HI everybody i really need help to stop my dog from eating my wooden garden furniture hes a 1 yr old?
I'm not sure what deep heat is, but you should spray the furniture with Bitter Apple, and then to make sure he doesn't just get used to it (some dogs can develop a taste for it), spray the Bitter Apple directly on his tongue just once so it's a really bad memory. Sounds mean, but it honestly won't hurt him, and it will keep him safe from eating hunks of wood, which is dangerous.





In addition if he is teething, you need to get him some thing he IS allowed to chew - the best thing for teething babies is a nylarope soaked in water and frozen. Also, a big red Kong with something good in it, like his kibble soaked and frozen in there, too. Keep him supplied with one good thing for asl ong as he is out with the furniture, and make sure he is chewing the appropriate thing.





Don't give him anything too hard, like real bones or adult hardness Nylabones - they'll break his teeth-, and don't give him any of the edible chew treats - they break into hunks, and get stuck in their GI tract. Just soft Kong toys that are big, and maybe a Dentabone toy.





Hope this helps!
Reply:give him lots of chew toys. the bone-shaped-ropes really worked for my dog.

there is a toy called a kong, and you fill it with peanut butter, or they have stuff to put in them, and the dog licks it out through a hole. they are entertained for hours.
Reply:get him some good chew toys. like the hard rubber kind that you can hide treats in will keep him occupied. just whenever you catch him chewing on your furniture, tell him no and give him his toys. just keep at it and eventually, it should be okay. but he does need his own chewies!
Reply:Go to a pet store like Petco and tell a represetative that you have a mastiff that is teething and is chewing on your furniture. Tell them that you are looking for the best chew toys and bones for your pet so that it will stop eating furniture. They will be happy to help you. You can even take your pet with you. They welcome pets. Good Luck
Reply:I have an English Mastiff and remember the chewing days well. We had about a dozen teething items that we would literally rotate constantly all day long. It was almost funny to see him go from something coarse to cut into his gums on purpose helping teeth get in, to something soft to alleviate the pain of it, to something frozen we would give him ( try frozen bananas and frozen carrots - keep the freezer stocked) and then to a nylabone again. We had frozen washcloths soaked in water, socks with ice cubes tied in them, and plush toys stashed everywhere and on hand. It sounds like a pain but it was more like a way of life. He honestly NEVER destroyed anything in our house because we were always giving him something he was allowed to chew. If he even looked at something he shouldnt have, we would reach to the side table and give him the dog chew toy instead and praise him. To this day, he LOVES bananas.


It isnt forever but the chewing stage requires strategy and consistency - just be patient and have a chew toy arsenal to help you. You can almost make one from household items without even going to the store.


Good luck with your big guy!
Reply:My pit bull chews up tree branches that fall in the yard. Chews 'em to bits. There's little I can do about it because I live in a wooded area. I promise you, he doesn't do it out of boredom or lack of exercise. And he has plenty of Kong toys and scrap deer antler too, which my dogs love. He's never chewed my garden furniture, maybe because he can always find a stick or antler to chew when he feels like it.





For hundreds, or thousands, of years, people have used sticks to play "fetch" with their dogs. To my dog, chewing sticks is just more "play". (He's 1 yr. old, too.) Fallen tree branches are usually soft. Go for a walk and find your dog some sticks of his own.
Reply:I think your on the write track, you have to make it tastes unpleasant. Second you have to give it something to chew on. Iv'e hear of using tobacco water spray as an insectacide, mabey it would work with dogs LOL. Good luck
