[BUTTERYGOODNESS]

I I've had this pup for a couple months now and it's doing good bout 4.5 months old. But the little bastard won't stop chewing on the baseboard in my brand new house!!!!! I'm bout to kill it!! But can't cuz to my wife this is out baby lol anyone have any remedies for this? First dog on my own (my dad usually trained our dogs as a kid, says to whips its ass but that's not doin to well so far)

[fit2bOld]

Go to the lumber yard and get it its own piece, then spray hot pepper on the chewed area.

crate train ur dog dude! mine loves his crate. its like his space and i dont have to worry about him. he stays in the yard all day (petsafe wireless pet containment system) and i bring him in at nite and he stays in his crate and sleeps. loves it in there and i dont have to worry! it also helps house break him as well. its a win-win!

[optionsdude]

Agree with 405,crate training is the way to go. I don't even have to close the door on the crates for my dogs. My dogs have free run of the house but spend a lot of time in their crates.

x3 on the crate.

[BUTTERYGOODNESS]

Awwww I need to invest in one then right now we keep her in a carrier at night and let her go wherever otherwise. How much is a wireless containment system

[--->>405<<---]

about 300bucks but it allows u to keep the dog in the yard without a fence or wires. u may wanna wait til the pup is a little older so itll understand whats going on. u have to train it with the receiver collar on beep and flags around the perimeter until the pup gets it. then u can change the collar to difft levels of static correction (shock). very effective and a lot cheaper than a fence!

in the meantime the crate is for indoor containment.

chek petsmart for the wireless pet containment. brand: PetSafe

Crate and bitter apple spray for woodwork. Sounds like he's teething.

[BUTTERYGOODNESS]

Thanks for the info 405!!

Riptorn- good call!!!!! Just checked and the bottom teeth are coming in lol
I have a lot of chew toys but none are very hard. Shoul I get a harder toy to chew?

Get some pigs ear or rawhide

Gotcha thnx

[Nicotine]

it needs more walks and way more toys.

find the gummy "nylabones".

it's either bored or has nothing to chew on. puppies need to chew.

[Lunk1]

Puppies chew...just what they do! They do it because of teething and boredom. Give them something else to focus on and plenty of healthy toys to chew on. Although being puppies they will ignore the toys and chew a table leg.

I love crate training...although I prefer the solid plastic crates as opposed to the wire ones. Puppies can break off teeth on the wire crates rather easily. It gives them a den type of feeling that they rather enjoy. Makes housebreaking a breeze!

[Nicotine]

yah, all my dogs are crate trained. i trust them all %100 tho.

how can you not trust this face:



LOL

when he was a puppy, i heard a "bang pow crash" and lots of horsing around in the hallway. I walk out of the room, he just sits down and looks at me like "what?"



so then i asked if he did it...he talked back pretty loudly :



puppies are awesome.

[BUTTERYGOODNESS]

Wish I knew all this before so i wouldn't have to fix my baseboard everywhere lol some paint will do for now

[red_hulk]

About a month after I got my pup he started chewing holes in the middle of walls, I have no idea how he did it, but he would chew on a lot of stuff (including my girlfriends shoes) but he grew out of it. That wasn't even the worst, had a dog that we kept in the kitchen when we weren't home she destroyed all the cabinets and chairs I didn't like that dog lol

[calgarian]

oh damn and here i thought that you finally admitted to be ur wife's puppy....

hey butter what kind of dog is it? just so u know i have a bluetick coonhound who turned 2yrs old last month and hes still a little wild. itll take a good 18-30months (give or take) for him/her to lose the puppy and settle down! LOL... (poor bastard)

[Capebuffalo]

Do not do this. Encourages him to chew leather. Like shoes.

[DSM4Life]

[--->>405<<---]

my dog loves rawhide and pig ears. i keep my shoes by the laundry room door and if hes out of his crate im watching him like a hawk so i dont worrry about him eating shoes. he has never expressed any interest in them either.

[Capebuffalo]

Get a kong. Put treats and or peanut butter in it. Will keep him occupied for hours.

I have never had a dog chew my shoes. But every girlfriend and wife...yes

[--->>405<<---]

yeh i forgot about the kong! i need to get one of those.

[milky01623]

Indestructible toy!!!!!!
My border killed one in 2 says :-/

Hahaha it's usually worth it in the long run. Or you're just stuck with something you don't like for 8-10 years...unless there is an "accident" lol

[BUTTERYGOODNESS]

Sure do one sec...

[BUTTERYGOODNESS]

You can find a crate for around 100-125 if you look around online. petcratesdirect.com is a good place to start. The good old kong mentioned above is also great for hyper dogs. Stuff with treats and peanut butter throw it in the crate and your good to go for a while.

Chocolate and yellow. Oh I know

[Lunk1]

Chocolate and yellow. Oh I know

Labs are born with a desire to have something in their mouth...just make sure to give them something to fulfill that desire. Man I miss my Yellow soooo bad!!!!! ;(((((
