So we rehomed a puppy about 6 weeks ago. She's now 10 months old, a springer lab cross. We love her to bits, but her chewing is driving me mad. Every day she seems to find something new to munch! We think there's nothing left for her to get, but then she finds something we've missed. Or one of my teenagers leaves a door open and she gets in to a non-puppy proofed room. I appreciate it's our fault, and we need to be more careful (difficult with 3 teenagers!). But I'd love to hear any suggestions for coping, and in particular whether it is likely to stop as she gets older. I'd expected her to be past the worst of the chewing by now. She's alone for bits of the day, a couple of hours at a time, and that's when she tends to chew. Otherwise she has lots of walks, company, chew toys, playtime. She's our first dog so I'm not sure what to expect. But I dread coming home now, to see what she's chewed today.
