Why does my puppy...

want to chew EVERYTHING....EXCEPT his gazillion toys??

I only give him a few each day, we rotate them so he doesn't get sick of them. But he prefers photo albums, wires, carpeting - I spray Bitter Apple but then he just finds another sopt.

Why why why???

My Mom's dog does that. He actually ate a Kong toy.

Good luck!

Re: Why does my puppy...

try hot red pepper flakes if bitter apple isn't working...Gus just used to lick the bitter apple, but he really hated the hot red pepper! Labs are tricksters...just keep "trading", tell him no and give him a marrow filled with cheese, or a kong filled with those peanut butter things....good luck!

Well it's better now that I don't keep him in my office all day with me -- he is confined to the kitchen for a few hours now.

ETA - thanks for the suggestions!!!!!

Tell me about it. Mine chewed the carpet the other dayChat Icon This is after she polished off an entire beer can that she found outside!! She literally shredded it it pieces. Luckily she must have a stomach of steel otherwise we would be spending a lot of $$ at the vets!! My 2 year old lab outgrew this so I am hoping she will too and soonChat Icon
