[QUOTE="witzend, post: 303958, member: 99"] Does Ace have something of his own that he likes to chew on? Mandy loves to chew, and did have a problem when we first got her. She likes the Nyla Bones, and they are virtually indestructable. [URL]http://www.nylabone.com/[/URL] Also, if I am going to be gone for any length of time, Mandy is in her crate. It's not a punishment, and she likes it. In fact, if I have been gone several days in a row and then I am home all day, she will go take a nap in her crate. If Ace isn't using a crate yet, you might want to start enticing him into thinking that it's a good thing by leaving small treats in it until he goes into it and stays to eat the treat. It's a godsend. Other than a crate and a favorite chew of his own, I can only recommend lots of exercise (Mandy jogs on the treadmill 1.5 miles a day) and basic training every day. "Sit", "Stay", "Down". It gives them a sense of who the boss is, and a sense of purpose. [/QUOTE]
