I guess I was lucky that my dog didn't turn into a 'chewer'. It sounds terrible. Still, I was forearmed in case. There was some good information in this adorably-illustrated book.

Very good. While I can't stop Sierra from chewing, I can protect belongings and redirect her to constructive chewing. I also learned what chew toys would be good investments and realistic expectations.

note: Sierra passed away in 2013, and is missed very much.

Read kind of too late, my dog is a year and a half already, but did get some good ideas.
