| Chewing holes!!! I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but my yorkies tend to like chewing the walls, drywall!!! Ugh! While I was at work Tues, our 2 female puppies chewed a big hole in our wall, right behind their kennel. They are in a kennel while I'm gone (big size kind, so I'm not cruel). They scratched or chewed right through to the insulation and then there was throw up in their kennels. I was really worried about them, but they seem to be find. Have you ever found any of you babies doing something like that? This isn't the first dog of ours to do this. Needless to say, my hubby wasn't too thrilled with the new hole. :-( |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Only Rebel has been a wall chewer. He chewed a hole about the size of a nickle. I just scolded at him everytime I saw him doing it. I never spanked him or yelled at him, I just picked him up and made him look me in the eye and told him that was being a bad boy. He's eventually left the wall alone and has gone for more fun stuff like shoes and my son's toys!

| Wall eater.... Chelsea DID it! Husband was cleaning our pool, and she was bothering him, (I was out of town), so he put her in the utility room, and she chewed a hole, size of a door knob, in the wall. BOTH got busted! He had to fix the wall, he placed a solid plate cover on it, after he patched it. I think she went after the wall paper, and then thru the wall. Next time I was out of town, I boarded her, and DH missed her...so they both paid for the "crime"!!! What upset me more, is that her kennel was two feet away from the hole, how easy it would have been for him to place her in her kennel, while he worked outdoors....MEN!!! Chelsea'sMOM |

| They were bored. Bored puppies can get into all kinds of trouble. I don't know what to suggest except maybe it would be a good excuse to quit work!

| Brutus chewed the molding in my laundry room and my husband was furious! I hope he doesn't notice that he just ripped the seam on my couch in the family room. I guess I'll have to turn the cushions before he gets home!

| I still laugh at my friend. She found the perfect solution for this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My friend put her little pup in the laundry room whenever she had to leave. He was a tiny little pup, but he really started doing some major damage. So, she started giving him a roll of toilet paper to play with everytime she left. Of course, she went home to a roll of toilet paper that had been shredded into a million pieces - and what fun the puppy must have had. But no other damage was ever done...as long as he had his toilet paper. That's not the funniest part. She would take all the torn up toilet paper, put it in a wastebasket and put it in the kid's bathroom. Above the wastebasket was a sign, "This is toilet paper - use it!!" And they did! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carol Jean |

| I have never had problems with my dogs chewing things, like walls, furniture ect... not even the puppies when they were here. But I do have many, many toys that I change frequently... so they don't get bored. I could have just been lucky with the 4 yorkies that I have had here so far. But I did notice that when they got bored with the toys they would search out other things to chew, like a paper that my daughter dropped ect... so I learned to change out their toys more often. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | My other Yorkie Gracie chewed two holes in the walls and maya my pom also chewed a hole in the wall. Cali has torn a hole in the carpet and a hole in the wall all while my 20 year old dtr was suppossed to be watching her. Cali has also damaded woodwork. I do keep a close ey on them but it happens so fast. But my motto is If you want a perfect lonely house don't have animals!! They are worth all the repairs.

| Chew survivor! Chelsea is now 13 months old, and continues to chew.....anything that she can reach. We have had many toys destroyed, replaced, and destroyed again. The rule of thumb is, if its on the floor its hers! Luckily, anything she has ingested has NOT made her ill, maybe its her size...our TEAPOT Yorkie is 16 lbs. Is there a toy I have missed, that can be presented to a major Yorkie chewer???? Forget stuffed or rubber toys, those are attacked and destroyed with in minutes, she has even managed to destroy the flap on her doggie door, TWICE! Any suggestions are welcomed! Hugs, Chelsea'sMom |
