Why do dogs chew?
There are several reasons why dogs chew, but one of the most common is due to anxiety.
How does chewing help an anxious dog?
Chewing is a self soothing activity, a natural way for a dog to deal with stress and anxiety. When a dog chews, it affects the adrenal-pituitary part of the brain, which in turn triggers the release of endorphins into the dogs' bloodstream. These endorphins are the "feel good'" chemicals that the body produces.
This to similar to the pleasure you might experience when you enjoy a good gym session or when you laugh.
