My 1 year old dog destroys/chews on everything she shouldn't. Is she lacking something in her system?
Chewing on lots of things is very normal behavior for young dogs - it normally diminishes on its own with age, but in the meantime you can do some things to help. First and foremost, make sure that she has plenty of chew items and long-lasting treats available to provide an appropriate outlet for this behavior - things like bully sticks, cow or pig ears, large rawhide chews, and puzzle toys such as a Kong stuffed with peanut butter are all good options. Keep clothing, shoes, and other objects put away out of her reach, just as you would for a toddler or small child. I would also recommend supervising her closely so that you can redirect her to one of her chews if she starts to chew on something she shouldn't. Finally, Bitter Apple spray can be used on furniture, baseboards, or other areas to help discourage chewing. If the destructive behavior is only happening when you're not home, I would be concerned that she may have separation anxiety - you can video tape her one day while yo

My dog is a desexed male red cattle x approx 6 months and destroyes the yard and chews things up, would getting him a friend help in any way?
I think at the moment he is probably bored and his overexcitable behaviour doesn't help much either. You should try to help him keep calm by giving him a place where he can settle, entertain himself , for example offering him a kong stuffed with some dog food , then put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Make sure that the kong is not too small other ways he could ingest it.

How can I stop my 8 month old pup from chewing on EVERYTHING,she has chewed holes in brand new blankets, chewed up her bed,toys if she can get it in her mouth she is goin to chew,rip tear ,it up?
Kailana is adorable! Thanks for including some pictures. I certainly understand and sympathize with your situation. I have one younger dog that has a lot of destructive energy and loves to destroy everything. I have a few suggestions for you that have helped me. First, find things that will keep her mouth busy. One thing that people think of first is treats that keep them busy for a longer period of time. This does seem to help. You can use long lasting treats like a Kong filled with peanut butter, yogurt, treats, etc and frozen so it takes longer for her to eat. My dog also really like Bully Sticks which I also freeze to make them last a little longer. Keep her mentally and physically busy during meal times. I love using a feeding balls like a Buster Cube or Tricky Treat ball to feed meals in. It keeps my dog busy for at least 5-10 minutes at each meal and requires him to work. And speaking of working. I have found that my dog is the most tired after we have done a good roun

So we are going to use a remote collar to train the puppy to never chew the chainlink fence she doesn’t do it often . A trainer on YouTube Solidk9 training recommended. I think it’s better to have a mild stem correction than broken teeth one day. Als
Sport dog is a good brand with several levels of correction. This will not be effective for chewing unless you are always there to correct her. If she chews when you are not home there is no way to know or enforce or correct this. For any training you have to ask them to perform something they know, such as sit. If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond

Max is 1. He went through his teething phase. He chewed shoes and laundry. But then we got him to stop. Now months later he is doing it again. Suddenly he is chewing things he knows he shouldn't. Like my pajamas, hats, workout gloves, sleepi
I'm so sorry you're going through this with Max. Unfortunately, young dogs have a lot of energy that can become destructive if they don't have any other outlet for it. The simplest short term solution might be to crate Max during the day while you're gone, but I think the best long term solution will be to find appropriate outlets for his energy. One of my favorite things for young dogs are feeding balls and toys such as a BusterCube. You can feed his entire meal in it, which will take him a while and require him to "play" more. I would also strongly recommend some additional training classes. It sounds simple, but my dog is 2 years old and he is always tired (and better behaved) for a day after an obedience class because he really worked his mind. I would also consider a doogy care care or dog walking service. That can make a world of difference. I hope that gives you some ideas. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
