you guessed it! Chaos chewed the 2nd pair of flip flops in too.
He better be glad I
him so much! After the other day, I went and bought 2 new pair of flip flops and decided I wanted to teach him not to chew shoes so purposely left them out. Was doing awesome at telling him no when he went near them, left the room for literally 5 seconds, came back and the were almost chewed in half......ahhhhh, the joys of having a puppy

thats why i trained my family to put their shoes in the cupboard......way easier 
I think it definately will be easier to put them up instead of teaching him, had a friend who taught her eb not to eat shoes so that was my original plan. Detour in place
