We have always kept him in our 2 car garage at nite because he chews everything up in the house. Tonite it is too cold, so he is in the house. I am afraid he will chew up the computer cords or the christmas decirations. What can I do besides stick him in the bathroom to prevent him from chewing everything up. He is 3 yrs old and loves to chomp on everything still.

The dog has been to obedience training. To be exact, he has been to about $300 bucks worth of obedience traiing. He is great at sitting, staying, opening doors, walking, but he still loves to chew.....everyting but his chew bones, toys and his honking toy rat!!!

In the short term put him in a room where he can do no damage and giving him something appropriate to chew on my dogs love rawhide. Then whenever you see him chewing anything
inappropriate in the future direct him away from it by giving him rawhide or some other dog toy he can chew on and praise him for it. He just needs re-direction. Bless you for bringing your pet in from this bitter cold weather.

i have a 2 year old black lab & he, too loves to chew on anything and everything. Thats why we keep him in the basement.
About the chewing problem, there isn't really any solution besides to get him enrolled into an obiedence class or maybe bring him a ton of his favorite toys into the room he will be sleeping in. Maybe, he'll chew on them instead of the furniture.
Good luck! =]

Get him enrolled in obedience training and spend some time teaching him that household items are not to chew on. Buy him his own toys that were meant to be chewed. He doesn't know better, sounds like he was never properly trained.

Give him something he is allowed to chew on. I knot up old “T” shirts for my dogs to chew on. I also give them sturdy dog toys like nylabones. I will even give my dogs empty cereal boxes to chew on. (I take the inner bag out first.) With anything they are chewing you need to make sure they are not swallowing big pieces or lots of little pieces as it may cause an impaction.
