I just gave my phone case to my mean dog to chew to pieces because I’m sick of him chewing on everything else . My shoes, my jacket, my armchair, the TV remote control. I don’t think there’s anything around here that he hasn’t gotten his paws and fangs on. I have no clue why he does this or what causes him to do it . As a puppy he chewed on a lot of things but I just thought that he was teething, I thought once his teeth came in he would be fine . I tried yelling at him about it but it was a part of his everyday life so it was a trying habit to attempt to break . I grabbed him as if his mother would grab him when he was bad, by the back of the neck, but that didn’t stop him from chewing on my $150 pair of Steve Maddens . I don’t know what to do. Other than that, he’s a really good dog. He’s sweet and friendly. When I walk him through the park, he always runs off to go play with any children he finds. I have never seen the dog bite a person or even growl at anyone, he is always smiling and happy . We can go for walks without the collar and leash and he will stay right by me unless I tell him that he can go run off to play . It’s only this whole chewing thing that I have a problem with. Should I send him to some obedience school? Be stricter? I don’t know. I’ve heard there are pet therapists that have sessions with dogs and cats and such. Maybe I should look him up.
