hi - i posted before about this problem but nothing has improved. in fact it's got worse.
we rescued a 6mth old boy about 6 mths ago (we are now his 4th home).
his previous owners crated him all day (8.00-5.30) & we gather he generally received little attention or exercise.
he is now 12 mths old & is neutered.
unfortunately he tries to eat anything & everything be it animal, vegetable or mineral.
he has cost us over £1k in damage to our cars (now sorted with a crate) & furniture.
for example this week alone he ate his padded bed (the 4th one), two 400g loaves (bags & all), 1.5kg bag of guinea pig pellets a 0.5kg bag of hay, 4 small ctns of tomato ketchup, my son's lunch (twice) and some of my wife's shoe polish etc etc..........
we try to keep everything out of his way but he is very big & is able to apply the additional reach of his long legs.with good effect.
leave anything within reach on the kitchen worktop or elsewhere & whoosh it's gone.
we have 2 girls & they are both a dream but this guy - phew!!.
my question is, has anyone tried muzzle training - we are extremely reluctant to do this but we feel that someday he is going to do himself harm.
cheers
