I always find my six months old American Cocker Spaniel chewing on almost everything at my place, be it my shoes or the TV remote. Although, I like the playful behavior, it makes me concerned at times if it is perfectly normal or not. So, why do dogs chew so much? Chewing is quite a natural behavior for dogs, as they use their mouths to investigate the environment. Dogs, especially puppies, chew on whatever they find. However, when a dog is feeling alone, bored or stressed, the chewing could develop into a compulsive behavior.
