Question:
Our golden retriever pup kept chewing everything well past her first birthday. She even destroyed the carpet in the lounge room. We sought the advice of a dog behaviourist and his first response was to check her mouth. Sure enough, she was having a lot of trouble cutting wisdom teeth.
Answer:
Just like some children, dogs can have overcrowding and pain when teething. He predicted that within a month or so of his visit it would stop — and it did. Please don’t just assume your pup is naughty, get him or her checked out if you have a rampant chewer.
