Hello everyone!  I am Sandi a 4 month old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.  At this time in my life I am busy chewing on anything I can find and allowed to chew on.  Teething as a puppy can be a discomfort just like teething is for a baby.  Some days it really hurts that is why I keep myself chewing on my soft puppy teething blankie with the attract chewy teether bone which helps ease my teething discomfort.  I have other dog toys that helps keep me entertained.  My stimulating plush dog toys, a rope play tug of toy and hard rubber dog bone keeps me busy for hours.  Chew toys will help during the teething stage that all dogs go through.

Many people would allow me to play around the house when they’re not home.  Often this allows me to chew shoes, purses or any item in my path.  The best way to prevent destructive chewing and training is to put me in my puppy crate.  To do this, you need a crate that is just big enough for me to turn around in.  The crate should be a safe and cheerful place for me.  I should always have toys in my crate to keep me entertained.  Crate training me will not only prevent destructive chewing, but will also aid in potty training and create a positive and safe environment for me to be when you’re not around.  When you leave me in the crate during the day while you are gone remember to leave me food and water too. I can get thirsty while you are gone.
