Dogs’ chewing on things is not unusual; in fact, it is natural for them. It is how they explore the world and sometimes a result of boredom. Training your dog not to chew on things can be a little skirmish.

If you have a Staffordshire bull terrier then you really have to be patient and firm because this breed tends to chew a great deal. To help you with this, here are some tactics to stop them from chewing and additional safety measures to care for your pup.

1. If your dog starts to chew on things that they are not allowed to, you have to distract them by getting their attention. Make a loud noise or give them chew toys. When your dog plays with the chew toy, give him a reward or praise him. By doing so, you will reinforce this appropriate behavior.

2. You can use sprays that can help you stop your dog from chewing on things. These sprays are not harmful for them, but they taste really bad. Spray them on things that you don’t want your dog to chew on and you have to reapply them often. You can buy this on you local pet store.

3. When your dog gets bored, they tend to chew on things. To prevent this, provide chew toys like an old sock or shoes but you should also replace them because they might get bored chewing on the same thing everyday, provide variety. You can also give dog treats or play with them.

4. Aside from keeping your dog from chewing, it is also your responsibility to keep your environment free from harmful things. Put away things that can be dangerous to your dog and be a responsible dog owner.

Hope this helps
