A puppy eating everything is pretty common. There are a number of reasons why they do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puppies are curious: <\/strong>In the absence of hands to explore, everything goes in their mouths. Simple as that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puppies are scavengers: <\/strong>By nature, dogs eat everything, so it shouldn\u2019t be too surprising that they\u2019re literally hungry for life. It\u2019s a case of eat first to find out what it is later sometimes isn\u2019t it? Fun fact, dogs were probably <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/about\/\">domesticated<\/a> because the best at scavenging were the greatest at adapting and surviving longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puppies need a lot of food: <\/strong>A simple explanation is that your puppy might be eating everything because they\u2019re hungry.<a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-feeding-chart\/\"> Puppies need a huge amount of calories<\/a> because they\u2019re growing so quickly, so you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re increasing the amount of food each week to meet all their nutritional needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a guide on how much, and what you should be feeding your puppy for clearer guidance, check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-nutrition-guide\/\">here. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puppies are <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/grooming\/puppy-teething\/\"><strong>teething<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp; And yes, it\u2019s a crazy phase. To relieve their sore gums, it\u2019s often the case that they want to put things in their mouth for a nice massage. Explains why your wooden chairs do the trick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puppies often eat poo! <\/strong>It\u2019s just the truth. Puppies eat their own poo. They eat other dogs\u2019 poo. In fact, they\u2019ll eat any poo going. I know, it\u2019s disgusting but don\u2019t be surprised if they do it &#8211; apparently, it doesn\u2019t taste shitty to them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"tan puppy eating grass\" class=\"wp-image-4103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-scaled-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/daniel-lincoln-h-OISUiNfpI-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@danny_lincoln?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Daniel Lincoln<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What age will my puppy stop eating everything?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puppies usually stop eating everything once they have been through their teething stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At about 6 months old, your puppy will have gotten their <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/new-puppy-health\/when-do-puppies-lose-their-teeth\/\">adult teeth<\/a>, and will feel less of a need to chew on everything. At this age, you should start to see your puppy less interested in attacking everything with their mouths, and your state of mind coming back to a more peaceful place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puppies will chew for a while longer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, but chewing isn\u2019t totally over yet. Sorry to disappoint. The next teething stage will be about your puppy strengthening their jaw, so puppies who don\u2019t have lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-chews-are-they-good-for-your-pup\/\">chews<\/a> will pick up other things to chew on like sticks, stones and even house bricks! Your puppy might also decide that your favorite pair of shoes is also something that tastes great. Therefore, you\u2019ll want to have some good chew toys for them to get on instead of everything else they could dig their teeth in, but you\u2019d rather they didn\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some breeds are more likely to want to eat everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spaniels, and Retriever types typically find having things in their mouth hugely rewarding as they&#8217;ve been bred over centuries to do it. For these breeds, it can take a while to not want to eat everything, so give them lots of toys to hold and chews they can put in their mouths instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I stop my puppy eating everything?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To stop your puppy from eating everything, we suggest you do a few things to help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puppy proof your house<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your puppy will likely want to put lots of different things in their mouth, so you\u2019ll want to make sure it&#8217;s a safe environment for them to do that by puppy proofing it. Our article <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/getting-your-puppy\/getting-a-new-puppy-checklist\/\">here <\/a>will tell you everything you need to know about puppy proofing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/puppy-essentials\/puppy-proofing-the-house\/\">Puppy proofing<\/a>. What a tongue twister. Say it five times in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t make a big deal out of your puppy eating everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many things will just get swilled around in your puppy\u2019s mouth and spat out. Even though it can be yucky, if you make a big screaming deal out of your puppy eating things, they can either start to do it more to get your attention or start to perceive these items as valuable, which can potentially lead to them resource guarding. Better treat it as a no big deal situation &#8211; drool is an everyday thing to you now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teach your puppy what is ok to eat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving your puppy appropriate chews will stop them from eating everything that\u2019s lying around, as they\u2019ll have something readily available to teeth that\u2019s also safe. If they go to chew on something you don\u2019t want them to, redirect them by offering them a <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/games-and-toys\/kong-puppy-toys\/\">toy<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-chews-are-they-good-for-your-pup\/\">chew stick <\/a>instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve got several articles on this that could be useful to you, especially about <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/games-and-toys\/best-puppy-toys\/\">puppy toys<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-behavior\/biting-and-chewing\/puppy-chewing\/\">puppy chewing<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sophie-elvis-y3N24uWlEuo-unsplash-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"tan puppy chewing scratching post\" class=\"wp-image-4104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sophie-elvis-y3N24uWlEuo-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sophie-elvis-y3N24uWlEuo-unsplash-scaled-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sophie-elvis-y3N24uWlEuo-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sophie-elvis-y3N24uWlEuo-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sophie-elvis-y3N24uWlEuo-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sophie-elvis-y3N24uWlEuo-unsplash-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/es\/@thetechnomaid?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Sophie Elvis<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice positive reinforcement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching your puppy to leave items alone is a great way of stopping a puppy eating everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, treat your puppy with positive reinforcement so that they learn that leaving what they have in their mouths brings them treats and happy times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/commands\/how-to-teach-your-puppy-to-leave-it\/\">\u2018leave it\u2019<\/a> cue is brilliant for this. You\u2019ll find out how amazing it is when your puppy is finally walking down the street and just ignoring things that previously they might have wanted to pick up and eat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you reward your puppy for walking past distractions and not eating them, it will make your walks much more like walks in the park (literally). No one wants to be hyper-vigilant on walks, right? We want to be able to relax, as well as your puppy. All of this falls into the <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/about\/\">Life Skills<\/a> type of positive reinforcement training, where your puppy learns to make the right choices for themselves and be rewarded for it. It\u2019s much less of an obedience skill, where they have to be commanded or cued not to do something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking past a takeaway fried chicken box and not going in for a sniff, or trying to snaffle it, is the ultimate challenge for them. Use plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-rewards-and-treats\/\">rewards and treats<\/a> to help them through the temptation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to teach a puppy eating everything, is a reliable drop cue. This is different to \u2018leave it\u2019 because it\u2019s when your puppy has got the thing in their mouth, and you\u2019d like to take it off of them. This is useful when you\u2019re teaching them how to play fetch or another similar game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Train your pup to swap lots and lots when training the drop with toys, so that your puppy anticipates a hand coming towards their mouth as something nice, not just something to snatch out of their jaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that training a puppy not to eat everything will rely on practice and a tonne of patience. Consistency is key for this as well. You\u2019ll break the habit if you stick to management to prevent them from eating everything, redirect them onto something else and then teach them what you want them to do instead. Treats will do the trick too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure when you should be training your puppy, then check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/training-basics\/weekly-puppy-training-schedule\/\">week by week puppy training schedule<\/a>.
