Obedience training always helps.

Try putting Downey fabric softener on the house where the dog is chewing. They are hate that smell.

Scratch that "are"...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to give some wonderful suggestions. Livestock are not an option where we live. We do spend a great deal of time with these "girls." They like to play "Indy 500" around the pool and then jump in and swim laps. They then dry off by wrestling and bouncing on the trampoline. Goofy dogs. (Equally goofy owners, I must add :-D). Once we get some obedience training under our belts, we'll probably start some flyball/agility training as well.

We have 5 kids and there has been usually someone around to play with. They are probably bored now that the kids are back in school. Their job around our house is to keep an eye out for the cat, guard the family, and scare off our daughter's boyfriend. They also perform guard duty for the children to and from the mailbox and at the park. Tonight we are going to run them ragged at the "bark park."

Again, thanks for all of your help. Take care and God bless.
