Bed destruction

Hi everyone,

I’m the proud owner of a Golden Retriever pup who is exactly 6 months old. She’s an absolute sweetheart, very obedient, playful and full of beans. However, I’m running into a bit of a problem.

Even though she has never destroyed anything else in the house, I can’t seem to find a bed that works for her because she seems to use it to let off steam. Let me explain:

Her first bed, a small, well-padded puppy bed, lasted a month before she started tearing it apart and eating the foam inside. Fair enough, she was a teething puppy. So, I replaced it with a large cushion, which lasted all of three days before she started eating the foam again. Then I switched to blankets. This time, she’s chewing the edges, and when she does her business, I have to pull threads from the blanket out of her... so we’ve moved on to a hard plastic bed, but she won’t use it because there's nothing soft inside...

She’s not allowed on the sofa, which she respects, but it bothers me because she has nowhere to sleep and ends up on the floor.

Have any of you dealt with this? (I imagine so! ^^) How long does this phase usually last? Or can you recommend a chew-proof bed?

Thanks

    You’re the only one who’s bothered by it!^^

    A dog can sleep perfectly well without a bed. You might have some rugs she can lie on to avoid the cold floor, but in my view, there’s no need for any training. If she thinks her bed is a toy, then fair enough! No more bed!😁

    Especially as it’s just a total waste of money every time she has a slip-up!

    In 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 6 months’ time (once she’s a bit less erratic), you can give her another one and she might finally use it for what it's actually meant for!
