aghhh puppy help lol

how can i stop zena chewing i know shes only 5 weeks or i think 6 lol but i never had the problem with blade he never chewed once only his toys. shes chewing the cage,wires laptop,wood anything i tell her no and she justs tryes to bite me and growls at me lol. i got told bitches are worse for chewing, iam in a rented house so if she chews things il be getting kicked out or lose my bond.

Have you got pleanty to distract her with!! I don't know she's so young!! Thats a useless answer, but I haven't a clue!!

thats the thing shes really young she doesnt want to chew her own things rather chew the house to bits lol

Can you get something for her to suck on? Maybe shes missing that part from her mum x

Our Nala is fine if we there, but have to be honest they minute we leave her she can chew quite a lot! We bought a kong, but only distsracts for a little while and a Nylabone, she loves that, but really helps with her teething I think more than anything. Hopefully as she gets older she'll get better! Sometimes it's boredome I think depending on how long they are left!

I have exact same problem with Milo, he would rather chew on everyting else other than his toys. So far he's chewed on the carpet, skirting board, Sofa, radiators, pipes. You name it and he's had a go at it. Tell him off and he moves on to the next thing.

He started chewing on the kitchen skirting board the other day and the wine rack built in to the kitchen, so I mixed a little bit of thai seven spice with some water and rubbed a little bit on where he'd been chewing. Went to have another go and didnt like taste so he hasnt gone back to them. Ha.

Obviously cant do that with everything but, it seemed to work as a deterent for them. Only did it in the kitchen as thats where he is left whilst we are out etc.

Have you tried any of the sprays? I used Bitter Apple with Dempsey, and as most of you know he's a real serial chewer! It did help, although you have to re-apply the spray frequently as it wears off quite quickly. With that and the good old stand by of "No, leave it!" you should get there eventually!

The other thing you could try is rubbing either menthol or oil of cloves on to the surfaces you don't want her to chew.

Crayll, is she not too young still??

Caryll, does Dempsey still chew then? I was rather hoping Nals would grow out of it! To be fair, it's mostly when she's bored on her own, however, think we are lucky compared to some, she only does skirting boards and door frames so far, hasn't touched our pipes, radiators nor our kitchen cabinets YET!

I found that an old worn leather (frozen in the freezer) really helped when i had all the pups here, it was really cool and soothing and chewable for them kinda like teething rings for kids. I used simple things like a cheap leather collar or belt, when they went to chew things i chucked like a piece of leather or a soft toy at them so it kinda softly hit them and they were like oh wow where did that come from and they usually attacked it kinda thing all excited.

iam hoping she grows out of it because blade doesnt chew so id love a easy life with two dogs not chewing plus isnt cheap to keep buying new things lol

Well, she's, what, 6 weeks old now? She should be ok, I think.

Dempsey will chew his toys to pieces still, but he doesn't (often) chew things he's not supposed to. When he does, a sharp "No", "Leave it!" or "Ah Ah!" will stop him straight away.

They do grow out of it, with maybe the odd little mistake, it's the 'now' that you have to take care of, though!

can anybody tell me what kinda of toys would be good for her and if so what food chews because shes so young and small lol

could i take my pup out if i wrapped her in a blanket and didnt put her on floor just wanna take both dogs to pets at home lol

I don't no at that age! I would say no buts thats just my opinion, I'm one of those 'best to be safe' people!

i took woody out wrapped in ablanket in my arms at 8 weeks to local shops to introduce him - i dont think if they come in to contact with other dogs they be fine.

you may want to try vinegar (smells like a chippy round the house though) or vicks vapour rub. vicks was the one thing that stopped woody chewing certain bits of furniture - he is a bad chewer even down to the trim on thr laminate floorin but vicks stops him in his tracks - the little bugger liked the apple spray!

Well Took her no problems spent £70 on dogs lol got told to start putting her on dry food at 6 week so bought some Jamebeloved sliced fish and rice

Ive been so lucky with my 2 they have never chewed or damaged anything but there toys get demolished so quick.
Im sure she will grow out of it soon

blades bone lol

Monster!!!
