One of the simplest ways to stop dog chewing is to provide your dog with indestructible toys. When he chews, He can work on HIS stuff, NOT your furniture, shoes, cell phone, or eyeglasses.
Some dogs just love to chew and rip toys to shreds within
minutes. The Guinness Book of Records must record information about the canine
who can remove a squeaker toy and scatter stuffing the fastest! Not a very
hopeful thought, but many dogs never grow out of this phase - so OK-to-chew
The Ultimate Chew Toy
For the cost of a few squeaker toys, you can get the
ultimate, nearly indestructible chew toys – GoughNuts. The originals came in
Green, Black, and .75 (a smaller version). Now there are stick versions of
these miracles, also in green and black. The black ones were designed for the
strong Big Boy or Girl Chewer – usually a larger dog.
Each of these items has an inner core of red material
surrounded by either the black or green substance.
Goughnuts come in 6 different varieties and are virtually indestructible. If your dog is able to chew through to the red area, you call the manufacturer ASAP for a replacement. Black Goughnuts are stronger than green ones and are for extreme chewers.
