Not biting, but shredding

[robinh]

Innocent looking isn't she?

So far Miss Innocent (Muffin -4 month old dachshund) has shredded two different types of puppy beds, countless stuffie toys, the sherpa blanket in her kennel and has begun to shred a couple of sheets that we use instead of blankets for her lay on during the day.

I know she's teething, but jeez. She has rope toys, kongs and squeaky toys to play with during the day.

What else can I try?

She is such a doll!
Yup shes a pup thats teething! I would take away the rope toys until she learns wht she can & can not chew on as they resemble by both looks & texture as fabrics. It may or may not have anything to do w/ this but she may be getting confused as to what is her toy. Also do not give rawhides until she learns what to chew on as they just teach a dog to chew, as they have to chew & chew & chew to make it tasty so she may be thinking "if I chew it long enough it will get better & better" Maybe give her some flavored nylabones. Also more excersize to tire her out & some puppy obedience classes too may help. Also when you catch her chewing something she is not supposed to be chewing her tell her FIRMLY "NO" take away what she is chewing on & give her one of her toys. EVERYTIME you see her chewing her toys PRAISE her! She'll catch on.

Try some biter apple spray. That's what I use when I have new pups in the house. They hate the taste of it. I will usually get them toys that can not be destroyed by teething puppies.

Ringo has started doing that same thing except I put down newspaper as a place mat under his bowls well he's been shredding up those and if hes somehow gets a paper towel he destroys it into a bagazillion pieces
