When I get my dog a chew toy instead of chewing on it like a normal dog, she destroys it! I gave here a rope with a ball on each end and the next day the balls were ripped into a thousand pieces (literally) and the rope bat torn in half. And it was about 3/4 of an inch thick! She even breaks off the branches on my trees! She also rips up all my shoes even when I%26#039;m wearing them. If i push her away she%26#039;ll think i%26#039;m playing and start chewing harder causing me to kick her away. But instead of leaving me alone she comes back trying to chew on me again!
Not only does she chew everything but when I tell to stop breaking things she doesn%26#039;t take me seriously and starts playing with me.
And sometimes if she%26#039;s muddy and jumps on me I push her off and she gets mad and starts growling at me!
What should I do? Should I get a different dog? She%26#039;s a mix: Half Pembroke Welsh Corgy, quarter bull dog, and quarter black Labrador. But she is very cute...
My Dog Chews/Destroys Everything?
Try giving her plenty of chew toys and bones
Reply:Hey guess what...I do. And she just tears it up or get bored with it and chews on something else. Report It
Reply:Cry about it.
Reply:Sounds like a job for the Dog whisperer. I would also suggest strong toys and exercise but I think a muzzle would start getting her used to not chewing. Maybe you can use the muzzle only when she is doing the bad behavior and see if that works. Don%26#039;t give up on her so easy.

Reply:You have a very young dog. When your dog reaches about three, she will calm down. I have a Beagle, and she did the same thing. Be patient and provide strong toys.
Sorry it%26#039;s such a pain but if you love your dog, stick with her through thick and thin because the good news is that it will pass.
Reply:Sounds like a cutie but you rally need to go with her to doggy obedience school. . Keep big chews on hand for her. I use good made raw hides for my bullie breeds. But you need to let her know you are the higher being not her. If you loose this battle you will be very sorry.
Reply:Your puppy is bored and is releasing its energy the only way it can. First you need lots of chews toys, Kong%26#039;s are very good and are built to stand up to tuff chewers. You can also stuff Kong%26#039;s with peanut butter and other treats. It can be help with releasing some of that pent up energy. How old is your dog? Also you will want to consider walking your dog alot a tried dog or puppy is a well behaved one. Also when you are pushing your dog way or yelling at her you are giving her attention so she is going to keep doing it. Best thing to is freeze and yell ouch when she is biting. i would recommend that you do some dog training class%26#039;s also. I hope this helps you out.
Reply:My dog is like that, hes a german shepard mountain hound mix. You need to take that cute little girl to obediance classes. However with chewing, she%26#039;ll grow out of it as she gets older. Meanwhile get lots of bones. My dog chews on EVERYTHING if he doesnt have a bone: shoes, furnature, stuffed animals, anything he can find. Go to a feed store or a pet store and buy a big rawhide bone, they may cost you 7.99 - 12.99 for a good sized one, but theyll last awhile. While that entertains her you can also get a spray that they sell at pet stores that keeps them away from things you spray it on. She should grow out of this by the time shes 1 or 2. Good luck!
Reply:You need to learn how to be the boss and take control, also your dog is what is known as an %26quot;aggressive%26quot; chewer you need to provide her with indestructible toys such as Kongs, http://www.kongcompany.com/worlds_best.h... and Nylabones.http://www.nylabone.com/default.aspx?pag...
Your dog doesnt take you seriously because you are asking her and not telling her to do things... you are currently not the leader of your pack... I suggest practicing the Nothing in Life is Free training technique, it is simple and effective... http://www.pets.ca/articles/article-dog_...

Next you need to take A Lesson in becoming Alpha... http://www.pets.ca/articles/article-alph...
Getting a different dog wont solve the problem, because it is you who needs to learn how to train a dog so that it will be well behaved... no matter how many dogs you get they will all turn out the same unless YOU learn how to be the boss and take charge of your dogs training, and behaviour. The articles above will help you take control of your dog if you read and learn from the advice.
Reply:Yikes! This sounds bad, but don%26#039;t get rid of her! What you need to do is assert your authority. She may know you as %26quot;The Daddy%26quot; or %26quot;The Momma%26quot;, but that doesn%26#039;t mean that she respects you.
Get her plenty of toys, there are toys that are said to last long and be highly durable. They%26#039;re worth a try. Also, when she starts chewing on ANYTHING...I stress...ANYTHING other than those toys, discipline her. You%26#039;re going to have to teach her that only her toys are for chewing. No chewing shoes, hands, or even branches until she settles down.
When she won%26#039;t leave you alone, roll her onto her side and hold her down. If she bites, hold her muzzle shut. She will most likely scream like you%26#039;re hurting her, but don%26#039;t give in. This is how you%26#039;ll teach her to respect you like you deserve.
Reply:You should remove all items that your dog can chew on. Remove plants. Make sure electrical cords are out of reach. Pick up shoes and socks, and make sure there are no poisons or chemicals that your puppy can get his mouth on. If you have mouse traps or roach motels, get rid of them. Remove any object the puppy could put in his mouth. If he can put it in his mouth, he can choke on it. There is nothing more terrifying than seeing your little helpless puppy choking.
Always confine your puppy in a safe area while you are away. His crate is the safest place. You can also use baby gates in the kitchen or bathroom, but only after housebreaking is completed.
Closely watch your puppy. Puppies chew on whatever they can get their mouths on - for many reasons. Mainly, they are curious - and much like human babies, this is how they explore and learn about their world. They also chew because they are teething or because they are bored.
Make sure you provide plenty of chew toys. Give him a variety of toys to choose from so that when he chews on a forbidden object you can say %26quot;NO!%26quot; with a firm matter-of-fact voice and give him a toy. When he chews on his toys, praise him. If he continues to chew on?say?your favorite pair of leather shoes, treat it with a bitter tasting product such as %26quot;Bitter Apple%26quot; (available at pet stores).
Chewing is important for the health of your puppy%26#039;s teeth and gums. We like Nylabone, but there are many safe chew toys on the market.
Tempt him. After you have taught him what he can chew and what he can%26#039;t chew, it is time to put him to the test. Place tempting no-no %26#039;s near his okay-to-chew toys. Pretend you are not watching him. When he begins to put a forbidden object in his mouth, tell him %26quot;no%26quot; in your firm voice. You then need to leave the room, but watch him from around the corner. If you see him put the forbidden object in his mouth again, quickly correct him. Offer him his toy and if he accepts it, praise him and tell him %26quot;go get your toy, good boy/girl.%26quot; Later that will translate into another form of communication with your pet: Saying %26quot;go get your toy%26quot; when it is playtime will tell him to retrieve his toy and bring it to you, or at least into your vicinity.
Make certain your puppy gets plenty of exercise to burn off energy.
A bored puppy = a destructive, unhappy puppy.
Reply:SLING THE DOG ACROSS THE ROOM AND SAY STOP. JUST KINDING BUT KEEP IT FROM YOUR THINGS.
Reply:She needs more exercise!! Take her for a very long walk first thing in the morning, then when you get home practice all her commands...then feed her. Do that everyday and you will have a good dog! Most pet misbehaving is caused by a lack of exercise...especially if your dog is a lab cross!
Reply:Go to your pet store %26amp; buy this spray that%26#039;s very bitter tasting. It%26#039;s cheap and harmless to the dog and most everything. When it tastes this, it won%26#039;t chew anything you spray it on. I buy one called %26quot;Natures Miracle%26quot;, but there%26#039;s several brands out there. Good luck!
Also, my German Shepherds enjoy chewing on big blocks of wood. Sounds weird, but they love it and it lasts a long time.
