Any ideas would help here. I have two dogs. A big one I like to call, the horse, and a little one that acts as his shadow. They both seem to eat and chew up darn near everything in the back yard. Plants, toys, you name it, it gets a chewin'. Short of calling in the dog whisperer, I've tried many things. I don't think I can afford enough tabasco sauce to put on everything. They don't tear up at all inside the house, just outside. Maybe I don't walk them far enough each day. I thought I did. Only judging from how I feel at the end of the walk. TIRED. Do any of you have any suggestions?

Maybe you should go to the library and look up some stuff on how to train dogs. I'm sure they'll have some helpful books. We only have a cat, so that's all I can think of at the moment.

We've got a veritable zoo goin' on here. 4 dogs & 5 cats. Gotta love 'em though. I don't think I'd know what to do without 'em. They just drive us crazy sometimes. Thanx

I have a basset hound that was that way .... I bought her lots of her own toys and the gross natural chewies .... they looked like dehydrated intestines and real pigs ears ...ugh! but she doesn't chew the yard stuff up anymore ...

now if you have a suggestion for her digging holes I'd appreciate it ....

oh yeah and those humane bark collars really work well ... I was ready to have her de-barked surgically before I found out about the no-bark collars!

crazy mutt! and psycho cat is beyond help! I might turn her into a dim sum dumping some day ... a little stir fry kitty might do the trick Deb

I nicknamed my cat "psycho kitty" because she's always running around our house like a loony, attacking doorknobs, running into walls, and at night she chows on my feet.

cats are bi-polar ... one minute they will be sweet and the next crazy!
