Eating wood Hello Yorkie community. Have 2 adults who had their first litter 2 months ago. The Mama dog never ate or chewed on parts of the house. She did like sticks. (Would steal kindling from the fireplace) The Poppa dog picked a corner molding in the living room to chew on. He also likes straw baskets. Now the 2 month old pups are refinishing my daughters dresser and bedside table. Do they have a dietary fetish? Need a supplement? Thanks for any help. :confused: |
I have 8 dogs and not until I got my last 2 pups did I have a problem with little "beavers"!! Mine chewed on the corners of my kitchen cabinets, their dog stairs, the baby gate and scratched a hole in my drywall in the hall!!!:eek: They have a million toys, chew treats, kongs, and forever chews so they can't be bored, I think they just get a taste for it and think it's fun. I sprayed the bitter apple on the wood and they seemed to like it too!! They are now over 1 year old and I think they are done doing it, all their teething is done. Good Luck, couldn't help you but I understand your pain!!:D |
Welcome to YT. I think that this might be a behavioral issue. Maybe when you see them going for the wood, bring them a bully stick and offer them that instead of the cabinets. Keep reinforcing it and see if that may help. Good luck:D |

Thanks for letting me know there's light at the end of the tunnel. He is 9 months now....3 more months to go.... |
Puppies are cutting their teeth on your furniture! I agree, if you give them something else like a bully stick & keep something near them you DO want them to chew. |
