Training—teach or train your dog not to chew on your furniture
When we are bored, we
often respond by eating chips or a chocolate bar. When our mouths
are dry, we pop gum in them and chew.
Dogs don’t have those privileges. Understand that your dog chews on
stuff like furniture, shoes, or books for a reason.
He may be bored
to death because you don’t give him any attention, affection, or dog
toys.
Sometimes your dog chew on furniture because he's lonely or nervous.
Your dog doesn’t normally chew on your precious little things like
furniture because he has a grudge
against you.

Your dog is normally not resentful even if you are
often late with his food.
If you have a dog, expect dog chewing will happen. If he does chew
on your shoes, don’t punish the poor thing by hitting him! Talk to
him instead. Show him your sad face. Believe it or not, dogs do have
feelings. You could buy him some toys that he can chew on instead of chewing
on your furniture, shoes or precious property.
Because your dog is a dog, don’t let him be unsupervised until he
can be trusted not to destroy your property. Give him a small area
that he can enjoy such as a dog house. If you want him to be in the
house, that’s fine. Just be by his side.
If he does something bad, speak to him and make him feel that it’s
not the right thing to do. Do not hit him. Make sure that you have
some toys in his little doggie house so that he can chew on them not
your furniture or shoes. If he chews the dog toys in his little
kingdom, he will soon get used to chewing in only that area.
Some dogs are smart and a little bit naughty and may wish on
something other than just hard old bones. If that happens, be
creative with the dog bone. Put some flavors on it such as chicken
broth or beef broth. When you have to leave the house, give them a
few different flavor toys so that he won’t be bored.
Dogs occasionally chew on things they shouldn’t. The best way to
prevent this dog furniture chewing behavior is to keep your precious
items somewhere that your dog simply cannot reach. Train him to do
his dog chewing in his own little dog house.
