Shih Tzu full mask sporran? Anyone?

Arrrgh! Man that is tough... I think turning the dog into a sporran strap would be a better idea (kidding, of course

)

Sorry to hear that Bradley, but thank you for choosing my strap again.

Note to self, send Winston a milk bone

HAH!
That turd has a chest full of toys and rawhide pieces and all sorts of things. But, no, he prefers Nikki's high heels and (apparently) my leather pieces.

It is because those things SMELL like you and Nikki. And he is chewing them most likely because he is not getting enough attention. Common behaviour problem. Spend more time with the dog, certain breeds demand more attention than others. And make sure you rub your smell on all of his toys and playthings. I don't know enough about that particular breed, but if it is a working breed, start working him somehow so he will not feel stressed. A stressed dog is nervous and will chew.

My dog will completely ignore any new toys we give her. So we stick them in the bottom of the dirty clothes basket under a pile of laundry for a while and let them 'age'.

When we retrieve them from the laundry and give them to the dog, she wont put them down, she will run and walk all over the apartment with them, carrying whatever it is we just gave her with her where ever she goes. She'll sleep with it, play with it, chew on it, and she doesn't chew on things that clearly are not hers.
