Chewing Problems
 All dogs have the urge to chew when they are teething. When they are going through this stage, it is important to give them safe products that are good for them to chew. Stay away from products that might break up into pieces that might get lodged in your young dog’s throat. Stick to more sturdy products that will remain whole.
If a dog continues to chew and is becoming destructive, make sure the dog has a couple of toys that are okay to chew. Dogs many times chew out of boredom, so if you have to leave your dog alone for several hours at a time, make sure they have a good sturdy chewy or one of those larger balls that are simply too big to chew to push around. When a dog is busy doing something else, he’s too busy to chew.
If your dog tries to chew a piece of furniture, there are sprays commercially available that deter chewing when sprayed on the furniture. Just be sure to check to see if they are safe for finishes or fabrics before using.
Remember to never give your dog something like an old shoe or sock to chew. No dog can make a distinction between an old shoe and your best pair, so it’s better to never allow them to chew articles like these.

The Golden Retriever was developed in late 19th century Scotland and England primarily by crossing Flat- and Wavy-coated Retrievers, Tweed Water Spaniels, and a red Setter. The Golden was bred by British aristocrats to be a dual purpose dog, able to retrieve waterfowl and upland game birds and also to be a companion. The Golden Retriever's friendly disposition, attractive appearance, and high level of trainability have made this breed one of the most popular in the United States. The Golden Retriever was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1956. |
