It is normal for dogs to chew on things, but it can become a problem when they start chewing on furniture. When disciplining your dog, it is important to be consistent and use positive reinforcement. Start by taking away whatever your dog has been chewing on and replacing it with something else that is non-destructible, such as an anti-chew device. If your dog continues to misbehave after the initial punishment, give them plenty of exercise so that they are tired enough not to engage in any further destructive behavior. You should also provide your pup with plenty of positive reinforcement when he exhibits good behavior instead – giving treats or extra cuddles works wonders!

The best way to punish your dog for chewing on furniture is to use positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement. With positive reinforcement, provide your dog with treats and attention when he behaves appropriately, such as when he's playing or sleeping in another area of the house. With negative reinforcement, each time he chews on the furniture, scold him loudly and quickly then redirect him with a toy or another activity. As his obedience improves you can also provide more freedom in the house by untethering him so that he cannot get into prohibited areas like tables and chairs.
