It’s important not to set your labradoodle puppy up for failure when it comes to chewing. If you have items that you don’t want chewed, remove them from the area that the puppy will be in. Watch the puppy closely, keeping him confined in a safe area like a crate or a room when you are not present. An unsupervised puppy with the run of the house is an invitation to have one of every pair of shoes, among other things, destroyed by those determined little teeth!
When you find your labradoodle puppy chewing on something inappropriate, take it away and replace it with something appropriate such as a chew toy. A loud noise can often be enough to distract the puppy for a minute. Use chew deterrent solution on forbidden items to give them an unpleasant taste and deter the puppy. Make sure the puppy has lots of toys that are appropriate to teething discomfort, ensuring that there are no squeakers or loose parts that can be swallowed. Rotate the toys to discourage boredom. Finally, be sure your puppy gets plenty of activity to encourage healthy rest.
