Some of my dogs are chewing on the door way of the wooden box I have built. I am finding wood chips in their stool. How can I stop this? I thought of wrapping it in metal but was wondering if there is an easier way.
We use to have horses that liked to gnaw on wood and I got some stuff at the feed store to spray on the wood called "crib stop" or something like that. I would ask a vet or someone with knowledge of this to be sure it wasn't harmful to hounds,but maybe that would work for you. Let us know. CHH
I bent some galvanized sheet metal into U channels and flashed off the doorway. My Kennels have been like that for close to 15 years without ever having any ill effects on the dogs. I worked in HVAC/ductwork shop and used a break to bend it.
I took a flat piece of heavy sheet metal and cut a square out of it with a grinder and screwed it on it stopped all chewing and was a fast and simple fix. Tom
We went to the lumber yard and ask for metal J-channel, measure your door opening and use your tin-snips to cut length to fit, use short wood screws(we used 3/4" drywall screws) to put in place, you may have to use shims for a tight fit but it will look nice and hold up well ...Patch

and that stops them. they only have to smell it there next time and they don't even try to bite it
