Maybe you just have to find a way so that she won’t be able to find the zipper. I really love that dog. She’s really smart. Unzipping a zipper is actually hard but she can do it. Maybe she doesn’t have anything else to do that’s why she’s using her time tearing up her dog bed all the time.

Guess, what…she unstuffed her bed again! I’m amazed that she’s able to unzip that thing. It’s her best trick now if I can only get her to do it on command 🙂

What a clever girl! At least you can just stuff the stuffing back in without having to replace the beds like I had to do with my naughty puppies!

In reply to Lindsay. Adelle has unzipped two of her dog beds and it's really my fault for not stimulating her mind and body enough before crating her for a longer period of time. One other thing that I've learned helps keep her mind occupied is putting one of her indestructible Nylabone toys in the crate with her when I'm gone.

Thankfully I’ve never had a dog that liked to rip up beds! However, I fostered a dog that would do this only in her kennel so I think she was anxious in her kennel. I also took care of a German shepherd puppy that would also shred her bed in her kennel, but I think she was just bored and full of energy.

In reply to Dogs N Pawz. Yep, she's a puppy genius. At least I don't have to replace the cover just the inner stuffings :)

Unzipping the zipper is a very clever move for a dog! It sounds to me like Adelle is one smart dog!

In reply to Pamela | Something Wagging This Way Comes. Stetson eats from food toys and chambered bowls not to stimulate his mind, but rather to slow down his eating. He's a speed eating champion! I won't be teaching Adelle to open the refrigerator, but she will probably learn to do that when she goes to the prison and starts her advanced training.

One of the biggest benefits of feeding Honey in a food toy is that she takes a nice little nap after eating. She’s very clever so it doesn’t take her long to eat her food. But it provides more stimulation than eating out of a bowl.

Adelle is a very clever young lady. Do you think she’ll be learning to open the refrigerator soon?
