Puppy Tips Blog

Bella, my puppy, is part German Shephard and part Golden Retriever and currently 5 months old. She constantly bites and jumps up on anyone and anything. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old and it’s been the same thing. I have chew toys for her, but she continues to chew my feet, my clothes, my furniture, and everything else. Are there any tips on how to get her to stop? I’ve tried a forceful tone, turning my back to her, ignoring her, but nothing works.

The chewing thing is normal because they are teething, but what you can do is buy sour apple spray, which they sell at pet stores, and spray it on the stuff that she usually chews and usually that will stop it.

With five dogs, it’s almost impossible to keep them from barking at EVERYTHING! It only takes one of them to start and then all the others join in. I ordered the Outdoor Bark Control Birdhouse based on the customer reviews. I was a little skeptical if this would really work. Well, not only does it work outside, but the dogs actually bark less inside as well. I think they are learning that they don’t need to bark all of the time. They still bark if someone comes to the door, but it sure is nice to have them stop barking at cars going down the road!! Order your Outdoor Bark Control Birdhouse today!

This toy is actually a cat toy, but my poodle loves to drop small balls into the box and then try to get them out afterwards. He can play for hours with this. If your dog is curious and a problem solver, they will love this! I have the small one so that he can reach all of the holes, no matter where he is standing.

There are 2 sizes you can order:

SMALL - has 3 x 3 holes on top and 2 holes on each side

LARGE - has 4 x 4 holes on top and 3 holes on each side

Barking is a natural method of communication for puppies and dogs.

They bark for all kinds of reasons and you need to understand the reason for the barking before you can correct it.

Also, your puppy must know that you are in control before you can start to correct their behavior.

Excessive barking can put a lot of stress on you, your family, and even your neighbors. 

I have found an article with some excellent puppy tips on how to stop your puppy from barking.  Read the full article here.

One thing to remember is that puppies will teeth just like babies will.  When puppies are teething they do a lot of chewing to relieve the pain.  They will chew on anything they can get their mouth around. This includes things like shoes, table legs, kid’s toys, chords sticks, bones, and your fingers!

You can give your puppy a special treat when they’re teething.  I got a washcloth wet, put it in a Ziploc bag and then froze it. Once it was frozen, I took it out and gave it to the puppy to chew on.  The cold washcloth helped to numb the pain.  The only problem with this is the washcloth did not stay frozen very long.

I had read somewhere that you can do the same thing with a dog toy.  I took one of the dog toy ropes and froze it in a Ziploc bag.  The problem I had with this is that the dog rope toy was too large for the puppy to chew on.  If you want to have the puppy chew on a frozen dog toy, make sure the toy is small enough for them to hang onto and to chew on.

One thing you don’t want to do is to give your puppy a regular baby teething ring.  The teething rings for babies are usually filled with liquid that you can freeze.  A baby’s teeth are not as sharp as a puppy’s teeth.  The puppy will chew holes in the teething ring in a matter of minutes. You will then have a wet mess on your hands, and I don’t know how safe the liquid is inside the teething ring.

When your puppy is teething try to keep some cold toys around, and also a variety of toys for them to chew on.  This will help to keep them entertained and away from things you don’t want them to chew on.
