Well, yougetthesmiles, I'd like to say that Joey doesn't chew on inappropriate items because 1) he gets all the nutrition he needs and 2) he is well-trained. BUT, I don't think that is the case. I think that it varies from dog to dog just like the sucking need varies alot in human babies. I let Joey chew on things that other members here don't think are safe (rawhide and pigs ears). I tend to think that he gets his chewing needs met that way, but, heck, I honestly don't know what the answer is!
