how to prevent flowerbed destruction

HWONG Novice Oct 3, 2002, 11:46 PM Views: 36542 how to prevent flowerbed destruction I spoke too soon about my Dane pup(MAC) being a good boy. I took a so called pre-emptive measure to prevent him from tearing up my planting but it is not working. The chemical I bought is a jell-like crystal which you springkle over your planting. Dogs are supposed to dislike the smell and stay away but it doesnt seems to stop MAC. He evn lis on top of the treated area. The stuff obviuosly isnt working and I am at a lost.I also bought him a plastic chewing bone but he prefers the plants, towels, concrete. etc Any one out there who has a remedy short of locking him up. Suggestion of any kinds are most welcome. Thks n rgds.

HWONG Novice Oct 4, 2002, 5:45 AM Views: 36524 Re: [leopui] how to prevent flowerbed destruction THks leo, for the info and I think the Kong thing will work but where can I buy it in Malaysia? Any idea?

ginl ALPHA Oct 4, 2002, 5:46 AM Views: 36524 Re: [leopui] how to prevent flowerbed destruction Hey Kong is an excellent toy! You can stuff treats and food into it and give it to your dog....it'll keep him occupied for hrs trying to get the food out....and the rubber for the black Kong is extremely tough even for the more chewing addict dog.

leopui K9 Maniac Oct 4, 2002, 6:56 AM Views: 36519 Re: [ginl] how to prevent flowerbed destruction Ginl, you are right about KONG ... I have a few brough back from States some five years ago ... they are still in "good-condition" although one have being "chewing" daily by one of our WS since he was seven months old [today, this particular male WS is four years old] !!!

luckey ALPHA Oct 4, 2002, 7:18 AM Views: 36514 Re: [leopui] how to prevent flowerbed destruction you can get Kong at Pet Wonderland at Midvalley Megamall in KL... opposite World of Feng Shui thought of getting it before but thought it would drive my dog ballistic... but now youre all saying its so good i might give it a try. Another good toy for doggies that keep them occupied for hours are those small coke bottles.,.. made of plastic and are hard and smooth, just big anough so it can be held in the mouth but it slips coz too hard and smooth. Those small ones work for medium brreed dog pupppies like cockers..

ginl ALPHA Oct 4, 2002, 7:39 AM Views: 36511 Re: [luckey] how to prevent flowerbed destruction I used to give those to mine when he was a puppy and he did like it but now it'll only take him a few minutes before he destroys it....I give him the big bottles and he's a compulsive plastic bottle destroyer

I used to give those to mine when he was a puppy and he did like it but now it'll only take him a few minutes before he destroys it ... Ginl, you are keep a JRT ... right??? Do you mean over the KONG or the plastic bottle??? LEO PUI Get REAL, Train REAL & Be REAL! Do RIGHT and FEAR No One!

luckey ALPHA Oct 4, 2002, 7:51 AM Views: 36509 Re: [ginl] how to prevent flowerbed destruction hehehe... like jupey is a compulsive paper shredder... woke up one mornign and my room looked like it snowed.

ginl ALPHA Oct 4, 2002, 7:59 AM Views: 36506 Re: [leopui] how to prevent flowerbed destruction heheh I meant the plastic bottles....if he cud destroy a black kong within minutes then he must be Super Dog! I've stopped giving him the bottles coz he destroys them too fast and they can be quite dangerous if he breaks off the pieces and swallows them.

leopui K9 Maniac Oct 4, 2002, 9:48 PM Views: 36491 Re: [ginl] how to prevent flowerbed destruction LOL ... I should HAVE guess that!!! LEO PUI Get REAL, Train REAL & Be REAL! Do RIGHT and FEAR No One! (This post was edited by leopui on Oct 4, 2002, 9:49 PM)

mianw Novice Oct 6, 2002, 4:30 AM Views: 36452 Re: [May] how to prevent flowerbed destruction These kongs are expensive and almost useless. "Almost" because my rotti preferred the ring ball and my worn-out tennis ball! However, I have now tied a long piece of laundry string to it and my rotti loves to jump for it when we swing it about. Actually, wasn't this supposed to be about how to get your doggie from getting at your plants?!!! I have an effective but time-consuming way: when I let my rotti go out into the backyard to do his business, one of us follow him out. When he is about to get at one of the plants, we just firmly tell him "NO"! and he stops. Hopefully as he grows up he will understand that this behaviour displeases us and stop it for good.

ginl ALPHA Oct 6, 2002, 5:37 AM Views: 36448 Re: [boon] how to prevent flowerbed destruction Boon there are a few places selling Kongs in Penang....K9 petshop, Midlands petshop and also Peng Aun vet....i got mine frm K9.....every one of those places hv a wide range of Kong products....happy choosing!

Khoobg Webmaster Oct 6, 2002, 9:32 AM Views: 36441 Re: [boon] how to prevent flowerbed destruction Hi Boon, If you wish, I can help you to buy the big one at RM 45.00 . Please confirm !

First time i stepped in the shop i thought i was in doggie heaven....so many stuff to choose frm!
