Default Chew chew destroy!
Old 08-23-2008, 01:37 PM   #1 (permalink)

Ok, Roger is 10 months old and chews everything he can still. I can't give him a bed in his den because he chews it to pieces, he's having a harder time with the towel that's in there now. He chews wood furniture too. I have toys for him, put 1 in his den when I leave. I tried wedging treats in a kong ball, but in a month, he learned way to get them out in 5 min or less. Pressed rawhide bones don't last and he does ok on a hoof, but if I leave him out of sight for too long, he goes to the coffee table. Bitter apple, he likes it

How much longer will this last, any other sugestions would be appreciated!

Have you tried putting peanut butter in his kong and freezing it? It lasts A LOT longer and might keep him occupied. They make peanut butter just for the kongs.

Probably nothing...just a money-making scheme. I try to get PB that is straight up peanuts and no sugar though. You can also freeze plain yogurt or baby food in the kong as well. Bully sticks and raw bones (marrow bones--recreational or meaty bones) are good too. He may need some extra exercise and stimulation as well--more walks, runs, play with other dogs, fetch (mine loves Chuck-It), tug/rope toys, learning tricks/commands. It's also probably part of the age. The key is just to redirect him to more appropriate chewing and play. Good luck!
