He is very very well behaved when he is with me, or just as long as there is someone home. As soon as we leave thou, he turns into Kujo! Eats thru his crate (he was supposedly crate trained) escapes from an outdoor kennel, broke out of a nylon harness...we need help.
We've tried everything but the drugs. He ate his way out of a steel crate and a kennel. we love him and I am afraid he is going to hurt himself.



Answer
He is not a monster dog. He suffers from separation anxiety. It is a fear thing. He is just trying to get to you. Try putting some of your old clothes in the crate with him after you wear them, leaving your scent with him to comfort him. You may have to ask a vet for some sedatives to calm him. Put him in the crate while you are home and leave his view. Return when he whines and let him know he is ok.(but don't let him out of crate) Let him get used to the fact that you will return. Do this over and over and over again, and the length of time before he gets upset will increase. This is not an instant cure, be patient, and above all, do not lose your cool, as this will make him even more upset. Remember, patience and time will give him more control of his fear.

what do u do with a dog that will eat through metal to get out of his dog run?

Seriously.
This dog can escape anything.
Metal is no object.
Wood can be taken eaten through of in 1/2 hour...even at about 3 ins thick.
and he is large, like i dunno, Labrador size.
Are the any escape proof huts or runs?


And if you are gonna say dont keep him in a run, we have to sometimes so just shut up!



Answer
Hi there. Loads of dogs have 'runs' or 'crates' and there is nothing wrong with this as long as the dog isn't abused and left there all the time (which your dog obviously isn't).

The dog is trying to get out as he doesn't like it in there. This means that you have to make him/her WANT to go in there and like it.

You sound like quite a responsible dog owner anyway but if you haven't tried the following, give it a go:-

Put plenty of treats in there and hide them so the dog has to sniff them out. Feed him and water him in there for a few weeks. Give him his favourite toy in there and play with the dog outside the run and then throw the chew toy into the run and let him bring it to you (with the gate open so they can enter the run and leave as it wants to).

If a dogs wants out, it will chew away and most runs / crates will eventually get damaged. I would worry about the dogs teeth though as chewing on metal will create long term problems.

Try to get the dog to like it. This is the only thing I can thing of that would eventually work.

Good luck!
