Isabelle will be 2 in March and hasnt grown out of her "eating everything" phase. Its gotten to the point where its almost funny..so far, shes eaten...
my digital cable box and the power cord to it (that was a trip to the ER:reallymad), my bathroom door, countless bars of soap (I dont get it either), brillo pads, light bulbs, my bathroom door, a picture of my DB and the frame, my fav Louis Vuitton bag that my mom passed down to me, at least 10 pairs of Old Navy flip flops, candles, sponges, tampons (she opens the cabinets under the vanity and rips open the new ones, Ive had to put child locks on everything), plants and probably a boat load of other things...
Shes gone through 2 training programs...things have gotten a little better, I think shes just crazy. Whats the funniest/weirdest things your dog has eaten?
Here's a pic of her...

Awww How can you be mad at that face. Boxers are just so damn cute. I just love mine to death. I wish I knew what to say but Ordie never went through that phase. Have you talked about it with your ver. They may have some advice that could help you out. They only thing I know of is bitter apple.

she is very cute!! she is still a puppy though at not quite two. so there will still be chewing happening. The key to any dog chewing is to keep things they can chew readily available. My mini schnauzer has chewed soo much crap :mumble but once I had a basket of things chew friendly she didn't have has much urge to chew my stuff. Although ocassionally a pair of flip flops will get destroyed. Puppies chew its what they do. Some just need to exercise it more. I suggest Kong toys, busy bones, pig ears, cow hooves things like that. It will give her something to chew besides your valuables. question does she chew when you are around or when you aren't at home?

I think sometimes my boxer is worse then my kids! He is about 2 (not exactly sure he was a stray). My vet said and I have noticed that they don't like change very much. Have you had a change in your schedule or maybe your living enviroment? When my DH leaves or when our schedule for the day is messed up my dog starts to act out like a kid. He potties in the house, chews up everything and gets all crazy. But if everything is the same he is fine.

Your boxer is beautiful!
So far my five month old boxer has chewed on a windowsill that's low to the ground, a brillo pad, a frog, my husband's WOW headphones, my old navy flip flops, and laundry in the laundry basket. She is a handful.

I have two almost 2 year old Boxers..they went thru a chewing phase at about 1 year where they ate my wall...but they stopped. Mags will pick ANYTHING up that is not tied down and run around the house trying to get people to "trade" with her for whatever it is they have but they are really good about not chewing stuff that does not belong to them.
Now if I could teach them that 2 70lb boxers standing on mommies toes at the same time HURTS!!!

Apollo never really chewed up that much besides his toys. He put a few teeth marks in some of my children's toys and he chewed up some burp cloths and one of Madison's slippers after Hayden was born (we went to a dr. appointment and I think he got all anxious).
