My 5 month old puppy chews on her front paws. What can I do?
Full Question:
My puppy is 5 month's old and has been chewing on her front paws, I don't know why!!! It looks like they hurt her or could it be just another thing to chew? 
Cindy's Answer:
I would suspect sensitivity to either an outdoor allergen, or an ingredient in the food you are feeding her.
Read the article on feeding a raw diet. There is a lot of good information there.
I would also recommend these books, Natural Nutrition for Dogs & Cats and Raw Dog Food.
You can also go to our Feeding Dogs Page for a list of articles and books that will be helpful to you.
It may also be a boredom thing, make sure she is getting plenty of age appropriate exercise and mental stimulation.
I would recommend you purchase the dvd titled Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 8 Months.
We have owned and trained German Shepherds for 45 years. In the past 30 years we have bred over 350 litters of working bloodline German Shepherds. We give this video to all of our puppy customers and we never get questions on how to raise a pup.
Read the description of this puppy DVD on my web site. Dog training is not rocket science its simple common sense ideas on how to handle and train a dog, The DVD has 2 ½ hours of training information along with 15 puppy training articles that I have written.
You should also consider the 4 hour DVD on Basic Dog Obedience. The fact is you have much more to learn than your dog. I recommend the handlers start studying this DVD right away even though you won’t use some of this training material for several months (usually not until the pup is 4 to 6 months old).
I also recommend that you go to the web site and read the article on “Ed’s Philosophy of Dog Training.” I believe you will not only learn something about dog training, I hope you will also adopt the same philosophy on dog training.
