One of the biggest mindset shifts is understanding that your puppy usually isnāt trying to be difficult here. Theyāre uncomfortable, excited, curious and still learning how interaction with humans works.
A few things that genuinely help:
⢠frozen Kongs
⢠frozen carrots
⢠cooling chew toys
⢠appropriate outlets for chewing and shredding
⢠structured rest
⢠calmly redirecting onto appropriate items
Cooling things to chew can make a huge difference when gums are sore.
Also remember: the more attention puppies get for stealing shoes, socks and household items, the more valuable those items become.
Try to heavily reinforce the choices you DO want to see.
The goal during teething is guiding your puppy through the phase without building habits you donāt want long-term.
