Some dogs are going to tear up their toys no matter how hard you try to stop them. The best thing you can do is to be smart about the toys you purchase. If your dog is a heavy chewer, rubberized toys and nylon bones are a great option because they are much harder to tear apart. Plush toys, on the other hand, are extremely easy to destroy and should be avoided. Another way to prevent your dog from destroying toys is to make sure he gets enough exercise and mental stimulation during the day, so he isn’t completely bored when you leave him alone.
Dogs like to chew and play, that’s just a fact of life. If you want your dog to stop destroying toys, you should have realistic expectations but can still take steps to make your toys last longer. Good luck!
