| Chews her bed up!!!! I have a yorkie/bichon mix, she is 10 months old ...she has a pen in the dining room where since we got her at 9 weeks old she stays in when I am at work. She has gone through 4 beds so far, and the last one was a KONG bed. I dont understand why she rips them up...doesnt seem to do it to anything else. I am thinking of taking her pen down and letting her have run of my 3 rooms, as it is open plan. Anyone else have this problem, Why does she chew up her beds? Will she do this to my furniture if I let her free while I am gone? I have another yorkie who is 5 years old and he does not chew anything and is very relax dog .... Need help please..........Thankyou

| I have 4 Yorkies and my oldest Tessie has always done this, she will shake the bed and tear holes in it and then hump it, she is spayed. My vet said it is a dominant thing. She has never torn up anything else in the house. My other 3 Yorkies have never done this.Tessie is a nervous dog so I don't know if this is why she does it. I would sew up the beds until I couldn't repair them anymore. She doesn't do this with her bed in her crate where she sleeps. I have no idea how to stop her either. She doesn't like to play with the other dogs. Good Luck.

| This is what Bella does, she skakes her bed and when I am not home she chews a big hole in it, even tho she has toys....Someone told me maybe my Bella does not like being in the pen as my other yorkie is free to roam because he is not ripping things up ...he is so calm. I am not sure whats going on.... I hate putting her in the pen if this is why she is tearing stuff up, thats she is unhappy (

| I made my sister's stuffing digging husky a bed out of fleece with no stuffing-it is shaped like a cylinder and folds into itself. It worked so well I made small ones for Ziva and Abby out of very soft upholstery fabric.(It is similar to simplicity pattern #3906 view C, but not fuzzy.) They are easy to wash without the stuffing (Ziva has an occassional marking problem) and a little cooler for our climate. |

| Xena never tore up her bed but I have caught her flipping it over and scratching at the bottom. She likes to dig. I gave her this bone shaped floor matt to lay on instead of the tile floor and to put her toys on but after 2 months of nothing she flipped it over and chewed a hole almost all the way through, thus began her chewing phase. Then she chewed the doorframe in my kitchen. So I baught her a carpet cat scratching post. It is in the shape of an S and is made of wood and carpet. It did wonders. She loved it. She chewed on the corners, sits in the little u part and climbs on the small hump. Since then she has not tried to chew the doors or anything she's not supposed too. I would suggest getting a scratching post ( like this one http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/209..._furniture.jpg ) or something similar for her to chew on to distract her away from tearing up her bed. |
