Dog chewing bed

466 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  DaySleepers
Hi! My dog is chewing through her beds and I’m not sure what to do. She is a 10 month old lab, we have a large crate for her. She stays in her crate when we are at work and at night. But lately she has started chewing her beds. She has went through 2 in the past few days and im getting really frustrated.
Any tips on what to do? Should I try bitter spray? And if so, what kind do you recommend?
Also, I’d like to be able to not have to have her in a crate. My other dogs do fine with no crate, should I just leave her out one day when im at work and see how she does?

If she chews the bed, take the bed away. She'll be fine with a bare crate. There are other beds that claim to be "chew proof" but I guess I've never wanted to drop that enormous chunk of cash to find out if their claims are true.

Labs are notorious chewers, and many can't be trusted to be free in the house until well into adulthood, if ever. I would not let her free in my house unsupervised until she can be trusted to not chew up the bed in her crate, first.
