F*****g dog
Anyone got any ideas on how to stop dogs chewing things?
I know he's only 7 months old, and we've got really good at putting everything away after we've used it (rakes, spades, hoses (after 3 were eaten), and anything else you use in the yard).
Bout 5 mins ago I went for a nice stroll round the garden - got bored and decided to jump on the quad for a blast.
Looked at the left hand grip and its bloody well not there anymore
daft little b****d ate the whole thing (and it had the supercool grip warmers which should cost a pretty penny to replace).
Needless to say oh will be less than amused when he gets home and the idiot dog is currently hiding out somewhere in the yard.
Any tips before he eats the car?

Re: F*****g dog
he has loads of things to chew - he knocked down the wood pile the other day trying to get hold of a particularly tasty (I would presume) piece of wood right off the top (which I now have to restack 
), a training dumbell type aid which looks more like a luminous orange dildo, and a wide range of furry toys (which are more like pieces of muddy cloth now).
He chews the cats too (they have gotten used to him putting their heads in his mouth) loves to chase the cows (til they kick him but he doesn't learn
) and swims in the water trough.
If he was bored or lonely I could believe it but he has so much (and us) to keep him entertained, it's not that.
I do love him but am seriously considering duck taping his mouth together.

Find him a good chewing object, rawhide etc...
My dog still likes to eat (yes eat) golf balls and sidewalk chalk...at least I know where he's pooping

You should rub his nose in it when he does it again.

Re: F*****g dog
Maybe he's teething. Try rubbing some brandy on his gums.

Re: F*****g dog
He's still a pup and is likely teething.
It should stop at 9-10 months, if not then you're going to try to train him out it. Although it wouldn't hurt to start now.
Not sure if this will help or not. http://dogobedienceadvice.com/how_st...om_chewing.php

Re: F*****g dog
He's a field bred English springer (cue cute picture of the idiot in question)
Not really left alone - he's an outside dog with everything he could wish for, and as I said we spend most of the time outdoors with him so it's not that.
He's probably just being a puppy (and I was joking about the collar!!!!) but it riles me to replace everything a million times just because he can't keep his trap shut
