I have a 40 lb Samoyed who is a specific type of aggressive chewer. It isn’t so much she destroys any toy I give her because of how hard she chews, but rather she is like a sniper. She finds the weak point in a toy and carefully chews it until the toy is destroyed. I had to stop giving her stuffed toys as she stripes the fur off of them and eats it. While nylon bones work, she will go through them in a few days. And I don’t want to give her toys so hard they will wreck her teeth.
The problem is when I go to pet stores, all the toys labeled for “aggressive chewers”, she finds the weak spot and destroys the toy within one day (sometimes within an hour).
I just recently got a tuffy ring and I was hopeful but she is chewing the ends and eating the fabric off of it.
Does anyone else have a dog like this and if so, what toys have worked for you?
I’m not saying that you’re not providing things to do. I’m just saying your dog is enjoying ripping the toys apart because it’s challenging. They’re going to pick apart the rope too. But that shouldn’t cause any problems. And yes I am using assumptions here as I have had multiple shepherds and huskies over the years that behaved the same.
Yea. I think the hemp rope is a good idea. I got one with tennis balls on it but she chews the tennis ball fuzz of it when we aren’t playing tug. Just a rope might work though, so thank you for the suggestion!
