Dog Health Questions: What's the best way to get my dog to stop chewing on the door frame of my front door?

I have a golden retriever that is almost 3 and he has managed to eat away at the trim while we are away. I'm almost ready to donate him to the local seeing eye dog training faclility...

Recommended Answer:
He's probably bored. Do you leave him in the house alone a lot? Like most dogs, if you don't give him something to do, he'll find something, and you probably won't like it. Try not to leave him alone so much, give him chew toys, get another dog so he'll have a playmate.

He's probably too old for the dog training facility.

Universal Principles For Successful Dog Training

• He maybe teething. I had a dog the chewed on anything wood. So I got a 2'x4' and cut it into pieces. He enjoyed them.


• Give him a doggie bone to chew on. If that doesn't work...beat his ***.


• well, at the pet shop they sell this spray that you put on things you don't want your dog to chew(in this case te door frame) and when he goes to chew it, for him it will taste sour and he will not like it and not chew it again.


• I have a 1 yr. old St. Bernard and he chews really bad on the corners of our 55 gal. fish tank base. We would constantly trying to make him stop so that he would not weaken it. We were told by the vet to try this spray called no bite. It is really tart tasting, and works great. They sell it at most major pet stores. You should give it a try. it is not expensive at all and it is so worth it!!
