<bot>: The best way to keep a dog from chewing things up is to make sure that all items they are allowed to chew on are safe and durable. Additionally, you can discourage your pup from chewing by using deterrents such as sprays or bitter tasting substances. Finally, provide plenty of toys for your dog to play with so that they don’t need to use their teeth to satisfy their urge to chew.
