Hi all:

Josie is six months, 11.5 pounds (so very manageable size-wise), but she is VERY FAST MOVING and has become very destructive with her chewing. So far, she has chewed through two leashes, three easy walk harnesses (we do go with the Lupine leashes now, which they replace, fortunately, free of charge), and I always have an extra easy walk harness around because I can't live without it. I have also smartened up and taken both of these items off when not in use...

As for toys, she has chewed through her KONG!, anything made from that heavy plastic (Orka toys) (she chews off pieces - I don't think she's swallowing any of them, but I certainly can't leave her unsupervised with them). Rope toys are in pieces - usually lots of small threads. Even the "Tough Toys" stuffed things have fallen victim to her intense chewing. She'll chew a piece right off of them.

Again, fortunately, she doesn't seem interested in eating - only destroying.

She does love bully sticks but the smell of some of them is nauseating. She also loves a good antler at times, but these don't always do the trick. Sometimes I'll give her a Himalayan chew which keeps her busy for a good amount of time. Anything else like this???

She loves the stuffed things that have squeakers and crunchy noises. She also loves an empty 20 oz. diet coke bottle, but she did manage to shred a Poland Spring bottle last night (that was inside one of those stuffies - she got it out).

We have to watch her every second, or she'd be chewing up our furniture - loves pillows.

She lost some teeth about a month ago. I don't know if she's losing more or if she's having an early adolescence or what, but she has suddenly become very destructive.

She looks so innocent, doesn't she???  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Robin xxx

That is almost the cutest puppy ever (except for my Bogey! Tee hee). Fortunately, Bogey isn't that big of a chewer but what last the best for us is the antlers, which he loves and I just got a new Nyla bone that you freeze with water in the corners and a treat in the middle. He absolutely loves that and keeps him occupied for a good 20 -30 minutes . Then I just refill and refreeze.
So innocent and adorable!! Ok, maybe not so innocent! Our doodle has the ability to destroy any toy except....black kong toys. I still remember the first day we bought one at Petco. The cashier asked if we had a pit bull, silly guy. You should have seen his face when we told him that the mighty toy was for a goldendoodle!!
