Poodle (Detailed Introduction)

       Owners might not have expected before raising a poodle that their dog would love to chew on things so much—from shoes, to plants, to furniture, even to electric wires—as long as it’s something they can bite, they might want to test if these things are sturdy enough for their owners. However, this "kindness" from the dogs might just result in a scolding for the owner. Actually, poodles biting things randomly have reasons behind it. To make the dog stop this habit, the owner must find out the reason why the dog chews things randomly.

       1. Chewing can relieve discomfort caused by teething

       Teething can cause discomfort for dogs, but dogs won't just suffer from it silently. They have found a solution that troubles their owners—the chewing. But owners are not helpless against this. Preparing dog chew toys is a method worth trying. Choosing a suitable dog chew toy not only helps reduce the discomfort caused by teething, but also helps clean the dog’s oral cavity, achieving two purposes at once!

       2. Boredom and chewing for venting

       Many owners are 9-to-5 workers, so dogs have to stay alone at home during the day. To kill the boredom, dogs may chew here and there. If you want your dog not to focus on chewing furniture and other items during the day, you can buy some toys for your dog. Also, when you come home, interact more with your dog. If you always ignore your dog, it might even become “depressed”.

       3. Training the dog not to chew randomly

       In addition to preparing dog chew toys and interacting more with your dog, owners can also use corrective training to stop the random chewing behavior. It is important to catch the dog in the act—when the dog is chewing, the owner should sternly stop it, so they realize they should not chew furniture and other items. If the owner tries to educate afterward, the dog might not understand the owner's intent, leading to ineffective training.
