I would confine her to a place without carpet to play and sleep when you cannot watch her. I would supervise her when she is sitting or playing on the carpet. When you catch her starting to tear the carpet, then you tell her no and give her a toy. You can use pennies in a jar or squirt bottle to distract her and stop her from chewing the carpet. I believe in praising dogs for good behavior. My dog use to chew on my rug in my bedroom. When I notice my dog playing with a toy and not chewing on the rug, then I would sing to him, cheer for him, pet him, play with him, or give him a food reward. These techniques stopped my dog from chewing on my rug. |
