Dog Health Questions: How do i get my dog to stop chewing?

My dog is 1 years old and she chews EVERYTHING! She is a Terrier. She goes outside and and takes the pinecones that fall from my tree. It is really annoying and when i try to catch her she runs away and it takes forever to do that. She also chews my shoes. I don't have enough money to give her dog training classes or i would trust me. Please help!

its called teething, all young dogs do it, the best thing is to give her a chew toy and when she gets older she will eventually she will stop. and put your stuff up that u dont wont chew up away so she cant get to it

Dog Training Man's Best Friend

• I took my dog to the vet to see if they would remove her teeth but they said they wouldn't do that. I'm not sure why.


• shes developing adult teeth so she is tempted to chew on other stuff because her teeth kinda hurt like any other dog
  its normal
  spray her if she does it againt then give her a chew toy
  give her a treat for good deeds


• Buy some Bitter Apple Spray. Does she have any chew toys? Terrier's are very active and if they don't have something to occupy them, they will find their own ways to entertain themselves. If she starts chewing on your shoes, give her a rawhide, chew toy, or a pig ear to chew on instead, and if she chooses the toy over your shoe, make sure to give her positive reinforcement.


• when i got my gog, the vet told us that if there's an item that they chew on alot, get them a dog toy that has similar texture like if they chew on your wooden chair, they have toys close to wood texture. and she runs away when you try to chase her when she has an item, beacause she thinks your playing. you can yell no, spank her, or shake a jar of pennies. it's an old trick that's supposed to scare dogs


• ok give him a lots of toy .
  he will stop .
  just let him know this is what you chewing these toy
  not my stuff


• Exercise her as much as possible. One of my dogs used to do that and as soon as I exercise him more than usual, he quits chewing on things other than his toys/bones. You can train her by "trading" your shoes (or other unwanted objects) with her toys/bones (or something acceptable to chew on) so she doesn't build a negative association when you take away something from her. And remember to praise her when she's chewing on her toys/bones.


• You should teach your dog the "leave it" command. I could tell you how, but I always waste time typing and seem to be ignored. I know the internet has some ways to teach the leave it command, you should look it up.
  
  Add** Spanking/yelling at a dog will only teach the dog to NOT come to you. After all who would want to come to you and get smacked/yelled at? Always teach the recall (dog coming to you) with positive rewards, then the dog WILL want to come to you.
