If your puppy has started chewing on furniture, don’t worry — this is completely normal behavior, especially at a young age. Here are some tips to help you deal with it:

1. Offer alternatives.
Buy special chew toys for your puppy. This will help redirect their attention from furniture to safe objects.

2. Use anti-chew sprays.
You can find sprays in pet stores that make surfaces unpleasant to chew but are safe for your puppy. These can be a great addition to your training.

3. Set clear boundaries.
Every time your puppy tries to chew furniture, firmly say “no” and immediately give them a toy. Consistency is key.

4. More activity and playtime.
Just like small children, puppies can become destructive when bored. Spend more time playing and going for walks so they don’t look for entertainment in your furniture.

5. Avoid harsh punishment.
If your puppy chews the corner of the couch, don’t yell or punish them. Dogs don’t associate punishment with past actions. Instead, calmly redirect their attention to a toy.

6. Strengthen your bond.
The more time you spend with your pet, the more trust you build. Your puppy will start to see your company as more fun than the furniture!

Patience and consistency are the keys to success! 💪🐕‍🦺
