Our dog, Nelson, has a problem. He’s chewing everything, all the time. I don’t know what else I can do about it. We talked to the vet and she said he’s probably bored and to give him things to chew on. He has rawhide bones, milk bones, nyla bones, pig ears & a large assortment of toys. I’ve used bitter apple spray & training spray for furniture.
Sunday Husband (J) and I went out to pick up the paper from the shopping center down the street. We were gone 10 minutes. When we came back Nelson had eaten J’s 10th anniversary present from work engraved Swiss Army watch. Eaten it as in all I found was the face. Well, and the buckle of the band when I pried open Nelson’s mouth.
He’s chewed the spare room bed as if it’s woody-licious gum. He’s gnawed on the coffee table legs like a beaver. He’s destroyed my favorite pair of flip flops & the cats’ favorite toys. Last night we went out to pick up a pizza. Gone for approx. 12 minutes. Came home to a pile of things in the living room that Nelson had dragged from the bedroom then chewed to bits including J’s favorite PJ pants & my sleep mask. He even chews himself and has created this hot spot on his arm (hence the constant wearing of the cone). He’ll even chew you if you let him. Really. He especially loves feet.
I’m at my wits end. Any suggestions?
