My flemish seems to enjoy chewing anything andeverything he can get a hold of. Clothes, furniture, even me. He isabout 7 months old... and still hasnt gotten used to being handledeitherhe just tries to jump down when picked up

Any suggestions to whatI should do?

One thing you maywant to concider doing is tieing upthem cords to that heater/ fan andmaking anything chewable hidden , orblocked off .

when he starts chewing on your clothes aSharp NO! should start the process ofknowing its a bad thing .

to get him used to beingheld I can suggest getting onthe floor with himand having him start by sittingeither on your stomach or chest. slowly bringyour arms up and ifhe shies put them back down, keep repeating till youcan get your arms around him, Keep in mind this is not an over nightprocess , its going to taketime ,

Or you can have him sit on yourlap either on the couch ora chair and try thesame thing , Getting them used to beingheld takes time , butif your patient you will suceed.
