Boy can I relate to this problem! Buddy has only chewed up 2 things in the house in the past 2+ years we have had him. But outside everything is free game! He has chewed up most of the bushes, all the wood latice on one side of the deck plus all the corners have a chew in them, plastic lawn chairs, my deck storage box, ALL the rugs I put down, corner of his dog house, the bird bath, all the benches of the wooden picnic table, pulled the trim pieces off the bottom of the house and chewed them, tore down every planter I have put outside, his kiddie pool and dug many holes. I finally got a paint bruch out and "painted " everything that I could with hot sauce (the first kind I bought he liked so I needed to get a hotter kind) this really helped. I also bought a small bottle of clove oil and mixed with water and sprayed on things I didn't want hot sauce on. He has left all these items alone since. It might seem harsh to some but I can't watch him 7/24 and I was more afraid that he would swallow something & choke or have a blockage. But I will never have a nice yard as long as I have Buddy - I so I have given up on the yard thing. LOL
