Brody chews my chalk......

[VillageSlim]

He's a 9 month old Golden Retriever. He's a big boy weighing in at about 80 pounds. Tall enough to reach the chalk on the rail of my Centennial Pro 8 without jumping up. Its hard to train myself to remember to remove the chalk every time I leave the table. Phone rings. Dog grabs chalk. Bathroom break. Dog grabs chalk. He really likes to chew chalk but he doesn't eat the chalk, just breaks into about 20 pieces that I have to pick out of the carpet. I've caught him in the act a few times and smacked his snout while issuing a stern "NO". He doesn't seem to mind. He is a smart dog and will eventually learn. In the meantime, I just ordered a large box of blue Master.

try using taom chalk, it leaves less residue

Leave one piece on the rail coated with cayenne pepper. That might cause him to think twice..

VillageSlim, Howdy;

Had a puppy once that thought it was good teething practice to chew up
chair legs and stretchers (the pieces that go from one leg to another), so,
I broke out the Hot Sauce, painted the legs and stretchers and no more chewing.
Just an idea.

Dogs are attracted to anything that carries your scent. That's why they chew cel phones, remotes, dirty underwear, etc.. Sounds like a bulk chalk buy may be you least stressful alternative.

Sounds like a pretty easy problem to solve...dog is prob on AZBark forum now asking why it is so hard to train you.

That looks like something that it isn’t

Jus sayin’

Teach him the leave it command and treat him heavy. Try to catch him when he's just about to look up to grab it, say leave it, if he does it's party time!

Or a shock collar starting with just a tone , then go from 1 and up or put the chalk away in your cue case and be thankful it's not developed a taste for custom pool cues ha ha

A friend of mine had a dog that chewed a bit on his Mike Webb cue. However the guy does such an awesome finish job there were barely any dents in it LOL

Shock collars should be left with the pros. You can easily ruin a good dog with a shock collar.

get rid of the dog

wow.

 

[couldnthinkof01]

wow.

I mean if your going to smack it around and yell in it's face.... Not a terrible idea. Better than getting hand surgery when the dog decides he's all done being nice to you.
One of those idog robots might be best.

A buddy of mine bought a lab puppy. I told him I hoped he had puppy proofed his house. He had a stack of custom fly rods leaning in a corner. Fortunately the dog avoided the carbon fiber which could easily have left him with shards puncturing his intestines. He was only interested in the cork handles...all of them.

 

[xX-Wizard-Xx]

wow.

Been there done that... Trust me it's better to get rid of the dog. Much rather not have a dog then have to chase around cleaning up behind 1

To each their own. Training dogs isn’t easy and a lot of people aren’t willing or are unable to do the work.

i’d get rid of my pool cues before i’d get rid of my dog.

I wouldn't keep a dog in the house anyway. Especially a 80 pound 1.

I had a lab that was wonderful and actually fairly easy to train. Once she realized I was the alpha dog of the pack she did everything she could to not get in trouble..

One of her great lessons was to enter the house and search every single room for anyone not in our pack. She would go on command sniffing everywhere. Her last stop was me rewarding her with love and a game of catch the ball in the back yard..

Miss her to this day!
