I have a 5 month Beagle pup, And have never had a problem with him chewing anything other than socks. I have heard stories of them chewing leather sofas, so every time we go out we shut him in the kitchen as we have a leather one, the only time he's allowed in there on his own is if im quickly going to the shop and am only gone for 5 mins, and have always came home to find him just sat on the sofa waiting for me. Does this mean that i can leave him for longer periods in the living room or is it better to be safe than sorry?
as long as you make sure that he has toys and rawhides to play with he should be fine
my mothers and fathers are expert canine breeders so i know precisely whats occurring, its a domestic dog and it needs to teeth, i counseled getting a chunk toy, additionally while the domestic dog tries to teeth on somebody in basic terms positioned your fist in its mouth, making it uncomfortable for the canine. while it tries to chunk on boxers or despite in basic terms punish him/her and supply him a chunk toy. additionally the NO! trick doesnt paintings simply by fact the domestic dog would not know what it capacity so whenever you punish him be confident to decline in an indignant voice so it is going to understand what no capacity, making it less complicated to coach
You should be crate training. When you are gone the dog is in a crate (his own) and you can have some of his favorite toys in that crate. My dogs were not left unsupervised until they were 2 years old and totally house trained (not just potty trained).
it not the breed that chews things its just some dogs love to chew i don't think he will chew up your sofa but to make sure when you sit in the living room leave him on the sofa and if he is a chewer he'll do it in front of you my pups used to dig in the lether sofa but i would put them on the floor if they done it and they stopped
