For a number of reasons, canines like chewing on sticks. Dogs naturally nibble on bones, whether they are
wild or tamed. Dogs like chewing sticks because they mimic bones and the texture is enjoyable to bite on
or carry around in their jaws. That chewing on objects also helps to keep teeth clean by removing plaque. In
addition to relieving annoyance, anxiety, or boredom, chewing can also be used to treat tooth-related
discomfort, such as that caused by dental disease in adults or teething in pups. However, rewarding your dog
for carrying a large stick or making fun of how foolish your dog seems while holding a stick in their mouth may lead them to believe that this behavior is okay.
