We have two black Labs. They are almost 1 year old. They are siblings. One male and one female. They are both outside dogs. We live on 2 acres. They are confined to the yard by invisible fence. We also have a large pen (20ft by 30 ft, 6 ft high) that we put them in occasionaly. They both can jump out of the pen. The problem we are having is the dogs are chewing up everything (Garden hoses, wooden benches, kids toys, each other's collars, etc.) They are also killed the kids' kittens and a guiena hen. The animals that they killed have been in cages. Help! My husband wants to get rid of the dogs, I just want to get the dogs to stop chewing everything and stop killing the kids' pets. I have tried giving the dogs chew bones thinking if they wouldn't chew on our stuff if they had something they could chew on, but a large chew bone for each only lasts a couple of hours.
