Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I have 3 dogs, An alaskan malamute, a shepherd/lab mix, and a Husky. My husky is EXTREMELY well behaved. He has full roam of the house, is allowed off leash when we hike, is a certified therapy dog, etc. However, having said that- in the last few weeks he has been chewing A LOT. It's very abnormal for him. He actually chewed a Nylabone apart the other day and pulled pieces out of it. So, I thought maybe somethings wrong with his teeth- checked, nothing. I work in both a vets office and a doggie daycare and he gets walked everyday. On weekends we go hiking, and sometimes during the week we rollerblade, bike, etc. So I thought maybe I wasn't giving him enough exercise- we did go 3 days without a walk because we had three 95 degree days in a row. So I took him rollerblading and for a walk for over an hour and he still chewed up some stuff. I'm just wondering if anyone else's husky has acted out like this? I can't find what it is thats the issue, he's a really mellow dog and normally so well behaved. I don't know what's going on with him... It's really frustrating because I literally feel like he's mad at me for something-which is stupid, but our routine really hasn't changed at all.. Thoughts? |

| Maybe he got bored with his routine and needs some new toys or activities. |

| I thought that might have been it too.. but I took him on a road trip to visit my sisters school this past weekend.. we went to two different parks and a dog park there as well. He was literally busy all day long, was really well behaved and having a good day... I came home, he was exhausted- got up in the morning and found stuff chewed up- I don't know if he did it over night or first thing that morning. So frustrating! LOL |

| Have you tried bitter apple? Dizzy recently started a project of chewing up a rug, I coated it in bitter apple and he hasn't touched it since. Does he go after anything in particular or just random things. You might just have to crate him for a while. |

| ... this dog. LOVES bitter apple. haha And he's really good about not chewing anything big up- like its never the furniture, a pillow, blankets, etc. It's usually small stuff.. plastic bags, my cell phone case, pens, etc. I don't know what the underlying issue is lol |

| Maybe he's a neat freak and doesn't like clutter. All kidding aside, maybe just take a room and proof it like you're getting a puppy and start there. If he's good for a while in that room then start to slowly give him his freedom back. I don't think there is necessarily an underlying issue, they can change and try new things just like we do. Maybe one day there was a plastic bag that happened to smell like something interesting and he chewed it up, had fun and now he keeps trying new things. I would just limit his freedom when you're not around and go from there. |
