My dog has started tearing apart pillows. Started when we would leave her alone, now she does it at night when we’re sleeping. She doesn’t like toys or chews so we don’t know what to do with her and we take her on several walks a day.

She was recently spayed and we’ve taken her to the vet and had blood work done which came back all normal. We took her to the emergency vet after the first pillow because we didn’t know if she ate any of it and they did an X-ray and saw she was constipated so they gave her an enema. She’s hasn’t been eating her food and she tries to eat grass sometimes too.

Not sure where we could find something for her to herd but that might work. We think she may be constipated again and in pain because she’s not excited about walks, is lethargic and hasn’t eaten in 24hrs. We’re… Read more »

This dog needs a job. You need to find something that engages her mind and uses up her energy. Flyball if she loves balls, agility, herding sheep. Something you do together. If you only walk her she will need 2 one hour walks per day — believe me you will both be happier with a one hour walk and a training session each day for her “job” than those 2 one hour walks each day. Next you need to crate train her. Get a very strong crate and watch a video on YouTube about how to get your dog to… Read more »

Sounds like the dog has abandonment issues try giving her socks or her own blanket
