Never tore it, just moved it!! The only thing we did to stop this was bought one of those little frames with the red/yellow flower thing on each corner ... she couldn't get the frame out of the pen so she gave up on dragging!! One thing we did do from "day one" ... was make sure she always had a supply of "chewing" things handy! Every time she tried to do anything with that mouth instead of eat, we stuck something "chewable" in her mouth. Didn't take her long and when she got that chew urge, she would dig through her toys and find the proper thing to chew on ... still does!! Another "truth" about Toto [2 yrs. old], she has never, ever chewed on anything that doesn't belong to her and never destroyed any of her things .... with the exception of her all time favorite, a little scrap of paper!! That's her favorite "no-no thing" and you accidentally drop a piece, you better be real fast to grab it up ... the Toto "2 second rule applies"!!  |
Well I guess I've got the second that never shread a pee pad. I just put mine down
on a flannel back plastic tablecloth and thats it. She is not a chewer either. Just
kidding about being the second - I know lots of people whose dogs have never
shread them. They do say to be very careful and not to use them with young
pups because they could choke on them. The washable ones that Sylvan
mentioned would be better at a young age.
