simple. Before you begin training your dog not to chew, you need to understand that all dogs tend to chew, since they need to chew.

With that said, you need to ensure that you have a number of things that are acceptable for your dog to chew on. This is very important as your dog will be able to recognize this area as his or her spot for chewing on the toys.

It is also important to note that you must never thrash or beat your dog if you find him or her chewing on something it is not supposed to. Remember that dog only listen and respond well to rewards so you should praise your dog for chewing on something that it is allowed to chew. If your dog chews on things that it should not have been chewing on, then reprimand it verbally with the tone of your voice.

Another way to train your dog not to chew to chew on certain things is to put a taste deterrent called “bitter apple” which you can get easily on most pet stores on those items. This method is quite effective because your dog won’t like the taste of “bitter apple”!
