I have a three-month-old Pomeranian which tries to chew everything from footwear to people’s hands and feet, and sometimes, even clothes! She gets aggressive if I try to pull something away from her. What should I do?
Chewing is common among young puppies because of their strong desire to explore. As they grow older, this tendency reduces and they are less likely to be destructive. Until then, prevent access to footwear, clothes etc and instead, provide him with chewy toys. Exercise and play with your dog regularly to ensure he gets to spend his energy and also provide positive interaction. Keep an edible item like a bitter apple around so that he is not tempted to chew.
