My dog is a lunatic. She has chewed up lawn chairs, planters, the dog house, ANY plastic thing she can get her mouth on, even ROSE BUSHES.
I can't give her chew toys because the other dog will take them. He has had toys his whole life until I got her; they get along quite well, but either would fight for a toy.
Any suggestions, short of having all her teeth pulled...

Could be stress related..new environment..or feeling the need for attention over the other dog..WBMG?!...I think this is one for a vet or dog behavioral therapist to intervene. Felliway difusers work to calm cats releasing a simulated hormone that emulates the security they had with their mother..Might be worth checking out for dogs too!..Boredom can also cause dogs to become destructive...but usually only if they are left alone inside for a longtime or not exercised enough..but that doesn`t sound applicable to yours!
Good Luck! Xx

Hang a tire in the yard so she can beat it about and try a doggie sweater that is snug as it's said to calm them down even when fireworks are going off. Also try a pen indoors especially when she must be left for short bouts....she sounds a bit anxious....maybe change in diet....try table scraps...she'll live longer too. Never let her in the door ahead of you....she'll think she's boss...and watch a bit of Cesar the Dog whisperer ... http://www.cesarsway.com/channel/dog-training

Bob i don't know why, but that tickles me. Animals are funny, the things they do. they are amusing but some things can wear you out. my question is, have you ever thought about getting in touch with caesar the dog whisperer. he seems like a genius with dogs. i've watch his show a few times, and have seen him tame the craziest of dogs. but according to him there's always a reason why man's best friend acts like he/she acts. caesar tends to think we accidentally conditioned them.
