Your puppy may enjoy sucking on a piece of ice. This will soothe their gums. Try holding out an ice cube to them; they may take it right out of your hand. You can also drop one or two ice cubes in your puppy's water bowl to cool down the water. If you have a toy breed, you may want to feed them a bowl of crushed ice instead of giving them a whole ice cube. Purchase a finger toothbrush from your vet or pet store, and place it over your finger. Gently slide your finger into the puppy’s mouth, and gently massage their gums in a circular motion with the textured side of the toothbrush. This will reduce their irritation and prevent more chewing. A finger toothbrush is a brush that fits over your finger so that you can brush your dog’s teeth. Certain foods can reduce the puppy’s pain while rewarding them for not chewing the furniture. Do not use treats when the puppy has misbehaved. Instead, let them have one when they have done something right.  Frozen foods can provide relief and taste good. Place foods like bagels, strawberries, and bananas in the freezer before giving them to your dog.  Bully sticks are a great natural treat for puppies as well. Your puppy will spend a long time chewing one. The vet can tell you if the puppy’s adult teeth are growing in correctly. If the puppy has any puppy teeth left after six months, the vet may remove them for you to ensure that their adult teeth are aligned properly. Some breeds, like terriers, are more susceptible to teething problems than others.

summary: Give your puppy an ice cube. Massage their gums. Feed the puppy a treat. Take your puppy to the vet.

Turn on your iron and let it get hot. Then place your fabric on the ironing board and go around the edges with your iron, smoothing down the seams. You can also iron the rest of the fabric if there are any wrinkles. Be careful when using your iron! Make sure to set it down on its bottom so it’s standing upright and doesn’t burn anything.

Place a piece of ice in a sealable plastic bag to avoid any water damage caused by drips from the ice. Take a piece of ice and slowly rub all over the gum. The coldness of the ice will harden the gum, making it easier to chip away later.  If the leather item is small enough, place it in a plastic bag and then put it in the freezer for about an hour. Putting the item in the freezer will have a similar effect as the ice--the gum will harden and become easier to chip away from the leather. If you don’t have a plastic bag, you can rub the ice directly on the gum. Make sure that if the ice drips onto the leather, you wipe it up immediately, as water left on leather for too long can stain it. Use a hard, flat edge to remove the gum from the leather. In a pinch, a fingernail will do the trick, as will a credit card, butter knife or even a metal spoon. Avoid very sharp items or else you may gouge the leather. The hardened gum should scrape off easily.  If you chose to put your piece of leather in a bag and into the freezer, remove it and chip it away with a hard, flat-edged tool as listed above. After you have done this, proceed with all of the other steps listed in this method. Use a damp, clean cloth to rub some saddle soap onto the spot where the gum was until you have a light lather on the leather. Clean any remaining spot where the gum was stuck to the leather with the saddle soap lather, using circular motions to rub it into the spot. Scrub any small bits of gum remaining with a soft, dampened toothbrush. The toothbrush bristles will work to dislodge the lathered gum. The gum should be completely removed when you are done with the toothbrush. Wipe off the saddle soap with a second, damp clean cloth. You don’t want to wash the lather away with water because water, if left on the leather for too long, will damage the color of the leather. The leather conditioner will help to ensure that there is no discoloration caused by the gum, soap lather, and damp cloth.
summary: Rub the gum with ice. Chip away the hardened gum. Apply some saddle soap to the spot. Use the saddle soap to get rid of any gum remnants. Use a toothbrush for the hard to remove bits. Remove the saddle soap lather.  Use a leather conditioner on the spot after it has dried.
