Ok, so here is a video of Kyuss shaking his toys... essentially "killing" them.
I find it rather funny and cute, but I know this isn't a desirable trait. I've tried many different ways of getting him to stop from taking the toy away, to telling him "No" every time he starts, to not letting him play with any soft toys whatsoever.
The only thing is, it isn't limited to his toys. He does it with marrow bones, snowballs, his blankets (which he usually ends up blanket sucking immediatley afterward), clumps of grass etc.
I worry one day he'll get over excited playing with a small dog, person or child and do this to them.
He's a very happy dog and doesn't seem to have any aggression issues, and is quite submissive as well.
He also shreds soft things. All his teddies ended up with little holes cut in them where he would then proceed to pull the stuffing out and shake the empty shell of the toy.
I'm just at a loss as to what I can do to stop this play. =[
I searched the forum and couldn't come across much on this issue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, as well as links pointing me to a related thread.
Thanks =D
