Bailey loves playing fetch, long walks, snuggles, and the soft stuff inside of throw pillows.

Destructive chewing is normal and healthy for young dogs – and by young we mean the first 2 to 3 years of life.  Giving the dog fun chew toys is not enough though.  Often we must teach the dog how to play with their toys by creating happy associations with those objects during interactive one-on-one play times.  Otherwise that throw pillow that smells like you and is terribly fun to rip apart can distract your playful puppy.
