Our 2nd hound had a similar problem when she was left. We were giving her free run of the whole house except the kitchen & found that if we limited the amount of the house she had access to she settled better. Our 2 now just have one room downstairs & hallway. This has solved the issue. We always leave radio on when out & lights on if dark. We have tried leaving them more of the house on occasion & Star starts playing up again so clearly can't cope with too much space if we are not there. The only other thing you could try is a crate as I know others who have chewers who use this when they are out. One things for sure you will have a tidy home whether you want to or not!

We had the same problem with Truffle - two pairs of school shoes, a pair of Fitflops and the cable on the computer were among things that bit the dust! It was a matter of making sure that anything that she could pick up was always out of reach, which was tedious, but she did grow out of it after a few months. Even now, we have to be careful of very fluffy or feathery things as she jut can't resist them...!

Just a Bertie update!! We have now had bertie for 8 months, the love and pleasure he has given us is amazing, after we lost our last dog Charlie at 14 we just never thought that we would feel the same about another dog but then Bertie came along and I think that he must have been sent to us by Charlie !! He is developing his own personality which is really lovely and funny to see, the look of amazement at seeing new things, animals and food, his little eyes nearly pop ou of his head with excitement and we are still greeted each morning with a total boby shake of tail wagging joy!! Bertie loved the snow but slipped whilst running around smashing the bones in one of his toes, sadly last week he had to have it amputated, which he was a really brave boy for unlike me !!!! So at the moment we are all at taking it easy, Bertie is sitting at my side as I write this , he really is a wonderful boy !! Thankyou ruth and all the helpers for making this all possible for me and many many others xx

Oh heck Lynne.....Lena had similar passions for chewing things in the first 6 months or so we had her. Casualties were 2 mobile phones (both mine) and 2 pairs of my glasses. We were spared the need to replace remote controls. She seemed to like the crunch of the phones and the glasses must have smelled of me I guess. Have you tried actually giving Norris an old t-shirt or something of yours which you have worn - I wonder if that might pacify him while you are out? Other than a muzzle I'm not sure if there is a magic fix.....We (or really... it's I) just had to be really diligent in putting things away and well out of Lena's reach. Good news is she seemed just to grow out of the habit. Best of luck...Linda, Paul & the girls xx

Naughty Norris strikes again!!!!! He has this habit of pinching things, mainly my things, socks, slippers, shoes etc, but occationally something else will take his fancy. A couple of weeks ago it was the sky remote, which got slightly chewed, and had to be replaced. Now when we go out EVERYTHING is moved to make sure it is NorrisProof. Unfortunately the NEW remote wasn't as out the way as we thought..... Norris has been to visit the vet - he destroyed this remote which has upset his tummy. He's had a thorough check, xray and is OK but we've got some medication to settle his tummy just in case. Any thoughts on what we can do? There are loads of toys but he's not interested in chewing them. Stuffed kongs don't work as Missy hogs them and wont share. Everytime we think it's all safe, he manages to find something else to chew and I'm getting concerned he's going to do himself some damage.
