I’ve got a 4-month-old Labrador who’s obsessed with my shoes. No matter where I hide them, he finds and nibbles away. I’ve tried leaving chew toys, but he just ignores them. Any tips to redirect this chewing habit? Feeling a bit frustrated and don’t want to scold him too much.
and then
I’ve been there! My 3-month-old pup demolished my favorite sandals last week. What helped me was a two-step approach: first, swap out the shoes for high-value chew toys—think super-smelly or crinkly ones. When he goes for the toy instead, praise him and give a tiny treat. Second, use a taste deterrent spray on your shoes (bitter apple works wonders). He’ll learn shoes are “no fun,” and toys are the better choice. Stick with it for a few days, and you’ll see progress. Good luck!
