When we bring a puppy or an adult dog home, we must get to know their hobbies, their behavior and what they like to do. Many of them turn out to be bored at home, and entertain themselves biting your things. Shoes are the most mythical, but they can go through biting clothes and even furniture, which is a problem for us.
If you want to prevent this from happening you must cut it off from the start. Letting the dog do it for a while and take it as a habit to relax and entertain will make it harder for us in the long run to prevent him from stopping. You have to educate him even if he is a puppy or an adopted adult dog.
The first guideline is that we should never create a habit we don't want him to have the dog. If we give our things, even if they are old, to the dog to bite, it will think that it can bite the things that smell to us without problems. So it is good that from the beginning, whether it is a puppy or an adult, we give it its own chew toys.
The behavior of biting and breaking things usually comes from the boredom. Their energy is not wasted with physical exercise and they have to focus it on other things, and sometimes it happens that it is towards biting and breaking things that they find. That is why it is useless to scold them if we do not tackle the problem from the root.
What you have to do fundamentally is to tire the dog and give it other stimulants. A Kong toy to entertain you looking for your prize, a day looking for prizes around the house or in the field, a day of games. A dog that exercises physically and psychologically is a balanced dog that will not chew on things.
