- Did you know that shredding and destuffing are actually completely normal canine behaviors?
The best way to manage these needs is to offer appropriate outlets.
When we can offer the right outlets for our dog's innate behaviors, they are much less likely to turn to inappropriate means (such as shredding pillows).
By the way - this applies not only to shredding and destuffing, but to ALL of your dog's needs. Meet their need through daily enrichment, physical and mental exercise ... and you will have a much happier and better behaved dog :)
PS: This video does not apply to dogs that are destructive due to separation anxiety. In this case, you need to address the underlying root cause (SA) - not just their shredding need.
It’s cute how she says “i-dear” haha. This is a good channel I have started these de-stuffing tricks thx!!
Hi There,
Thanks for reaching out! I'm glad you're enjoying our channel and found it helpful!
The enthusiastic bounce back to the platform! 😍
Haha yes, Murdock likes to give 150% effort to everything- even training exercises that maybe don't require that much 'oomph' 😅
omg, I have one of these Holee Roller Balls in my back yard. I don't remember buying it, and I never knew what the purpose was! They'll LOVE it now! Thank you!
Yes they're great for attaching to braided fleece for a tug, or stuffing like we've shown here!
My 6 month old golden retriever loves this!! She pulls everything out of the hole roller ball over and over again and then is so calm and happy. She has been getting out energy this way and has never started to shred inappropriate things. Great idea!!
Thank you- glad your pup enjoys it :)
I always wondered why my dog destuffed her toys and shredded them. Thank you. I'll be saving those cardboard boxes for her to shred, makes it a lot easier to put shredded cardboard into the recycling anyway. :)
Our one trainer's dog in this video, Charlie, the brown labrador looking dog always helps with their recycling ;) It's his favourite activity. Our trainer said he's a great help after Christmas breaking down all the boxes and packages!
My cattle dog mix is so happy! I started giving her stuffed toys to shred again. She even brought it back to me to play with her.
That's great!
Yeahhh, my dog eats what she shreds...every time. Cannot give her plushie toys, she even tears tennis balls apart.
I addressed this concern at the end, did you see and try out this solution?
What when dog ingests some of the cardboard?
We should always be supervising our dogs who have habits ingesting what they shred as we mention in the video :)
These are awesome suggestions but what about the dog that actually EATS and swallows the 'stuffing' ? I sure don't want a vet bill for emergency surgery for removal of a foreign object from her gut. Whenever I try to remove an item from my dogs' mouth she thinks its a game of keep away and will actually gulp down the object just to keep it away from me.
I addressed this concern at the end, did you see and try out this solution? We also talk about using things like cardboard and paper to shred that doesn't have stuffing.
My dog would eat the fabric. He can’t even have a blanket in his crate.
I addressed exactly this issue … did you try out the solution yet?
What do you do if the dog eats what he shreds ? Like paper and tissue.

I'll have to try these tips, especially the toys in the pillow case. I always wondered why my dog would play with his toys for a long time and then suddenly, one day he decides he has to get to that squeaker. When that happens, I pull out the squeaker and give it back to him. Otherwise he chews the squeaker and I think he eats some of the bits. I wish they wouldn't put squeakers in toys for that reason.
Yes, definitely for our dogs that surgically seem to remove squeakers we have to watch extra closely for possibly eating them!
It's virtually impossible to find stuffed toys without squeakers in them these days. I wish manufacturers would make more without them.
@@jonpertwee811 I think it would be really great if there were more made without them!
My dog goes for everything already. How do I get him not to just tear apart everything?
Hi There
What items do you mean by 'everything'?
Anything paper like tissues, mail, etc. Anything cloth like towels, clothes, etc. Bedding such as blankets quilts
@@NG-ef5dm How old is your dog? Are they doing it when you're home or only when alone?
Dog is a 1.5 year old toy male neutered poodle. He does it when we are home. Always on alert for an opportunity to steal something and start ripping
Do you have any advice for me please?
My dog absolutely loves cardboard boxes and de stuffs all her toys.
Yes, our pups love cardboard!
I don’t think any of these will work for our lab. She will eat, not just shred, everything!

@@spiritdogtraining I did, thank you but unfortunately we’ve tried everything. She will eat anything and everything!
