Eating the walls

when Balu was home alone, at the age of 4-8m old she was eating and scratching the walls. I've read that this means the dog has a calcium lack... which I couldn't believe it as I was feeding her with dry food of 2 well known brands. I actually saw that this behavour was because she wanted to get out of the room and start wondering around the flat! I reached to this conclusion because she also scratched the floor and the door! Eventually we redecorated the flat (not because of this of course ;-) )... and she had no internal walls to eat!

The spray didn't work for me, unfortunately, neither on the cats that were doing their needs on my car in the garage!!!, so I quit on it :(

My first dog did the skirting boards and the end of the kitchen unit (formica and chipboard).. Jovi's making a big whole in the wall, which is an outside brick wall and not plasterboard (I think there's something fishy in plasterboard that they like).

We have made up a chilli, mustard paste and painted it on the bit he's chewed, so far no more damage to the wall!! I don't know why he's decided the walls tasty, as he has Neo to play with and when I leave them I give them kong challenges etc, but I think if they're going to do it, they're going to do it (unless crated continually)

It could be worse, my friend's cocker learnt to remove the washing machine drawer and completely destroyed it!!!
