| You Did WHAT With that mouth?!? Princess has passed by most of her destructive chewing, with a few exceptions of course, but i couldn't be happier that time is over!! she has chewed CD's, printer cords, cell phone chargers, a laptop charger, corners of the walls & carpet!! even the crib my dad made my daughter for her american girl doll--he made that out of a cradle he made for me at birth! so what kind of destructive mayhem has your baby done? maybe this thread can help us vent, feel better that we're not alone, or even feel lucky that our "damage" wasn't to the same extent as others!

| Laptop cord, Xbox 360 cord, carpet, underwear stolen from the dirty clothes basket (yuk!), socks galore, lots of flip flops --these seem to be her favorite! We had all been in the habit of kicking off our flip flops at the door. We tried to retrain ourselves but occasionally would forget. All it would take was a second and she would have the part that goes between the toes chewed through, making them instantly useless! I am mostly describing my late Sadie, bless her heart -- she was the chewer to beat all chewers. Ben was not bad and Annie has not been a problem with chewing things up at all. Not sure what makes one chew more than another but they are all different.

| I can honestly say that Jack has never chewed anything he wasn't supposed to have. He is a good boy! And of course, has me wrapped around that little paw of his....

| I can say I have only had 3 of mine when they were puppies and not one of them ever chewed on any thing at all. I kept waiting for it to happen and it never did. I guess I was very lucky.

| Bailey...phone cords, I bet she chewed 20 or more...I would think I had it puppy proof...WRONG. Bella...DH and I call her our chewing machine she has chewed a small fortune in shoes, hand bags, remote controls, the corner of my china cabinet , my wicker patio set (the legs) Cell phone chargers, xbox hand controller...oh the list could go on..... Harley...not so much on my stuff and he is 6 mos old shocker I know but, he is not a big fan of chewing unless its a bully stick or his toys (good boy) He will shred paper like paper shredder tho.

YT 1000 Club Member | Neither of mine were very destructive at all, but... I use some "Training Cords", one two wire Lamp Cord, and the other is a Coaxial Cable (about 6 ft each). When I get a new puppy, i lay the cords out on the floor, they're kinda wadded up, just like they would be behind a couch or table. Every time the new guy approaches them he gets a strong NO. Doesn't take long for him to get the idea, and, this is done at MY leisure, not his ! Other than that, new guys are in a restricted area, where there are no other cords available, and I pick the cords up when I'm not trying to train. I do the same thing with shoes. Make sure you do have proper Chew Toys available, and praise him when he chooses the right thing to chew.

YT 1000 Club Member | Also...(darn the 5 minute edit rule) or I would have added this to my last post... Dogs generally see in only three colors... Yellow, Blue and Grey (varying intensities of each) You might select his Chew Toys of only one of those colors... Just a thought.

| My Princess Monster: everything yours does (my cell phone was loverly until she killed it because it vibrated!) plus she eats all my left shoes...no serious only the left ones-either my feet vary in smell or she's showing off how intelligent, evil spiteful she really is. She had a real affinity for plastic and wooden kids toys too...worked great...kids pick up their stuff and put it away now! She's finally out of the phase and only attacks the recycling now bringing me empty milk cartons to show she could eat it... Elvis never has chewed or eaten anything but stuffies. Scoobers earned the nickname Boobers because he would eat (get his) only the center string between cups on my you-know-whats and then leave them alone, previous to that he had a strange fetish only eating white socks..no really he'd leave the grey toes and heel one's along just the all white ones had to die...he also had issues with wood and once ate a bar of black berry soap...doesn't do any of that now he's not a pup...but he will still freak on anything squeaky-will rip the squeaker out immediately and be done with it.
