So my puppy is teething which is just absolutely "wonderful". I've tried giving him chew toys, chew things for teething and she's got a ball, but nothing seems to work. I spoke with a trainer at my local pet store and said she tried peanut butter in ice, she's not interested. Even the vet gave the same suggestion and she's not taking to it. <br><br>Does anyone have any tips that worked for them? I can't afford for her to chew one thing because then we'll have to get rid of her, according to my fiance's mom. I really don't think she would do that, but I don't want to take the risk.

    Crate training. If she can't chew on anything except the things you provide her, pretty soon, those will be the only things she chews on even when not in the crate.<br><br>Otherwise, I'd see about getting a couple of those treat balls that you can put yummy smelling treats into and see if that works.

    <br><br>I'll try out the treat balls. I never thought of that! That's a great idea. If those don't work I guess we'll have to resort to a crate. Thanks for the advice. =)

    Crate training should be a part of any healthy puppy's life. It might scare them at first, but in the end it will give them a sense of security. We leave our crates open at night, and the girls choose the crate over the bed. Make sure not to get a crate that is too big. The biggest mistake you can make is thinking that your puppy will feel more secure in a bigger space, when dogs naturally enjoy the sensation of being in a closed in place to sleep. You might want to get a crate that will fit her when she is fully grown, but has a divider to half the space while she's a puppy.<br>Kong toys are great for many things, teething one of them. Buy two appropriate sized Kong toys at a pet store, don't let them talk you into buying the can of filling that you put inside. It's a waste of money. Just put peanut butter in both, freeze them over night, and give one to her at a time. When she finishes one, give her the other, fill the empty one again, and freeze it.
