My dog has started chewing our post on our front porch, i haven’t got to catch her doing it as she only does it when I leave for several days. My wife says she mopes around for days and doesn’t eat either. Any tricks or fixes?

Never have had a post problem, but we have had trash can lids and water hose chewing issues. I've tied a trashcan lid to the dog's collar overnight and tied a water hose to it overnight as well, on separate occasions of course. After having to drag both around for several hours the dog seemed to lose interest in chewing them.

I understand the OP's situation, as my German Shepard is 1 1/2 and good golly miss molly he chews up everything, the wood post on his dog has the wood trim on the dog house, when he had the whole acre to run , he chewed up my cord to the gate opener, i will follow this an perhaps get some ideas as well

Had this problem indoors with plants, mud room bench, even chew marks on a flat wall. Citronella oil would be a good solution for you on an outdoor post. It worked on our indoor plants but killed one plant lol. Ultimately I had to catch her in the act and lit her up with the e collar. That along with leaving plenty of sheds and bones around for her has pretty much stopped the unwanted chewing.
She has big time separation anxiety when I leave according to my wife. I've found that I need to take her to the dog park or just have extended fetch sessions to totally exhaust her before I go anywhere. When I do that, she's a model citizen.Last edited by TexaRican; 06-07-2021, 12:39 PM.

Exercise and interaction with you or your wife will help. It is just energy, boredom and anxiety. Exercise her in the morning for 15-30 mins and then again in the evening if you have time. Treadmills work wonders too! They learn how to run on them easy. The e collar, pepper and punishment will work or not but not nearly as effective as a tired pooch.
