My dog does not like pillows or stuffed animals

We had this same problem with our dog. We basically didn't buy him any stuffed animal or soft toys, instead buying him hard toys (kongs, hard rubber balls, etc.) to distract him and give him something positive to play with. Bedroom door were closed to keep him away from pillows and stuffed animals, as well as pillows taken off couches. To keep him from damaging leather or wood furniture while we were gone (he had severe separation anxiety) we crate trained him which has been our best ally. We've had him for a year in a half now and he loves his crate. When we get ready to leave, we tell him he's not going and he sits next to his crate to wait for his treat. At night when he's had enough of us, he'll walk in and go to sleep without prompting. Now that he knows we're coming back and that we won't leave him, we've slowly started taking short trips out without putting him in his crate (but we keep the door open). Started with 10 minute trips and slowly gone up to a half hour and things are going well. So don't despair, there's a solution for everything!

I totally agree with Marta J. Crate training is a great thing to keep your pet safe.

Crate training is a most for dogs like her. She can very easily get something that can harm her. It's not to late. Would you leave a small child alone in a room for even 5 minutes without a playpen or something to confine the child? Put her in the crate for a very short time. Wait till she's calm and let her out. Reward her with affection. Increase the time gradually. DO NOT let her out if she's crying or barking. Lots of excersise is a must. A tired dog is a happy dog and content dog. Only leave things you want her to chew on in the crate. No pads or blankets at first. She will probably rip them up and could swallow some. I worked at a vet hospital and a lot of surgery was done on young dogs swallowing all kinds of things. Some didn't live.
