Destructive chewing usually comes from boredom, stress, or unmet instincts. The goal is to redirect—not punish.

1) Add a daily chew routine

Give a durable chew option at the same time each day. Consistency reduces anxiety.

2) Pair chewing with training

Use a simple cue like “Chew here” and reward calm focus.

3) Choose the right texture

Textured surfaces can increase engagement and reduce frustration.
