| Do you have any Bully Stick Rules??? (I try to be good with the forum usage, but I wasn't sure if this was "fun and toys" or not.) Do you guys have any bully stick "rules"? Both of mine love the bully sticks. I take them away if they get aggressive and when they become too short and too soft. But do you guys let them take them wherever they want? They just get so gross and disgusting and make them drool or slobber so much. Yesterday, I cleaned the couch, so I'd like to make a new rule of no bully sticks on the couch. (You can stop laughing at the attempt at a "new rule" anytime.) It's not going very well. There is an absolute rule of no bully sticks in bed. And even though I pick them up at night, Reggie, who has the run of the house will find one and bring it to bed in the middle of the night. I'd just like to get ideas of how you guys manage the bully sticks.

| well....i HAVE rules....do they always get paid attention to......no haha I don't let my guys leave the kitchen with them. If they do bring them into the living room they are ABSOLUTELY NOT allowed on any furniture with their sticks. They have to stay in their blanket or in the crate while thew chew on it in the living room. Typically they're good to behave, but something they sneak up on me in other spots. haha I do throw them away when they get down to a nub that can fit all the way in their mouth. The risk of them accidently losing grip and swallowing it whole and choking just freaks me out too much.

| Hi, I'd like to think I "make" the rules..especially when it comes to bully sticks (super messy, don't want them on the bed), buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, my fur kid has found ways to break them. For example: Tobi is NOT allowed to have his bully stick on the bed, so everytime he hops on w/his bully stick, I take it and throw it onto HIS bed. When I throw it on his bed, he goes and sits on his bed and munches happily away for about 30 seconds..then he grabs it and hops back onto the bed. This goes on for..oh...about 10-15 minutes..and eventually he wins and I just get tired of fighting him! hahaha Good luck on the whole "rules" thing though!
