Chewing problem

[Genny]

I haven't read what everyone else said so someone else might have have already told you but I'd get her some more toys to chew on since you said she started this 'after' she chewed her other toy up!

When she's chewing on something she shouldn't, give her a toy that she CAN chew on as a trade. Kongs are worth the investment. Or try a cow hoof. They are inexpensive and last a long time. They don't smell very good, though. Nylabones are pretty good, too. I wouldn't give her rawhide, though. It's less expensive than a kong or Nylabone, but they stink, get slimy and can get caught in her throat.

Hmmmm...we have something in common with chewing. I am going through the same thing with my new little chihuahua. He is teething though so hopefully he will outgrow it. What I do is always keep him in the same room as me. I make a game of it by making him run after me. When I get to the room I want to be in I place all his toys all over the floor. When I catch him chewing something he is not suppose to I clap my hands really loud and say NO! He will usually stop look around and go to do it again. I clap again really loud and say NO! Most of the time he stops after the second clap. If he does not I take one of his toys and distract him with it or remove him from the object of his desire. Then he usually leaves whatever the "nonchewable item" was alone. If your home alot just try to get your dog to stay with you as much as you can, even going into the bathroom. This way you are making her get up and move around keeping her occupied but also being able to keep a closer eye on her. Maybe stop buying her stuffed toys. Some dogs don't know the difference and think they can chew anything that is material. The Kong is a good idea, maybe even rubber tug toys that she cannot chew threw. Good luck.
