Biting Furniture

Chewing is a natural behaviour for dogs. It helps them to clean their teeth, exercise their jaws, and relieve boredom. However, when dogs chew on furniture, it can be a frustrating and costly problem for their owners.

There are a number of reasons why dogs chew on furniture. Some of the most common include: -

• Teething: Puppies chew to relieve the pain and discomfort of teething.
• Boredom: Dogs that are bored or understimulated are more likely to chew on furniture.
• Anxiety: Dogs that are anxious or stressed may chew on furniture as a coping mechanism.
• Medical problems: Some medical conditions, such as dental problems, allergies, and parasites, can also cause dogs to chew on furniture.

If your dog is chewing on furniture, the first step is to try to identify the underlying cause. Once you know why your dog is chewing, you can take steps to address the problem.
