Pets Q & A: How can I stop my puppy from chewing on things?

Chewing is not normally a dangerous activity except for the loss or damage that it may cause to your belongings, though if a dog is allowed to chew unchecked it could eventually chew on something that threatens its health or even its life. One proven method of getting a puppy to stop chewing on things is the application of a bitter-tasting material on the puppy's favorite inappropriate chew objects.
