Thank you for the reply, I already give her a kong fill with food and I just put a order in for interactive toys which hopefully be getting tomorrow with a slow feeder bowl. I walk her twice a day atm and go home during lunch to keep her company, used the garden and play time.

I agree with Ben. I also think your doing the right thing not using the crate as they should not be used as punishment. Try interactive toys as a chewing alternative instead. You can buy a Kong quest and fill this with dog meat, put this in the freezer and you have turned it a chew that will last many hours rather than only a couple of hours.

Chewing in dogs is as natural as tail wagging. If your dog is upset/stressed/anxious about something; chewing is a powerful stress reliever and will also offer good physical and mental stimulation. Most products designed to address anxiety are good, but are certainly not the answer on their own. These products work better in conjunction with good training.

Talking generally about destructive chewing, the key is to deter and prevent inappropriate chewing and move your dog onto appropriate chewing. If you want to talk more specifically about your dog, drop me a line.

My dog started to pull throws off the sofa a couple of months ago when i lost my cat. He is getting better and now only does it when out of routine. I used an adaptil plug in for him.
