This is the puppy training podcast, episode 153.

Stop chewing my furniture and rugs.

This podcast is designed to help you on your journey of becoming best friends through love and learning as you train your own dog from home.

And I'm here to help you every step of the way.

This is the puppy training podcast and I'm your host Amy Jensen. Hi you guys. How are you this week? I hope you're

having a wonderful time with your dogs. Some of you are getting a dog. Some of you already have a dog.

Some of you are doing great and some of you are probably pulling your

hair out. Maybe I don't know. Getting a dog can be overwhelming, but we are here to help you. So I'm

glad you're here. I'm glad you're listening to the podcast. I try to give you just little tidbits

every week that makes your life a little easier when raising a dog. I will tell you that it is the best experience.

Even if it's overwhelming and you are pulling your hair out, then it is rewarding as well, right?

These dogs are so fun to have in the home. They offer so much love, so much emotional support.

I see it on a daily basis for me and for my spouse and my children. We just absolutely love

having our dogs around. So today I want to talk about the chewing of furniture, rugs, pillows,

clothing, shoes, slippers, you name it, whatever it is that your dog might find fun and

fascinating.

But we all know that when we get these dogs and puppies, they are cute and they are adorable, but they also get into these things, right?

And why is it always the smelly, stinky socks that they want?

Or, you know, they get bored and they're laying by the sofa and decide,

this little sofa leg looks so delicious to chew on.

I'm just going to have at it.

So we do need to remember that puppies are not doing this to annoy us.
