but he's started to irritate me being in the house, i let him outside to pee and poop, but he tears everything up, he chews on everything, i came to realization when i received my new laptop charger in the mail b/c he chewed up my old one, a replacement one would cost me 99.00 so i got a universal generic one for 25.00 which isn't that much, but he's chewed up so much more that has cost me plenty. so tonights his first night sleeping outside, my husband said oh u want to turn ur house dog into a yard dog, u can't do that! so wut does every 1 think! is it wrong? wut should i do?!

I think you should be fine changing your dog into an outdoor dog. It is either that or you might have to get rid of him as he is costing you a lot of money! The only other idea that I could think of is possibly taking him to an obedience course. That may help with the chewing, etc. But, there is no reason that your dog can't be outside! Good luck with the transition!

thx i put a little bed and i told my hubby tomorrow i should go buy a little doggy house for him, but i should take him to an obedience class but right now financially we are pretty stuck, we have my son's b day and two weddings, and several b day parties. plus two graduations. so we're financially swamped, but once we're okay that's def. on my to do list.

No he shouldnt be chewing on everything. Have you tried dog chewies? Bones for him to chew on? Maybe a couple of nights outside might do the trick. He might learn a lesson. I hope he behaves for you.Let us know.

i have many toys for him and bones, but he insists on chewing on our things especially shoes, and my kids toys! i agree with the nights outside! thx!

A tip you could try for in the house is to freeze a cloth and give it to your pet to chew on because a lot of dogs have a problem with chewing when they are cutting their teeth , just like a baby with biting .
I don't see how putting him outside is going to hurt him as he has a fur coat and this would give him lots of room to run around . You will be able to tell if he is upset with this and take it as it comes and see how well it works out .
Best of luck !!
