Don’t leave anything on the floor that you would like to keep in decent condition. We’ve had shoes, badminton racquet, socks, dog beds, carpets, tennis balls and Tupperware tubs all destroyed. They do get better though after a few years  . Good luck. |

"Puppy chews, and a penned area of his/ her own.
Puppies chew
I've bought him loads of toys and chews and stuff "
Hence the penned area, as others have said, just have to get him to think the chews are more fun
Beast of luck though, been there, and will be again |

It's all been said! Puppy pen...toys, stimulation and training with positive rewards. These are formulative years and will reflect their behaviour later on!! What breed?  |

Most have covered it.
It is a combination of bordem, teething, and just generally being a puppy/toddler.
For teething - get a teatowel, make sure it is wet (but not dripping. Tie a knot (or few) in it and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen give it to them to chew on. It will help sooth their teeth and also give them something to explore and fill their bordem for a while. A good idea to have multiple on the go so you don't have to wait for them to freeze all the time. |

Our Labrador chewed everything (and I mean everything, shoes, action men, potatoes out the veg rack, my orthodontic brace, the lounge door) until she was about three, and then she stopped.
She had big marrow bones, and chews and her own toys but that made no difference.
Good luck! |

There are various sprays, paints that taste bloody awful and the puppy learns it's not a good idea to chew. Took mine, many years ago, about a day to work out chewing the skirting board was just not on. get them in most pet shops / online. |

Agree with all of the above. I always get a crate or cage for our puppies with chews in it. I get the feeling that they chew when they’re tired. Oh I’d love a pic too  |

"I need some advice, I've just got a new puppy and he thinks it's good to chew my wall can anyone give me any advice on how to stop him."
Please don’t shout at him/her or tell him off it’s a totally natural behaviour. Puppies are hard work and it’s tiring caring for them.
Anything of value, remove from the area he/she occupies. A penned off area can be helpful as can a crate (as long as it’s seen as a positive space and not punishment). Anytime they go to chew something they shouldn’t replace it with a toy or chew.
They’re kinda like toddlers, distraction is normally the best way to go. |

NB seen a few replies suggesting you offer him one of hos own chews, don't. That tells him he's doing something you like because you are giving him a treat. Puppy needs to learn they shouldn't chew walls etc. No need to punish him either, but reward good behavior only. |

When my dog chewed the wall I put Vics on the wall, the smell put her off and she stopped chewing. |

Our boxer totally baffled me as a pup I’d never had one and became bloody frustrated as I didn’t know what to do but luckily my missus was there to show me all he wanted was to play. Miss that boy |

I think most puppies go through this. It's usually down to teething and them learning what they can do with their mouths. I found water mixed with loads of lemon juice in a spray bottle really helped when my pup was going though this.
I'd remove anything that you don't want damaged and just accept that some things will be chewed at until your pup understands what no means.
If you're going out anywhere a crate can be a good safe space while they are growing with lots of good chew toys.
When my boy was a pup I came back one day and he had ripped all the wires from the wall and chewed through the floorboards.  |

"Oh a bulldog
Buy another pup for him to play with.
Ain't that double trouble
I find having two dogs just as easy as having one and they keep each other company."
This, although, we didn't have them both as puppies ... had an older dog and introduced a pup |

A friends dog ran away from home and turned up in the local Tesco eating the carrots! |
