When we go to bed at night we find in the morning my great dane who is 4 months has chewed into the wall (actually through the plaster) we tell her not too but it does not deter her, she has plenty of toysand loves chewing them too she just really enjoys the wall?
Any ideas how i stop her?

Sometimes chewing on plaster can be a sign of a deficiency as well as boredom ! One of my friends dogs began chewing through the plaster!
Ina routine visit to the vet, she told the him about her dogs new destructive habit the vet told her that her dog was lacking in iron and prescribed a supplement for the dog he hasn't chewed the walls since! Apparently there is something in the plaster that makes the dog chew it . I'm sorry the details are vague this happened over 5 years ago, if you contact your vet they should be able to tell you more . hope this helps !

Dog Chewing Wall

I don't think there is any method that is guaranteed to stop the chewing. As far as I can remember my latest dog managed a couple of chair legs, the spines of twenty books, two handbags, three pairs of shoes and the odd bit of carpet. I go with the earlier answer that giving the dog something else to chew helps. Make it quite clear that you are not happy, get the dog's nose close to the most recently chewed piece and rant. Dogs are quick to pick up the bad vibes by, I imagine, linking your annoyance to the smell of the freshly chewed plaster. I have had three dogs all have given up biting things fairly quickly.

You should of had a kennel for him before you bought him home...it is a tunnel phase as well as a teething thing....3 25min walks isn't enough for that size of a dog....The morning walk should be fast paced and an hour....I have an Aussie and a Westie pup and that is our morning routine....then I come home at lunch and we go just 20 mins but they eat and play....then after work over an hour and then a 20 min walk and a few just pee breaks....In between is playtime which is full of energy.....then rest time...the bigger the breed the more energy they need to get out ......the crate will be a heaven sent for you as well as giving him a safe haven when you aren't home ...it might take some doing though because usually by now they have used to it for 5mths...

I was told years ago that there is something in the make up of the plaster that dogs really like...bit like cats with the cat nip
I dont know whether you will ever stop it.
Dogs chew anyway dont they?
If you tell her not to & she's a mischief maker, she will do it for attention lol
I think; if you have a dog in your house, especially like the cutie you have, and at such a young age too, well you have to expect that to happen. And put up with it cahoot
You'd be worried if it didnt, I think.
Dontchya just love 'em? Ha ha ha

My husband and I had 2 pitbulls that liked to do that. What we found out works the best is either a New chew toy...or one of those REALLY BIG BONES that will last forever. Also you can get one of thos king kong balls at the pet store that has a hole in the middle of it where you can stick something like gummy bears in there. Your dog will try SO hard to get those gummy bears out and can't so it will keep the dog busy. Plus gummy bears will still give your dog the flavor when it sticks it's tounge inside of it. Good luck, hope this helps!
O yea, that apple bitter spary stuff doesnt really work...i've tried that

Sounds like you have drywalls, Been there & it's not fun all you can do is perhaps crate the dog or keep the dog in a seprate area at night I have tried all those biter stopper sorays and none have ever worked!! I just have to stay on top of the dogs very so often they still try!

Large dogs need plenty of exercise. That generic apple flavored spray that's sold at the store does not work from my experience. I suggest, that you go out and run or walk the dog before he's in for the night and then crate him without a toy at night.

You need to think about crating your dog, atleast for her own safety!!!!
what about next time, if she chews through some wires or starts to choke on a bit of plaster????
This is very dangerous and im afraid crate training is the only answer
