Free dog to good home...

Define exercise. And some puppies are just terrors...so I definitely understand issues even with exercise.

Fetch, walks, dog park, puppy class, let her chase the laser (she's like a cat)

Overall she's pretty good. Still a puppy though. This is the first thing she's tore up since she came to my house

I found that buying big dog bones and leaving them in places around the house can keep them busy for quite a while. One of my dogs is super hyper and those big ass bones keep her busy and out of trouble.

When my dog was a pup we left her in the house one day to go grocery shopping. While we were gone, she played with my CD collection. Chewed up and broke into small bits about a dozen CDs...


She's outgrown all that now.

Lol @ that pic/her face

She'll get better with time. It takes some maturing and she should stop destroying shit.

I had a pointer mix pup that would chew up my shoes until I tied one to her collar and let her wear it for two weeks. Seemed cruel at the time and it got some laughs, but it worked!

Kong with a little peanut butter helped us immensely in keeping my brother-in-law's high energy puppy occupied while we dog sat for a week. Those things are great. We were lucky with our dogs as puppies, as most of their destruction was limited to their actual toys. While in puppy stage we would go through a couple of toys a week, some lasting all of 10 minutes. lol

we buy rawhide chews in bulk.

A few years ago, I dumped a big bag of toys out in the floor, and my dog just got super excited and pissed on the floor. Too much to play with.

Haha! You're supposed to only give them access to a couple at a time, and rotate them every couple days, to keep them interested.

Every time I buy a rawhide, fake bone, or real bone from the butcher, my dog will go bury them and never touch them again.

Then she'll go chew a stick.

That was the plan. I came home from the store and dumped the bag to cut tags off, and place them throughout the house. He pissed the second they hit the floor.

does this bother your dog's stomach?

And I figured you knew that. I was really just saying that to add to the other comments about training and whatnot.

We gave her a big bone 3 weeks ago and she tore it apart quickly. I've been finding pieces she "hides for later" ever since. Almost always a piece in my shoe or tucked under the couch.

Fucking jinxed myself for reading this thread!

left the 11 month old pup out again for about 45 minutes (I think it is her 6th time), came in and she had chewed her bed tiny pieces... She knew she was in trouble when I walked in. She went straight to her time out pen, tail down, and sad eyes.

Last 3 times we left her out, she was good. Not this time. She has destroyed 5 beds now. Don't know what it is with her and the zipper, then the foam inside it, but she chews the hell outa the zippers.
