When do dogs finish teething?
My dog just turned two. He has never been big on chewing. Lately, he's been chewing a lot. When we're outside he seeks out sticks or wood chips. Inside, he finds and uses chew toys he never really had interest in before. Could he be teething at this age or did he just find a new hobby?

I think that your dog has found a new hobby :-)
Dogs usually finish teething around 8 months of age, although the exact schedule varies from breed to breed.

No, teething occurs between 3-6 months of age (roughly).
Many dogs do enjoy chewing as it a form of exercise for them and helps relieve stress. If this is a new activity, then perhaps he's not getting as much exercise or attention now, as he did before. Or, like you said, its just a new hobby that he really enjoys. Either way, dogs that chew on a regular basis have healthier teeth and gums. Just make sure he's chewing appropriate items that won't splinter or make him choke.

my puppy is 6 months, and we are still finding her little baby teeth around the floor. in any case, dogs like to chew. keep lots of chew toys around for him.
