How do I get my puppy to stop chewing the carpet?

Take a chew toy from your dog and say “No!” loudly and firmly. Redirect his desire to chew toward the toy in your hand when he looks up at you. Every time your dog starts chewing on the carpet, repeat this procedure until the problem is solved. Be sure to give him lots of praise each time he takes the toy and uses it as a chew toy.

What age do puppies stop chewing everything?

Puppies are motivated to chew by curiosity and the discomfort of teething. Dogs go through a similar stage as human infants when their baby teeth fall out and their adult teeth begin to emerge. A baby’s intense chewing phase typically ends around six months of age.
