Chewing Habbit

PDFD1456 · 01-11-2013, 10:05 PM

I have a 6 Month old GSD puppy and I been crate training him since i got him, but last week I stopped using the crate and been letting him sleep and loose in my room when i am not home.

About 3 days ago i started to notice that he has been chewing on the edges of the furniture in my room and now has successfully chewed every piece of furniture in my room and a set of bed sheets. How can i counteract this behavior and prevent any further damage to items in my room?

Crate him when you're not there to supervise. I let Spirit stay loose at night when I'm sleeping but he's sleeping too and hasn't gotten into any trouble. He wakes me as soon as he wakes up. I wouldn't dare leave him loose in the house during the day when I'm not home. LOL, I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will
