Help with dog that chews on everything?

Keep him out in the back yard or get a kiddie gate type thing to keep him in one room that has nothin of value? But make sure to take him for several walks a day if he has no room to walk about in the yard/room that's been gated.

How old is this dog? Puppies go through chewing phases. Make sure this dog is crated when you can't supervise him, and make sure this dog gets a lot of exercise during the day. When you are home, he can be anywhere you all are in the house.

Edit: As for the dog being abused, you treat this dog as though he hasn't been abused. You treat him no differently than you would any other animal you own.

If you don't want to crate him, and aren't willing to do anything else anyone suggested, then maybe having a dog isn't for you, and you should rehome the dog to someone who is willing to do that stuff. Because with crating, you are only crating the dog when yall are gone and at night. Unless you aren't home much. In which case your life isn't suitable for a dog, and the dog should be with someone whose life is suitable for a dog.

Abuse is something I cannot tolerate as it literally deteriorates self-esteem (as it is meant to do) in children and animals alike.

So, here's what to do:

The key word with abused animals is PRAISE. You can't punish them or yell at them without scaring them half to death and often making the problems worse....so instead of reacting when they do the wrong thing, you have to lean more towards reacting when they do the RIGHT thing. When the dog pees outside, praise her lavishly - I mean seriously act like she just crapped gold bars or something. Give her a treat, a hug, pet her, do the "Gooooooooooood Doooooooooog!!" stuff.

If she is ripping up the wrong things (shoes, pillows, furniture, etc), give her the RIGHT things to chew on - a NylaBone or a Kong (you can put peanut butter or a treat in the Kongs, keep her busy for hours). When she chews on the right thing, praise her again. If she goes back to chewing on the wrong thing, give her a firm but calm NO and take it away from her.

Other things to remember with abused animals is to control your tone of voice; softer and higher-pitched for praise and love, quiet and lower for reprimands......and to squat down to their level when you can, so they are not intimidated by you towering over them.

Hi there, I see that you need some sort of guide that will give you tips and tricks to help your dog become fully trained and more healthy. Recently my brother really needed some advice on how to train his dog Hugo, a british bulldog. He followed the dog training academy course to successfully have a fully trained dog in a few weeks.

Try taking away anything that he can chew (except obv for kitchen units, chairs etc)

Maybe try cornering off a place in the house for him? Our dog stays in a corner of the kitchen, with his bed, water, toys and food, and a dog gate keeping him in. obviously we make sure he gets taken for walks, is let into the garden and gets enough exercise.

its just hard to find enough space in the house!

maybe your dogs bored? i know it might sound stupid, but try giving him more attention. he might be doing it to attract attention or maybe hes just bored (not suggesting ur a bad owner or anything) :)

i hope i helped x :)

Try spraying water in his face when you see him do it or use a zap collar it isn't cruel if you see him chew something press the button and it will give him a tiny zap not painful but it will just teach him if i chew i get zapped.

also don't leave your expensive things in reach of him.

Hope it helps
