you can buy a spray at at petsmart that tastes bitter to dogs. spray it on anything you dont want them to chew on and when they start to chew it the taste will repel them. and it wont make them sick or anything.

Firstly, try to keep all shoes out of the dog's reach. This is a lot harder than it seems, so you might also want to get Bitter Apple spray from the pet store, and spray it on all your shoes so that they don't taste so yummy anymore. Sometimes a dog chews when he or she is bored. Try taking your dog for a jog [or walk] at some point in the day. It might just solve the whole problem! Also, it's best to provide your dog with lot's of things he can chew on-like rawhides, bones, tennis balls, and the such. He should soon be leaving those poor shoes alone.

You simply wean it again. When your dog was weaned from milk to dog food it took time. This will also take time. Start with 25% dog food and 75% human food (mozz. and salami). About a week later change it to 50% and 50%. After about 1 - 2 weeks change it to 75% dog food and 25% human. Then about a week later change it to just dog food. My time periods were weeks whereas yours could be months. Just make sure you take your time and don't force your dog.

I'd suggest either pulling your foot away/gently pushing the dog back with a firm "No!" or "Leave it!", also try spraying some bitter spray on them. You can buy it at dog stores, it tastes bad to dogs and will hopefully deter yours from gnawing on your shoe.

Train it. The only way for puppies or dogs to do what you want or don't want them to do is to train them. :-)
