They could be teething or they could be angry with you. Maybe you changed something that they dint likeWhy Do Dogs Chew On Things

Well, it is all down to their hormones, one of which called alothiosulphate. this hormone and nerve in that case sends sensors to their brain and tells them to chew on things, it is in their instinct

Because they are cutting teeth (young dogs).

Yes because its teething or the dog has a bone in his mouth. :P

It's something many dogs do as an instinct from the wild.

Dogs chew on things because they are bored or they aren't getting enough attention.

And chewing strengthens a dogs jaw.

Dogs chew on all sorts of objects of different materials for different reasons. Sometimes they do it for play, other times it's out of frustration due to separation anxiety, boredom, etc. You should always supply your dog with safe, appropriate chew toys. Some sticks are ok, but some can splinter and cause pain, infection and dental problems if a splinter gets stuck in their mouth.

Some dogs will chew on things if they are teething or it smells like their owner. Many dogs like to chew on sun glasses/ glasses since they smell like their owner. Most of the time they will chew on the ear piece or the nose piece because that is what's smells like the owner.

They're bored and they want to use their mouths. Chewing on wooden (i assume you mean that) sticks is not healthy. Redirect your dog and give it raw bones to chew on (raw bones, not cooked, mind you.. they splinter) or a kong.

Last but not least; Use a taste deterrent like bitter apple on places that you don't want her chewing.

Because of the meat smell but only give them milk bones real bones can splinter and hurt the mouth or insides of a dog.

Do Dogs bury Bones?

Dogs do many things with the bones that you give them, it just depends what they like to do. Many dogs will bury their bones in your yard. My dogs will chew on the bones until the disappear, especially raw-hides.A dog gnaws on a bone. Bones help the dog's teeth not grow so fast. In other words, it makes a dogs teeth shorter. Another thing is that dogs chew on a bone because they still scent the smell of what was on the bone before it was bare. If they like the scent, they chew away! Giving a dog a bone is good because if they crack it open, they can eat all the kinds of nutrients in side. There are MANY things a dog can do with a bone!!
