Big Dogs

First, consider what might be going on in your dog's life to make him anxious, and try to eliminate the problem as much as possible. Is he left alone for long periods of time? Maybe he's just trying to get out of the house. I had a friend whose dog actually chewed a way out of his mobile home. Some dogs just have anxious personalities, just like people, and your vet may be able to prescribe medication to deal with it. Next, make sure he gets plenty of outdoor exercise, to the point of exhaustion, at least once a day. Be careful not to over-exercise him, though, and don't shortly before or after eating since it can cause bloat. Be sure he has plenty of heavy-duty chew toys. Anytime you catch him chewing on anything he isn't supposed to, distract him from it with a chew toy. You need to gently but firmly teach him what he's allowed to chew on and what isn't. Play games with him a few times a day. He could just be bored. If you haven't already, I'd suggest taking him to obedience training classes and asking a professional for his help and advice. You really need to be able to control this big dog before he eats you, literally, out of house and home!

as a dog trainer dogs have this issue when they are teething or under stress or jus wanted attention if u gamble with them with treats they will tend to listen to u . try practiceing for 10 min a day command and hand signal then phrase .give a treat to your dog for good behavior but if he doesnt reply then no treat then on certain days gamble with him dont give a treat and see if he or she listens .

Hi,icediablo. I have a french bull dog ,obviously,she is much smaller than Bruno.But i had face the same problem when she was 1 years old,she also chews and eats everything in my house,and she had even chewed a power plug!!So i had began anxiety since then.To train them well,punishment is essencial.You have to let him know what he does is right or not,and every dog is clever,he will understand later.
