One way to "teach" your dog to chew would be to hold the chicken back while watching him pull pieces off and chew them. Keep doing it until he gets the hang of it.
Joey's about 5 1/2 pounds and so was the chicken. I don't think I'll try a neck again, that was too traumatic for me. You know the part of the chicken wing that looks like a little leg, do you ever feed that? He has been enjoying some Bison back ribs, he can't swallow those whole!
