If you catch your dog in the act of chewing on your shoes, one of the most effective punishments is to quickly and firmly say “No!” and take the shoes away from them. This will help to teach them that they are not allowed to chew on your belongings. Additionally, giving your dog appropriate alternatives such as chew toys or extra padding in their bed can help reduce the occurrence of this behavior.

The easiest way to punish your dog for chewing on your shoes is to utilize positive reinforcement and stop making excuses for his behavior. When you catch your dog chewing on your shoes, immediately distract him with a favorite toy or treat, and reward him when he stops the unwanted behavior. Make sure to provide plenty of other chew options like stuffed Kongs and nylabones that are appropriately sized for your pup. Additionally, providing structured activities such as training sessions will also help keep your dog mentally stimulated and occupied so he won’t have as much energy available for mischievous behavior. With some patience, consistent correction of bad habits, positive reinforcement when desirable behaviors occur, quality time playing games with his favorite treat prize incentives- then eventually you should see progress in this area of the house training journey between you
