Tearing up pads

April 26, 2020, 3:55 PM


My 10 wk old cavapoo is chewing up her puppy pads in her crate. How do I get her to stop? We leave a nylabone teething bone in her crate to chew on but she still does it.

Answer:


Tearing up pads is related to boredom so some times using interactive toys like Kong Quest or Starmark Everlasting Treats can help.  The problem usually fixes itself with a little time and sticking to the routine.  Usually you can increase her available space by adding an exercise pen after a couple weeks.  Making this move too soon can delay her potty training progress.  Chewing up the pads does not create a significant health risk.
