      My 8 month old Shephard mix puppy does this, recently she tried to chew the water pipe (plastic) Ive learned wear them out to where they are relaxing when you have to leave them, or train them to be alone and don't need attention 24/7 for example. put your dog in the area that they destroy the most and start there (Luna's problem is outside), leave the house/room with door closed and wait 5 seconds if they stay calm and don't get into it praise them, if they do Scald them redirect them to what they can chew and do it again.... Luna's record is 8 minutes..... then she ate the pipe..... I can leave her in the house and nothing gets destroyed but the smells, sounds, sights and what ever might be outside gets her wired up. I hope this helps you if not Im sorry.

      Maybe your dog needs a good 70 minute run, the walks might not be enough.
      With my last dog I used to get a tennis ball and wack it off into the distance as far as I could until she got tired and was panting or had enough this was plus a morning run. She was a Kelpie though.
      Walking wouldn't have done a thing for her, unless it was a nature walk, beach walk or a hike that took a few hours and was something new to explore.

And then rewarding her with treats or pets when she would lay on the ground or in her bed, and would chew her toys. It took months to get her to stop, though. She started acting up at 3 months and got a lot worse around 5 months old. And didn't fully stop until close to a year.

    We have left her with many toys, including puzzle toys, chew bones etc She chews books etc We adopted her from the Humane Society- she was a three strikes dogs, adopted 3 other times and returned for chewing dry wall, door handles, window trimming. We thought that getting her with a calmer dog, routine, more exercise would help. It hasn’t consistently helped. There is nothing consistent about what she chews. We put things up and then she finds something new.

      Well, this isn't a " dog site", Monica..This is UA-cam. This insanity came up in my sidebar when I was watching videos of dog owners who refuse to clean up after their dogs, which is a huge problem in the rural area where I live..I saw this craziness and felt compelled to comment, as I cannot get over how dog worshippers put up with dogs who bite people or destroy vast amounts of personal property, There is simply no reason for this..There are many dogs out there who behave perfectly and they should be the type of dogs people are seeking out, not these mentally challenged head cases, like a 3 strikes dog, which should have been put down after the first issue..I also think it is cruel to keep dogs in cages all day long, they are better off being euthanized than living that way, it's sickening..They never should have been domesticated and removed from the wild in the first place. They are filthy, destructive animals who only do anything for anyone who is their food source.This is in their nature. I mean, come on, they eat their own feces and lick their own junk all day and if you died in your house, the dog would start to eat you( this has happened many times) proving they are incapable of love, as most misguided dog owners insist they are..I don't understand the attraction, other than it is an easy relationship for people who want to completely control something else, rather than forming a healthy give and take relationship, as they would with another human being.

    Good tips. My recent rescue that I have had 9 weeks now is a 4-year-old puppy. He was a stray prior to me getting him, and he has no manners or household awareness. He only started chewing on one particular door jamb this week. And he must be doing it while I am sleeping, since I have been working from home for the past 3 weeks, and I have never caught him in the act. So I went with some hot sauce and a little cayenne pepper on said door jamb, which he sampled and was not quite sure what to make of it. But I think he dislikes it enough to leave the door jamb alone now.

In a panic this dog chews and scratches through fence gates even completely devouring 2x4's. There will be blood spots everywhere for her mouth and paws. They even used metal flashing on the gate and this dog still destroyed the gate. This is some sort of nervous condition.

    When I first gotten my (now 5 yr old) Beagle Sheltie mix, he had food aggression& Separation Anxiety, (former pound puppy, and when his previous owner adopted him, as a puppy, he was kept in a tiny kitchen all day while she worked), he still has the Separation Anxiety, but he also will chew if someone is in the room with him, but not directly interacting with him, (like if they are sleeping). I have gotten him plenty of chew toys, and a crate, but he will still chew first chance he gets. When you said "Clean Up", we would have to put the whole house up, for he will just find new things to chew. We have a crate, however I think he's had a traumatic experience in one, cause he HATES it. Is there anything we can do to stop him from eating us from house and home? We use his Kong, but he always works food out as soon as we give it to him.

    We have a blue heeler pup that we play with and give attention to (for hours) before bed, when we go to sleep, she'll selective destroy mostly my clothing, papers, and Tupperware. She knows this is wrong, but it's like she has too, even though we leave out toys, bones and chewing sticks for her (and our other older dog).

    Most of the people complaining that these things don't work probably don't walk their dogs as much as they should, and if you can't take time out of your day to make sure they get the proper mental stimulation as well as exercise, you shouldn't have a dog period. If they are exhausted from play, work and training, you won't have as many issues with destructive behavior. I just realized this with my pup. As of late, I've slacked on her exercise and training, and she's become destructive which is out of character. My fault, not hers! I'll do better.

      My wife and I walk our dogs four times per day. Once in the morning, once at noon, and twice int he evening. My wife runs 1.5-2 miles during the morning walk. I walk 1 mile with him when I return home from work and around the block at night before bed. I also rough-house with him daily after our first evening walk.
      My dog is never interested in puzzle toys.

    Raw bones have worked for me. Toys get destroyed quickly and puzzle toys are not the best when I’m gone for hours at a time. When the dog does this excessively, a crate and a raw beef bone helps and then of course keep training when I’m home. Time out when it’s caught in the act.

    My sons dog has never been chewer I always had toys for her . He moved took her with him . He brought her back 3 months later he couldn’t have her where he was living . I basically raised her the first year of her life . She is now back with me . She has picked up bad unwanted habits ! 1 chewing when she’s alone . Is this a bored dog ? Or separation anxiety? How do I break her of this ? She has shredded two dog beds . Started on furniture . I sprayed bitter spray seems to have worked but has went through several rugs . Any suggestions ? I have never had a dog that destroys things ! I’m at the point I don’t know what to do or how to deal with this behavior! By the way she is a pit bull mix . She is digging up my yard . And thinks my bed is where she sleeps ! She is a good girl when I’m home . Very sweet and loving . I don’t want to re home her in fear she will be used for the wrong things . And don’t want to hand her over to the local shelter . She wouldn’t understand why plus they do euthanize her I need help. Any suggestions?

In my houses restrooms, the toilet paper holder tends to be pretty low which, a medium size dog like mine can reach. He destroyed the first roll this morning, and another one around 1. I punished him by not giving him any treats and self isolated him for 10 minutes. He did it again just 10 minutes ago. I’m so frustrated that I don’t even know what to do.

I have been playing with her at least an hour a day.. we try to take her on walks but she tends to chew the harness/leash . And my family was thinking to get her a crate or taking her back to the pound. I don't want her to go to the pound. Crates can be expensive so I try to remember not to ask for anything so we can have enough money for a crate , if we can't get a crate my puppy would cause chaos in my house. I don't like to hear people fight.So I'ma try teaching her how to walk with a leash or get a spray bottle and fill it up with water,that way she won't be taken to the dog pound. I don't want her to become an unfriendly dog. So hopefully this would help 😊

    This better work. They’ve ruined 3 couches, chewed up the corners and trim of the walls and dug big holes all over the backyard. I’m usually a dog person and have never had any issues with dogs, but my wife’s dogs are just terrible. Last night I was making BBQ for our friends here on base for a small get together. They jumped on the table and began eating the BBQ right off the table. The first time I was upset but I figured “well they’re probably hungry I usually feed them this time a night, so I get their bowls and as I’m filling them with dog food, I hear a loud slam. They jumped onto the kitchen table again spilling my beer everywhere and began running around in it. And this morning I went to go take a shower, literally just like 20 minutes, came back out to check on them and the living room is destroyed. Mud EVERYWHERE, couch stuffing EVERYWHERE and they pulled a bunch to the back yard. Also we get noise complaints because they bark all the damn time. I swear I’ve never had this problem with any other dog I’ve had. I’ve always tried to cut them some slack and often blame myself, but this is getting out of hand. These two dogs are heavily weighing on our marriage. We love these dogs, but they’re making our life a living hell.

    I disagree with the raw bone verses cooked bones comment. I gave my pit bull a raw bone and she ended up with an obstruction and almost died. I have never had that problem with cooked bones.

      I have a belgian malinois which is one of the most difficult breeds to own, dogs chewing and destroying things at night is down to still having energy, getting bored and you not being awake to discipline them.
      The solution i found was to make sure my dog was exercised intensively before bed and then id give him a chew treat to settle him down and make him tired. Id also put him to bed before me and use an e collar to train him not to chew on his own bed etc. After a week or so, he stopped chewing completely and i didn’t even need the collar anymore
