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?!

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 !!

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.
