It is normal for a dog to chew. However, it is unacceptable to allow your dog to chew shoes, stuffed animals, furniture, or remote controls. I once heard of a dog who chewed an escape hole right through a house! This same dog also devoured several remote controls and a computer mouse.

Puppies usually chew in the teething stage. Just as a baby does, a teething puppy will put items in it’s mouth to help alleviate some of the discomfort.

But with adult dogs, most chewing is simply bad behavior.
