A friend who keeps a dog may find that when the dog grows to a certain age, he likes to bite everywhere and often damages the items and furniture at home. What's going on? In fact, dogs and people, with the growth of teeth, will make the dog uncomfortable, has the desire of "grinding teeth".
Dogs have two molars. The first is when the deciduous teeth fall and begin to change into permanent teeth, about 4-5 months old. The second time was when the permanent teeth retracted into the jaw bone 6-12 months old. During this period, because the puppies will feel uncomfortable and uncoordinated in the mouth, so "biting" becomes necessary.
Because the dog has nothing to bite, so the pillars or furniture in the house are bitten to pieces by it. The owner will be very angry at the moment he bites the furniture, but it doesn't work very well. For puppies, the desire and behavior of biting during this period is indispensable both mentally and physically.
The first is not to stop the biting, but to give it "something to bite". What is necessary for a pup to bite? The owner often answers, "I give him toys to bite." But that toy, sometimes it's either brand new or slightly bitten, which is not what the puppy wants to bite. What kind of occlusal toys you like will vary according to the breed of dog or the character of the dog. Even for Chihuahua or dachshund of the same age, Chihuahua doesn't like hard wooden toys, but dachshunds with strong jaw strength may like them very much. Therefore, it is better for the owner to test what kind of toys the dog likes! In addition, puppies born 2 to 3 months do not like good toys.
