Human: What are the best ways to keep a dog from chewing on things? Assistant: 

1. Make sure your dog has plenty of chew toys and bones that they can choose from.
2. Give them safe chew items such as rawhide or nylon bones, which are less likely to cause damage if swallowed.
3. Keep your home free of potential chew items by removing anything breakable or dangerous.
4. Monitor your dog's behavior around objects they might be tempted to chew on.
5. Use positive reinforcement when your dog does not chew on something you don't want them to.
