how do i get my dogs to stop shredding their blankets and beds?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

when i’m gone to work during the day my dogs are outside in the yard. they have a giant shed that is pretty much all theirs. i have dog beds and comforters for them to snuggle up in and it’s quite cozy. the problem? they shred everything after a day or two. as much as i would love to be able to buy them new beds every two days, it’s just not in the ole budget. i don’t want to spray bitter apple or anything like that on the beds if it’s gonna make them not want to lay on them anymore and it probably wouldn’t deter them from shredding them anyway. and i give them each one or two rawhides every day so it’s not for lack of chew stuff. when they come inside they don’t shred our furniture or blankets so what gives?

well i have two pitbulls and they do the same thing chew all of there beds and blankets. What we did was make sure that there is alot of toys and other things to chew on instead of blankets and beds well i hope you find an answer..

Why does my dachshund have to "bury" her toys in the blankets on my bed every day?

She puts them in her mouth and insists I put her on the bed (she can’t reach). It’s the same 4 tiny stuffed animals every time. Are they her "babies"? She sleeps on my bed every night, by the way.

Possibly instinct? Probably because she sounds like an indoor dog, she doesn’t have any place to "dig".

She wants to keep them close to her, for security! That’s very cute!
