Oliver starting to chew

Go Back to General Bulldog Forum

Oliver is now 14 months old. He never had any chewing problem when he was a puppy. So good that we leave all our shoes out and let laundry hang out on the floor sometimes. Last week though we caught him chewing on a pair of uggs and then the other day he grabed one of my shoes. This morning he was chewing on a towel. Its weird because he has never shown any interest in any of these things before which literally have been around since he came home a year ago. Easy answer is to jus keep the place tidy which we should probably do anyways but just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Just really surprising because he has been so good about this.

Gizmo is 2, and if its a leather belt. . . .CHOMP

she loves the taste of leather - I have to put my pants up over a door or she'll start to chew the belt in a heart beat -

try Bitter Apple on the things Oliver has started to chew on, and put a 'proper' chew into his mouth when he's caught doing it on the wrong things.

Postive reinforcement - and yea, pick up things ya dont want chewed :)

Hes NEVER been a chewer on anything. Just his toys, Lately hes been pulling out the plastic bottom of his crate and he pulls it just enough so he can lay down and chew on it!. and hes also been chewing on the bottom of our couch!. I took him to the vet cause i thought maybe his teeth were bothing him, or maybe some of them were loose. But our vet said his teeth looked fine and he might just be bored of his toys to try and find something new and differnt that hes now used too.. We re going to take him this weekend and get some new toys!. Good luck!.

*giggling* k i'm having a visual on that...

archie would definitely be in the way on laundry day but he

wouldn't touch them...maybe walk all over them or lie on them but

that would be it!

LOL, Yes! they also love to walk all over it and lie on it, too

annnnd, heaven help me when I drop something on the way to or from the laundry room!

andd, as I start putting the freshly washed sheets on the bed, they interfere cuz they wanna play instead of let me

put the sheets on, annnnnd Oh my goodnesshhhh, and when they were both really small, they'd not

only jump up to interfere with the bed-making, but they'd pee as SOON as the bed was all freshly made! LOL!

She is 13 months and we just had to throw out the rug in the hallway because she chewed it to pieces. I was really baffled because like all of you, she has NEVER chewed on anything! I am constantly buying her new toys but she destroys them so fast. I hope it's just a phase!
