When raising dogs, I believe pet owners have seen dogs chewing shoes. So why do dogs like to bite shoes so much? Many owners are troubled and don't know how to correct it. I would like to introduce some small methods to you. I hope it will be helpful to you.
1. Prepare teething sticks or teething toys
Dogs usually grind their teeth at three to four months. Due to itchy teeth, dogs will bite things indiscriminately to relieve discomfort. At this time, the owner needs to put away the things that the dog likes to bite, and prepare some teething sticks or teething toys for the dog to grind its teeth. This can not only relieve the dog's discomfort, but also prevent it from chewing other things and causing unnecessary damage.
2. Proper teaching
If the dog is still biting shoes after the molar period, then appropriate teaching is needed. When you find the dog biting shoes, immediately yell loudly and take the shoes away. You can also give appropriate punishment, such as gently slapping its butt, to let it know that doing so is wrong. This is a long-term process, so the owner must have enough patience and never use violence.
3. Spray odors that dogs hate on shoes
Odors such as essential oil, perfume, toilet water, citrus, etc. are all odors that dogs hate. So if the owner doesn’t mind, you can spray odors that dogs hate on shoes. If dogs don’t like these smells, they will naturally stay away from the shoes.
