Dogs chew for several reasons; to exercise developing jaws,
when they are teething, to learn about their environment, boredom, and for fun.
Dogs will chew when they are teething between the ages of 3-6 months, and at
about 7-10 months of age dogs will generally start a more pronounced intense
stage of chewing that will usually last about 6 months.
Dogs that are restricted to a small territory (from the dog's perspective) that
are bored and not able to openly explore will often channel those energies into
chewing objects.
Dogs will also pickup an item and chew it to get you to play; now the chase is
on.
