Idiots
I have a 8-9 month old Australian Shepherd puppy. We have had him since 8 weeks. He is nurtured and overall a really good dog. We have crate train him, and we have another 2 year old Aussie as well, and hes never done anything like this. They are in separate crates during the day. We have one of those pop-up metal crates, with the plastic liner with blankets on top, and he has manage to chew it up completely both the blankets and plastic liner. My worries are that he will start to chew up the carpet underneath it, and if i get another plastic liner, he might just chew that up as well. Any suggestions? We leave treats and chew toys in there, and we also have left shirts with our scent in there with him as well.
Answer
I would say to put a metal sheet on the bottom of the crate, a piece of plywood may also work. Also perhaps you should urinate in his face while he is in the crate so he knows he has to do what you want. If that does not work try punching him repetitively, and if that does not work I think you have exhausted all of your options.

TOP TEN TIPS FOR SAFE CAR TRAVEL WITH YOUR PET
For some pet parents, a tripâs no fun if the four-legged members of the family canât come. But traveling can be highly stressful, both for you and your animal companions. With thoughtful preparation, you can ensure a safe and comfortable trip for everyone.
Planning a road trip? Traveling with a pet involves more than just loading the animal in the back seat and motoring offâespecially if you will be driving long distances or plan to be away for a long time. The ASPCA offers the following tips to help you prepare for a safe and smooth car trip:
1. Keep your pets safe and secure in a well-ventilated crate or carrier. There are a variety of wire mesh, hard plastic and soft-sided carriers available. Whatever you choose, make sure itâs large enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down and turn around in. And P.S., itâs smart to get your pet used to the carrier in the comfort of your home before your trip.
2. Get your pet geared up for a long trip by taking him on a series of short drives first, gradually lengthening time spent in the car.
3. Your petâs travel-feeding schedule should start with a light meal three to four hours prior to departure. Donât feed your furry friend in a moving vehicleâeven if it is a long drive.
4. Never leave your animal alone in a parked vehicle. On a hot day, even with the windows open, a parked automobile can become a furnace in no time, and heatstroke can develop. In cold weather, a car can act as a refrigerator, holding in the cold and causing the animal to freeze to death.
5. What in your petâs traveling kit? In addition to travel papers, food, bowl, leash, a waste scoop, plastic bags, grooming supplies, medication and a pet first-aid kit, pack a favorite toy or pillow to give your pet a sense of familiarity.
6. Make sure your pet wears a collar with an ID tag imprinted with your home address, as well as a temporary travel tag with your cell phone, destination phone number, and any other relevant contact information. Canines should wear flat (never choke!) collars, please.
7. Don't allow your pet to ride with his head outside the window. This can subject him to inner ear damage and lung infections, and he could be injured by flying objects.
8. Traveling across state lines? Bring along your petâs rabies vaccination record, as some states requires this proof at certain interstate crossings. While this generally isnât a problem, itâs always smart to be on the safe side.
9. When it comes to H2O, we say BYO. Opt for bottled water or tap water stored in plastic jugs. Drinking water from an area heâs not used to could result in tummy upset for your pet.
10. If you travel frequently with your pet, you may want to invest in rubberized floor liners and waterproof seat covers, available at auto product retailers.
