Sir Rumble Pig is about 1 year and 4 months old now. He has calmed down a lot but still has times when he gets the wild look in his eye and the zoomies and runs around like crazy. We have tried leaving him out of his crate for short periods of times and sometimes he is fine and sleeping when we come back and other times he has chewed up something that he never chewed on before, like a blanket. I am really looking for two different things. First, reassurance that crating him is not bad since he will not stop chewing. I know it is for his own safety and he always goes into his crate when I grab my purse but I still feel guilty. Second, how do I stop some of the chewing behavior when we are home? His latest interests include blankets and electrical cords both of which I am not keen on him chewing! We currently have baby gates set up in the doorways to all the other rooms because of this. We have a play pen folded around a lamp in the living room to keep him from chewing the cord. We have tried just about everything I can think of to get him to stop. He thinks bitter apple is delicious and time outs do not phase him. I would like to eventually get my house back to normal but am struggling to stop these behaviors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
