Say OUCH! and turn your back to the puppy for a few minutes. Then play again. Repeat when necessary. If it continues, try a puppy time out.
ALWAYS praise the pup when he's chewing on the right thing. If he chews on you, say OUCH then place a toy in his mouth and then praise him. Make sure he does not have access to things he should not be chewing on, like shoes. Don't let him establish bad habits now.
Everyone said the chewing would get better after they are done teething. Loki's constant chewing continued past 1yr. He still chews his bully sticks a few hours a day, but he used to chew CONSTANTLY. We were able to teach him early to chew on his own stuff, and luckily he never ruined anything. |
