Our dog is eating the fence?

Question

What should I do?

Answer 1

My dog ate my gate once but i didnt scold him in case he took offence.HAHA

Answer 2

Give your bored dog something better to do.  You need to occupy his body and brain with other activities.  Train him in obedience and tricks, get him housebroken so he won't pee or poo in the house, play with him, walk him, brush him, give him a bath, take him with you in the car, let him meet your friends, pet him, buy him some toys, don't leave him alone in the yard...get the idea?

Answer 3

not a lot you can do. My old dog used to eat the wall. you will just have to keep an eye on it while it is out side. Don't worry to much dogs are not daft if it is hurting it it will stop.

Answer 4

He needs to be walked and see the outside world so take him for a jog to the dog park.

Answer 6

your neighbor obviously has something desirable, whether its a smell of a plant or the feeling of the soft ground to dig in. You need to lean something metal against the fence like an old outdoor table not being used or something similar. Also you could suggest to your neighbor about a spray made by nature's way (I'm pretty sure) thats like an animal repelent, its all natural made from plant extracts that animals cant stand. Its pretty cheap and it would keep all sorts of animals away.  

Answer 7

Have you told him not to?  (haha)

Well they do say 'the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence'.  You could make your garden more fun so he wants to stay there.

You could try a distraction technique, when you see him do it squirt some water at him, he will stop chewing to investigate 'where did that come from', try not to let him see you do it, soon he will associate this water with his action and hopefully stop.  You can give him his own chewy things to chew on if he is doing it because he needs to chew, or keep him occupied if he is doing out of boredom.  You can buy 'anti chew' stuff that you spray on to things you don't want your dog to chew on.
