There’s 4 common reasons dogs chew on wood:
- Dogs like to chew on things and wood is readily available outside and easy to get in the wild, making sticks a common “chew toy.”
- They may enjoy the taste of it.
- Maybe it’s just out of boredom or fixation, like adults chewing gum.
- A dog chewing wood could mean a nutrient deficiency (similar to why dogs eat grass).
The stick in the yard are removable, but the furniture in your house is obviously not. Have you tried giving him a chew toy?
