Raising a puppy can be a challenging yet rewarding experience. Along with the fun and excitement come some challenges that new pet owners must hurdle and learn from. One such challenge is dealing with a puppy’s destructive behaviors.

There are many reasons why a puppies exhibit destructive behaviors. First, they are naturally curious about their new environment. In the process of exploring their new surroundings using their senses, they touch, smell, and even taste whatever is strange or foreign to them. Although this activity is an essential part of socialization and development of a puppy, it can become a problem when this innate behavior cause your pet to become destructive.

Other reasons for exhibiting this behavior include a puppy’s natural urge to chew especially when he is teething; part of playing; or when a puppy is suffering from separation anxiety.
