How can I get my dog to stop chewing wood?
Hi! encourage the dog to chew on the correct items: Give your dog a toy specifically for chewing.

Make sure the dog likes the chew toys and note what kind it naturally picks. Makes sure the size of the chew toy is appropriate for your dog. A very large dog needs a large chew toy, and a small breed needs a small chew toy. If you catch your dog or puppy beginning to chew, say “no” and immediately provide them an appropriate toy. When the dog picks the toy up or chews on it, praise him immediately. Provide lots of exercise when you are home to allow the dog to get rid of any pent up energy. Walk the dog prior to leaving it alone for extended periods of time. Commercially available sprays can be applied to furniture and other items to make them distasteful to the dog or puppy. A weak mixture of one vinegar and 6 parts water can be applied to furnit
