bird 9,868 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 as above,Buck chewing it up, moved to new place used wood shed , what was used to store wood for wood burner for my bungalow .A lot of hard work went it to it , 3 compartments , insulated it coverd with ply where dogs sleep and wooden floor so nice and warm inside, and put new floor down (slabs) trigger2 jon done for me , and very good job he did , brought my panels with me from other kennel .So with hours worked and money , it good set up I think .I take the dogs twice a day a lot of free running 3 hours a day, there worked fair amount I out to night with both of them, with trigger2 jon , and they get beef neck bones 2 days a week. Buck tried scratch at the ply to get his teeth in last night, he chewed the door frames , put new door frames in . I was so angry last night with him, I could just about walk him , with out killing the twat he came very close to getting hurt badly . ive muzzled him now took advice of my wife, and he will stay like this now. my old kennel+run was breeze+block , and compo base, maybe should have had one built , but thought be nice and warmer in the the shed, you leave and learn.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Have you tried them metal strips you get from B&Q? Plasterers use them on corners before plastering i think? I did both my kennels in them when I got them. Cost peanuts... 4 Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 It isn't fair to muzzle a dog all the time it is in the kennel: it needs to itch itself, groom itself, not to mention drinking when it needs to. Even a basket type muzzle won't really allow a dog to drink properly. I feel for you as I've had a couple of terriers the same way inclined. In the end I made sure they had large willow branches to chew on at all times: that did the trick, and willow isn't dangerous at all, quite the opposite. Failing that, if the dog feels frustrated at being confined, get it a giant dog wheel to run on: only joking! 3 Quote Link to post

krawnden 1,036 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Put chilli powder on the wood and let him lick it off No guarantees with that. I had a greyhound bitch that was chewing wooden doors and frames so I spent about an hour carefully painting every wooden surface within her reach with a real blow-your-head-off chilli paste. Let the bitch in and the moment she smelt it she just licked the whole lot off Quote Link to post
