Horses chew wood out of boredom, or due to a mineral deficiency. I've heard of treating it with lots of roughage to eat, salt licks, vitamins, or even toys. I think the primary reason for dogs is boredom and a puppy's teething process. There is something called Chew Stop, I think, that people put on the wood... I'm not sure if it works for dogs, though?
