I call mine a 'labragoat'. They eat things...mine grew out of it after a couple years, but constant supervision was the only way to get her to not eat the house.

Good luck. I couldn't stop mine until he chewed right to an outlet. I am assuming he got a good shock. He won't even go near the area now.

We had a freak of a dog that ate all the foam and vinyl off of a couch we had in the basement, ate a bunch of pink fiberglass insulation from the wall in the basement stairwell, and ate a length of 2x4 he found in dads basement shop. How he didn't die after ingesting all that is a mystery.

Try a water gun every time he gets near it.

better diet and give him a toy out of your laundry basket that has sat in their with your clothes. rotate the toys like nyloc bones and kongs and give him a fresh smelling toy whenever you are not going to be watching him.

Labs belong outside and they will still chew off the side of your house. That's what labs do. You could start training him to retrieve. He just has a lot of energy and is trapped inside.

Before I clicked on this I KNEW it was going to be a LAB.
Well all puppies chew things, some more than others. They need lots of chew toys. Get some of the Kongs you can stuff treats in. Is he doing it with you in the room? Get him an X-pen to barricade him off. Kennel train them now so it saves your place later. My wife runs a vet clinic and the top breed for "foreign body surgery" is .......the Labrador. Kennel them for their own safety when you are not home. That being said Labs are great dogs, minus the chewing. |

Quoted:
Our 6 month old Lab pup is a drywall destroying machine. I've caught him in the act over a dozen times. Everytime I've caught him in the act I yell NO! to startle him. After a lot of times hitting the same patch of drywall I combined a loud no with a two fingered slap across the bridge of his nose. I don't believe in hitting dogs but I'm at my wits end. Anybody dealt with this successfully or have any advice? You need to redirect it to getting them to chew on things that are OK to chew on. Give them all the chewies they want. And, KEEP THEM FROM GETTING USED TO CHEWING ON THE DRYWALL. Put it in a pen when you can't watch it if you need to. Get them redirected onto positive stuff! Also, you should already be training... getting them used to "yes" and "no". When they chew on drywall, interrupt, redirect them to something positive, then "yes" them for the positive behavior. |

My female Presa pup was doing the same thing for awhile. I don't have a problem physically disciplining my dogs when appropriate.
After about the third hole in the drywall the belt came out. She stopped after that. |

Hot sauce worked for my dog. She stopped chewing carpets and wall corners for good after that.
