Dog Chewing Problems - My One Year Old Dog Cannot Stop Chewing
Perhaps this is your dog. At one year old, she cannot seem to stop chewing things. She has toys, and chews them up soon after she is given them. You give her dog bones, but she eats them and sits waiting for the next one, it does not solve the problem she has. If you carry on giving her things while you do not know why she is chewing, it is just throwing money away.
Besides the money you spend on toys, there is the danger she might swallow bits of the toys. How will you know if she does swallow something small, as you cannot watch her all the time? It really is dangerous to allow her to continue chewing.
Some dogs chew objects around the house. such as towels, curtains, table legs, chair legs, and furniture. These are a few examples. If your dog has this problem, the damage to your property can be quite destructive, and expensive to replace.
So what might be the cause of the dog wanting to chew everything in site?
Does your dog spend enough time outside, or is she an inside dog? A dog chewing as much as this is meant spend more time outside, and is probably just bored through lack of exercise. So give her more exercise if she is not getting enough now. Make sure she gets a run as part of that exercise program. .
Try throwing a ball, she will enjoy running for that. If you are not able to take her for exercise yourself, perhaps a neighbor with more time might be able to help. There are always ways around these problems.
Another alternative is to teach her some new tricks.

Frequently Asked Questions...
our rats chewed up the plastic ball to run in, the water bottle and other things.?
I know we'll probably need to get a metal wheel, but what about the tubes that they can go into? How can they get exercise?
Answer:
Your rats are probably bored, and bored rats tend to turn destructive (voice of experience here!). Give them lots of different toys (parrot toys are perfect), see here for more toy ideas: http://www.dapper.com.au/toys.htm - you'll want to switch the toys around more or less randomly maybe once a week or so, so they don't get bored with always having the same old toys.
Try handling them as much as possible: maybe they want your attention, and are getting frustrated when they DON'T get it. At the very least they wouldn't be bored if they got lots and lots of attention every day.
You could also try providing your rats with vegetable bones (the ones for dogs) - my girls loved these - just look for ones that don't contain lots of corn. If the first ingredient is corn, that usually means it's the main ingredient. Corn has little to no nutritional value, and animal-quality corn can contain toxic mould.
The plastic balls are actually dangerous: they're hot, confining and scary to the rats, plus they can lead to spinal damage from the arched position the rat has to walk in.
A good solid plastic wheel (something like a Wodent Wheel) is much better - provided the wheel has a MINIMUM diameter of 30 centimetres.
Wire wheels are also dangerous: ratty toes, tails and nails are at a constant risk of getting caught in the spokes and either torn off, broken or degloved (having the skin torn off, an excruciating injury that requires immediate vet care and painkillers, plus usually amputation).
Tubes are usually safe, but they're a pain in the rear end to clean (more personal experience).
