I have an eight month old boy puppy that is literally eating all the wood in the backyard. I had.....the key word here is " had "......a bunch of solid top wooden pallets to go along with the deck that I built to help keep the mud down in the yard because there is no grass at all back there. He literally has been chewing the pallets apart with his teeth......I could not even get them apart with a hammer. Yesterday he chewed a big branch off one of the trees and all this bark was on the ground.....looked like what a wood chipper does when you put a log in it. Needless to say he had loose stool all weekend. It is fine now. I have no clue what to do to get him to stop chewing the wood out there. Yesterday he was running around with a piece of my dog eared privacy fence in his mouth. I am so afraid that he is going to get stuck with a nail......I watch him constantly because of it. I cannot spray everything in the whole yard. I have never a ctually had a dog chew on the bark on my tress. Never a dull moment with this guy...lol Amy Greenhut Justrock German Shepherds Board Member Last Hope Safe Haven http://lasthopesafehaven.com Gen Oak Leopard Tortoises & Tortoise Rescue Behold The Turtle, He Makes Progress Only When He Sticks His Neck Out A Quote By James B.
