That dog would be gone. You haven't posted one endearing thing about it.

Bless your lab. Mine was a really lovable nut case and he could be very destructive when left alone. The things he did, if told, would border on fantasy.That doesn’t sound like a lab. I winter my trees on the ground in the fence with a lab to keep rabbits and mice away. He’ll accidentally break twigs, but nothing serious for my trees still in development.
I've heard similar stories! We have a lab mix and I'm glad he doesn't have those crazy tendencies. Although when he was a younger pup he tore up an entire armchair in about 15 mins while we were out running a quick errand. That never happened again though.Bless your lab.

Exactly!Good dogs are angels and we don't deserve them. Bad dogs are good dogs in the wrong situation, under the wrong management.
Yup he is. Though the one we had before him never hurt anything. Night and day difference, and we haven't suddenly changed how we treat dogs.I'm guessing a Labrador Retriever.
Seriously, I fend off cats, bears, roaming dogs, raccoons, possums, squirrels, deer, birds, but I still have my plants.
Have you tried any repellents? I find hot peppers to be pretty effective. The dog in question here does sound like a nut job.
He has like a dozen toys that are his own and is constantly getting new ones, rawhides, buffalo horns, goes on long walks every day, believe me we do everything and have even taken him to the vet and trainers to try and figure out why he is so crazy. He is very well treated, probably better than average dogs.Does the dog have plenty of toys of it's own to chew on?
Years ago I got mine too quit chewing on things by giving her a big rawhide chew once or twice a day. Once she learned that there was something she was ALLOWED to chew on, the issue became begging all the time, but that's a big step up.
My ex trained her to leave our food alone by baiting her with a steak left on a plate on the coffee table, and hiding around the corner. Every time the dog went for it she would jump out and scold her. Did this every few days for a couple weeks, and we've rarely had problems since.
Basically, make sure the dog knows it going to get theirs routinely, and how to identify what's NOT theirs.
I wish but not my dog. He's the "family dog" and if he goes, a certain person would go with him most likely.That dog would be gone. You haven't posted one endearing thing about it.
Sounds like he has the personality of a Muppet! Just ridiculous.Yup he is. Though the one we had before him never hurt anything. Night and day difference, and we haven't suddenly changed how we treat dogs.

He does. I don't mind him when he's not destroying things. I want to get along with him but it's hard when he keeps ruining the few things that I look forward to.Sounds like he has the personality of a Muppet! Just ridiculous.
I'll give that a try. He might just eat it.Penumbra mentioned capsicum..
I've heard of this being effective also... for Deer/Rabbits.
Tommy Pickles-style?. It's made of playpen panels.
Haha no, he would just move and/or eat that probably. These are super thick plastic ones that link together.Tommy Pickles-style?
Your dog eats like a goat.Haha no, he would just move and/or eat that probably. These are super thick plastic ones that link together.
Does the "certain person" also wreck your trees. This bears ....CAREFUL..... analysis.Yup he is. Though the one we had before him never hurt anything. Night and day difference, and we haven't suddenly changed how we treat dogs.

Our lab/ retriever mix ate jalapeños, hahaI'm guessing a Labrador Retriever.

Fertilzer! I think that's what he is after! He didn't eat the plants, he ate the soil, and I had just put some on the day before. It's full of tasty animal products so I'm sure it smells like dog food to him.My dogs would eat the fertilizer pellets and in the process ruin the trees and make themselves sick. I got this and roped off the trees. Within a minute they learned that the trees were off limits. I bet it would work for your spirited pup too.

Well hell, that's a given. You should have figured that out. Dogs are by nature eating machines.Fertilzer! I think that's what he is after!

You just made me realize why he probably went after them all of a sudden after ignoring them all last year when I was using an inorganic fertilizer.
