Cricket started out as an agressive chewer as a pup and just never grew out of it. He actually ate the edging around the door of his dog house(cedar) He will be more contented to chew on a stick from the trees in our yard than any toy I never figured out how to stop it he's three now. pepper is trying to start. kinda like monkey see, monkey do. Cricket also love plastic, will kill a toy to get to the squeaker, then he actually eats it. the only toys that he has not killed yet are the latex toys with some fiberfill in them. Plastic, gone. Canvas, gone. This dog will kill an indestructable toy, no he really has. I was half tempted to send it back and tell them that they need to test their products with my dog before they call them indestructable, hubby just laughed. Those plastic crock bowls at wal mart or atwoods, it took him 2 years but he killed it, just constant knawing. its like he's cribing(like with horses) But it is really easy to see what poo is his in the yard, the one with the colored flecks!!!

Jersey chews wood where ever he can get it -- with a dog door he has free access to everything in our back yard. I find nails, rocks, cement, granite, and loads and loads of bark chips! Then I found out that he was laying behind our couch and chewed the paint and some wallboard off the wall. I found a leg on one chair had no finish on it anymore. Then he chewed all the corners off my baseboard in the family room! I pick it up/take it away each time and he goes back out and gets more.

He is 13 mos. old -- when do you think he will get tired of this??

Daisy chews when she is bored - drives me nuts!

We planted two 4 ft. trees, so our boxer would have shade - left for the day - he ate them. Not a toothpick left.
