how do i get molly to stop chewing on EVERYTHING we have tried to get her toys to chew on and they are gone in 5 minutes max. and she has chewed the stuffing out of my comforter and we have had to sew the pillows on the couch a few times. i just dont know what to do i love her dearly but she needs to stop chewing on everything.

How old is she? Is she teething? Soak a washcloth in chicken broth, twist it and freeze it, it'll be yummier than other things, and it's cheaper to replace than furniture.

Seriously, how old is she, how long have you had her, what breed is she, etc?

Go to your local pet store and purchase a product called "Bitter Apple Spray" or any other chewing deterrant. Its safe to spray on pretty much everythign -- plants, furniture, carpet, clothing, shoes, table legs, etc. It leaves a nasty taste in their mouth so chewing on them is not desireable any more.

SOME dogs aquire a taste for it though and actually LIKE the taste after awhile. I remember when my parents' dog was a puppy she would get into the trash a lot so they finally started putting tobasco sauce on the top of the trash and it only took her getting into it once or twice and she NEVER did it again.

molly is almost 1 she will be 1 next month. she is golden retriever/heeler mix. although i think she has more in her than that. i have had some say she looks like she has pit in her and german shephard and lab. so i dont know exactly. shes a sweetie though.

Sounds like you'll have to get her chews & toys that are for strong
chewers. Toys like kongs and maybe some strong chewable rawhide.
Your dog at that age is really still very much puppy like.

I would definately make sure she is in a crate with a big fat bone or toy everytime you leave the house until she finishes teething. When you are home make sure to supervise her when out of the crate. When she starts misbehaving by chewing on your furniture again I would pick her up and put her in the crate again with a chew toy or bone. Maybe she will begin to understand what she can and can't chew on. Good luck!
