Durable Dog Bed
- Thread starter Empire
- Start date
Following along as well, I have a doberman puppy that destroys beds, bones, and toys within an hour.
As the owner of a 4 year old lab, had one for 12 years prior there is no such thing as an indestructible bed. Kong toys are the best and truly the most worthwhile investment. I would skip a bed until the phase is over otherwise you are throwing away money. Mine lived in his crate with a old towel for a year. Then when he was good he got a bed.

I can't do that since I have a 14yo pug who sleeps 98% of the day. He needs a bed as he has severe arthritis but my pitt-lab tries to take the bed from him and he hates that. If I separate them, the pug starts crying bc he doesn't want to be alone. He lost his wife earlier this year to diabetes.

Was she ever crate trained?

to get her to stop destroying the bed you have to catch her doing it and reprimand her. shes probably gotten into a nice little habit by now so you'll have to do that for a couple weeks and reward her with a little treat or a "good girl" every time you see her sitting there peacefully (you'll have to figure out some way to reward the behavior you want from her). the deterrent spray may help too
no i have not. i've tried keep off spray. it worked but stunk.
no, i don't crate train. i understand it works, but i just feel too bad. she's a great dog, she doesn't destroy the house, doesn't run away when the door is open, etc. i think it's a cry for attention.
oh she got caught many times. she feels bad and hides in the corner with a sad face. she knows that if she plays the sad guilty dog, i'll eventually give in.
