I have no problem with larger pieces of wood I can remove those, my Cavoodle is seven months old and likes the bark on my garden, I can't stop her doing this as we recently covered all our garden beds with the larger sized chips left from my own trees when felled some months ago. I have stopped worrying about it but do keep an eye on her. We have a second problem though, she steals the large decorative river stones from around our bird baths and grinds on them. When she is fed up with doing that she proceeds to throw it up in the air and chase it. I am constantly taking them away and showing her where they have to stay and telling her no ! when she picks one up again but to no avail. Looks like the stones will have to go doesn't it ? A friend of mine once said " if you don't want your dog to have a stick, then wipe it with something she won't like" as for me I would rather wipe something nice over it so that she will lick rather than chew........ Would that work I wonder ? All the best with it Julie ,

Hello everybody, I have a big problem. I took my puppy from a dog foster home about a year ago. I love him to bits; he has a great personality, and I feel that he loves our family so much. BUT he chews things A LOT. . So, leaving home is always a challenge for us. My husband and I were thinking about taking him to 'doggy school', but then again, it’s extremely expensive, and the nearest 'doggy school' is far away from us. Maybe you have some advice? THANK YOU!!!!

I have a year old dog. She's a chow mix and just loves wooden sticks. On our walks she's fine and will usually drop it or leave it on command. The problem is when I take her to the dog run. She plays with other dogs and will pick up a stick and run around with it. Letting go of it there is another issue lol. I'm working on the commands training her in the park to see if it helps but I'm wondering if anyone has any other suggestions?

I have a dog that is part German Shepard, Golden Retriever, and Pit Bull. My problem is this. She will gather into one area every branch, regardless of how big or long it is, and every stick, log that she can carry. She will eat the wood, and bark. She begs to go outside to do this. I am home with her a lot so I don't think it is due to her having separation anxiety. I am so very worried that she isn't eating enough of her dog food and that she is filling up on bark and wood. I have taken her to the vet because she has started itching herself all the time....they think she is allergic to the food I was feeding her so now I am ticking with no grain, venison food. Just this morning she started throwing up, and it was yellow foamy fluid, which I read her stomach is empty of food. I am really starting to worry. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. I live in the woods, and she loves going outside, so I can't easily take sticks away from her. Thanks in advance.

My problem is my English bulldog is eating all the wood in house. The trim on every doorway, every chair in the kitchen, the siding off the house, and the microwave stand. I'm at a loss. He is inside with us and has lots of toys and at all times. We have 3 other dogs and none of them have acted like this! What can be done? My house is destroyed!
