Question about 'out of control' wire haired pointer Someone i was chatting to took a 16mth old one on 4mths ago and basically hes wrecking their house big time. He eats handbags , shoes, tarmac furniture and anything he can get hold off. Apparently hes a loving dog but just destroys everything in sight. They work [the woman does school hours]and go home at lunchtime , the dog has kongs etc but nothing seems to work. To me it sounds as if its the wrong dog for them , i dont know how much exercise he gets although i know he goes out daily. They're lovely people but at their wits end with the vandalism. Is this normal for the breed and any ideas what to do?
Pointers are not my favourite dog for this reason. Without being indelicate, Ive seen an owner bitten and bullied by one. Can I suggest you put them in contact with Dibs as she has them bang to rights and will do a phone consult if neccessary
