Dogs
All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

My youngest just enjoyed the destruction. Didn't matter the toy, it had to be destroyed.
She'll play with anything, though, so for me it was mostly just a matter of finding more durable toys. The Kong ball seems to be up to the challenge, and she loves it.
Maybe try giving him some ice cubes? Both of my dogs love them and it seems to satiate the pup's need to destroy something.
Good shout with the ice cubes! I think he likes them! Obligatory dog tax included, that's him being curious about ice cubes
Adorable! Glad he likes them.
Just be sure to watch and make sure he doesn't carry them off and try to hide them. lol. My pup did that at first (not realizing ice cubes were ephemeral), and I'd find very tiny, very cold wet spots later in the day.
