What age does chewing reduce?

Raintheshepherd · 03-02-2013, 05:19 PM

Rain is now 11months old, she gets about 3hours of combined obedience, exercise everyday. Broken into several times a day.
She is still chewing anything she can get her teeth onto, especially her bed. I can't be there all the time to supervise what she is doing and crating isn't an option. The worst part is she chews the other dogs beds as well. She has so many toys you can trip over them. I have used a kong, but it lasts about 10minutes.
So I want to know if anyone has any suggestions?
What age does the chewing reduce?
Any good ideas for beds that are a little more chew proof?

Have you given her bully sticks? They are awesome, and a 12" one will last Ava at least a half hour or so and helps to relieve her urge to chew.
