Think of it like this, if you were to leave an infant at home alone with crayons they will try to find a way to keep themselves entertained! They may start to pull out toys, draw on the walls, or even get into something they shouldn’t be getting into and the same goes for our dogs!

They may be seeking mental stimulation and are looking for entertainment! Sometimes, a dog that eats everything in sight might have a medical condition called, PICA. If this is the case you can try to desensitize your dog to a muzzle so they can wear this throughout the day. If your dog does not have PICA you can try the following;

Feed your dog with a food dispensing toy such as a Kong Wobbler, Buster Food Cube or Kibble Nibble Ball for both mental and physical stimulation. You can also provide bones or rawhides (USA MADE) for your dog to chew on.

While your dog Is in a crate you can provide a Stuffed Kong.

Put food toys in your dog’s outside area.

Another great idea, is to make a giant ice cube filled with beef broth, peanut butter and even treats! You can leave this outside and let your dog work on it through the day.
