Okay so heres my situation, Two days ago I cam home to see that Duke has pulled up the carpet in the hall. This being a problem cause I move out in a month and now need to pay for this. I found this odd cause he has never so much as even showed any interest in the carpet. He's 9 months and has been out of his puppy chewing stage for months now. He does have toys to chew only problem is the ones he really likes like his rope toys are ripped up in no more than 2 days and I dont have money to replace toys every other day. The reason I think he is doing this is that there is a new dog on our floor who barks all the time and I think its stressing him out. I could be wrong with this but he only started this since the dog moved in on the weekend. What can I get for him to keep him entertained for the day while Im at work, Would the tv being on help him with relaxing so he doesnt have to focus so much on the other dog barking. Crate training isnt the answer cause he injured himself severly the second day I had him in the crate and I cant lock him in the kitchen cause then he will be the dog whos barking now stop during the day and I wont have the neighbours listen to that. Other than the recent carpet chewing he is perfect in the apartment while Im gone. I dont know what to do.... He does have a kong but hes done that in less than 10 minutes. Sorry this was so long but Im thinking theres really nothing I can do about it. If anyone has any toy suggestions or any suggestions at all on what to do then that would be great.
