Here is the puzzle:

"Most destructi-e chewing occurs -ust -efore the owner returns home. The dog is an-iously antici-ating the owner's return and this energy is released -y chewing. You can -re-ent your dog from indiscriminately chewing whate-er is handy and instead chew her own toys. Whene-er you return home, insist that your dog greet you with a toy in her mouth. At first you will ha-e to hel- her -y telling her to "find" her toy. Do not gi-e your usual home coming greeting until she has a toy firmly in her mouth. Within a few days, your dog will reali-e that you ne-er say hello unless she has a toy in her mouth. Now when your dog starts antici-ating your return, she will automatically -egin loo-ing for a toy with which to gain your greeting and a--ro-al when you do return. If a toy is already in her mouth, she will -e li-ely to chew on it, rather than on the furniture, to release tension. ~~ Gwen -ohnen-am-, "Manners for the Modern Dog""
