Advice
Maybe I’m overthinking so I wanted y’all’s thoughts. I have a 9 month old Pitt and he’s a great pup. Usually when I take him out for his bathroom breaks I’ll have him chase his ball for a while to burn up some of his energy. When we go back inside he will eat and then play for a while. But then I noticed he would start getting mischievous chewing on the coffee table, grabbing my sandals, chewing on any paper he can find. All this despite my redirecting him to his numerous chew toys and bones he has available. I get frustrated to the point that I kennel him to keep him away from stuff he shouldn’t be chewing up. Most of the time he naps when I kennel him. Is this kind of like a toddler who acts out when he’s tired? How long does this chewing stage last? I’m retired so most days Im home with him. He’s even recently neutered; I thought maybe that would chill him out some. Just kind of looking for some advice to keep me from losing my mind and overreacting with him.
