To stop a Samoyed chewing things, try these methods. First, give safe chew toys like chew sticks, rope, bones, and rubber chews to meet its need and redirect attention. Second, when it chews a toy instead of furniture or shoes, reward it immediately with praise, petting, or a small treat so it learns what is allowed.
Also, when it bites other things, ignore it, since the behavior may be attention-seeking and ignoring reduces it. Finally, give enough daily outdoor exercise so it has no spare energy to chew.
