- While our golden was teething he was an absolute chewing machine. We made
- sure he had lots of toys to chew on, the more indestructable the better.
- When he would try to chew on us we would give him a very firm NO and give
- him one of his chew toys. Also, we occassionaly gave him ice cubes to chew
- on which seemed to sooth him a little bit.
