00:00If your dog has been auditioning for Extreme Makeover Couch Edition,
00:04here's how to keep them from turning your pristine home
00:07into a chewed-up, scratched-up, torn-up masterpiece.
00:10Number one, get to the root cause.
00:12Is it boredom, anxiety, or just Fido saying,
00:16Pay attention to me, mother.
00:18Figure it out.
00:19Dr. Phil Style, run their energy tank dry.
00:23Tired dogs don't chew.
00:25It's simple math.
00:26Take them for a long walk or play fetch until they're ready for a long nap.
00:30Brain games for the win!
00:32Keep that little furball mentally busy with some puzzle toys.
00:35It's like giving them Sudoku, but for dogs.
00:37Sudog-ku?
00:39Stick to a schedule.
00:40Dogs love routines.
00:41Feed, walk, and play at the same time every day.
00:45No!
00:46Taste test their bad habits.
00:48Seriously, not literally.
00:49Spread some pet-safe anti-chew spray on your furniture.
00:52Nothing says, back off.
00:54Like a couch that tastes like yuck.
00:56Toys are their best frenemies.
00:58Offer them a rotating selection of chew toys.
01:00Let's be honest, they're gonna chew something.
01:02They always do.
01:03So, make it something they're allowed to destroy.
01:07Tape off the crime scene.
01:09Close doors, use baby gates, or just say,
01:12Sorry, no access to your favorite gnawing zone today.
01:19No access to your favorite gnawing zone.
01:20No access to your favorite gnawing zone.
01:22No access to your favorite gnawing zone.
01:22No access to your favorite gnawing zone.
01:22No access to your favorite gnawing zone.
