Answers:
Hes doing it out of boredom you have to start taking him for a walk in the mornings before going to walk this will calm his mind,then hide little treats in toys so he has something to play with also leave him a bone.
shoot it
beat the hell out of him
Keep him in a crate. Give him more exercise as well as some obedience to stimulate his mind - he sounds very bored and frustrated.
Set up an electric fence.
You mean hes eaten the fridge itself, or the contents??
how about not locking him in the kitchen, or putting a lock on the fridge
A staffy isn't the kind of dog you should leave alone all day. Can't you find someone to take him out while you're at work? It sounds like he's lonely and bored, poor baby x
Go to dog training classes and you will be taught how to let your dog know who is the boss. He obviously thinks it's him.
Ive got a staffie cross and he used to chew everything in sight when left alone, the reason they do it is boredom and to get your attention even if its negative attention. A dog really shouldnt be left alone for any length of time. your gonna have to find some way of occupying him even if you just pop back in your lunchtime to give him a quick walk.
muzzle the little twat or knock its teeth out
spray your fridge all over in a spray which deters them from licking stiches you can get it from your vet or shut your dog in one room when you go out if its a massive problem
been through it myself with my cross breed staffy called mojo~ she made tunnels in my bed and ate a bit of it too!
Boredom ad teething i put it down to, mine had all the chew sticks in the world didn't even get left on her own that much, pleased to say 2 years on a have a new bed and its all in one piece and mojo is a little angel now!
i have got a staffie and she was terrible for chewing things up.try putting him in a large cage when you are not there.if it helps my dog stopped chewing when she was 2 years old.good luck.
Roast him. Alternatively you could, as has been previously suggested keep him in a crate or in a room where the fridge isn't. An early walk would also help. If you cannot do any of these, enjoy your roast dinner.
Hi. Does sound like he is bored, the Kong treat/toy is very good, and if you leave other toys ( safe) around he may amuse himself.
you can buy chewing deterents, but the simplest is to smear a little mustard to the edges of the fridge..only a little. and make sure he has plenty of fresh water down. have you considered getting a dog walker ? to break up his day. maybe a friend could pop in to check on him ? crates are good but i wouldnt advise you put him in for the whole day.
the poor thing is lonely, try leaving the radip on and some toys to play with and a good big marrow bone to chew on, but make sure there is nothing he can break of the bone because he could choke, never give him any other type of bone as they can splinter and do untold damage internally
staffies are renouned for chewing . buy a cage for it if ur not out the house for long , it must be big enough for the dog to turn around comfortably mind . he is bored thats all !
