Unfortunately, our dogs have and still will on occassin chew up a blanket or towel. Luckily, never any furniture and very surprisingly no pillows (yet)!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

If they get hold of ANY stuffed animal toy, they will chew it up VERY fast. My boy in particular likes to pull the inards out of stuffed animals after a few death shakes and chew a nice hole for pulling out the inards.

We have a few throws and blankets that look like we had bad moths - look like swiss cheese. I don't like this habit... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> But, it has improved a lot over the last year or two. Maybe more of a puppy thing and needed some more training about what can be chewed and what not (????).

My dogs went through a digging holes in the yard phase too. But, my cousin told me of a great trick to get dogs to stop digging and it worked great.

It sounds a little weird, but makes sense when you think about it.

If they dig a hole, put some of "their" poop in the hole and cover the hole back up. They won't want to dig at that spot anymore.

They will still dig a few more holes, but keep putting their poop in the holes. Eventually, they stop digging holes.

I can't speak for every dog. But, it worked great for ours and for a few other people I know.
