I agree with the others and confine his access to that part of the house which you puppy-proof several times a day just as you do with a baby. And training your dog to drop it using the old switch out method - will help him learn to drop dangerous things you see him eat before he swallows them. I worked on that command very early on with every dog I've ever had. This training has saved more than one dog a trip to the vet. But it won't work for those you don't see him eat so only frequent baby-proofing and confining him to just that safe space will keep him safe. Besides eating dangerous things, dogs free to wander about chew electrical cords, bedspread edges, furniture and anything they can get to when they are young, bored or teething.
PS: Koda is a true cutie-patootie and such a darling face!!!
