Don't trust that look of innocence. If your carpet has become puppy's latest chew toy, don't despair. Chances are he just discovered it and is making the most of the new thing by chewing it to his heart's content. You don't have to put up with it or get mean. A bit of training should suffice. Bad behavior, such as chewing on carpet, is often the result of your dog having too much energy. Don't assume that because he has access to a fenced yard or you take him on a walk every day that your dog is getting enough exercise. Best Answer: There is a bitter apple spray that you can use to spray on the things he chews on. They dont like the taste so eventually they will stop chewing. Look at the bottle though because there are certain things that you can not spray it on. What are your dog's chewing habits. Aggressive chewers will tear toys apart, and if the toy comes apart, he could swallow the pieces or choke on them. Give aggressive chewers durable, hard rubber or nylon toys. Semi-aggressive chews don't usually tear toys apart, but will chew enough to cause wear on a toy. Leave out chew toys – lots and lots of chew toys. Remember that boredom and teething are 2 of the biggest culprits when it comes to rug chewing. By providing your dog with substitutes, you’re helping to create constructive outlets for both of these common urges. But it’s not enough to simply leave these toys out. Give him better things to chew, and be vigilant. There are also foul-tasting solutions you can spray on them. They tend to be basic rather than peppery. On the principle that I should know what I was doing to our puppy, I tasted a drop of it once and it was like being smacked in the face with Nasty. But mostly: give him chew toys, and watch him like a hawk. Chewing is definitely a problem if your dog is not getting enough exercise for his/her breed. An option might be to play tug-of-war, catch with a frisbee or ball, or take your dog out for long walks each day. I'd also consider a crate for him when you are not home.
