Neapolitan Mastiff Discussions & Pictures / Re: Crating a Neo

He's about 1.5, 170 pounds and stands taller than my 6'3" husband when he's up on hind legs.  Do they even make crates that big?  And where can I get one?

Neapolitan Mastiff Discussions & Pictures / Crating a Neo

Does anybody crate their neo?  I need an indoor option for Mule while I'm at work.  He has an apartment in the garage, complete with queen size bed, radio and fan, but he has chewed through the chain link run part, and I can't keep him there.  He's such a chewer, I don't trust him alone in the house, but I don't have extra space for a dog room.  BTW in case you might think I don't know what I'm doing...I don't ::)  Mule is my new hubby's dog and we've only all been together a short while.  I'm trying to make everybody comfy and happy and still keep my house unchewed. ;D

Thanks for all the great suggestions.  I tried the coconut last night and Mule loved it!  He stalked it and pounced and batted it around just like a kitten.  It was hilarious considering he's 170 pounds of mastiff!  He seems to be going through a chewing phase...he didn't used to be this aggressive a chewer.  I'm concerned because we're getting a rescue puppy tomorrow and I don't want Mule chewing on him :-\

Our local Home Depot is having a sale on railroad ties... ;D

Mule also gets bored with his Kong after it's empty, although he has chewed through several of those, too.  I guess I'm worried that he'll choke on pieces of rubber.  He does seem to enjoy real bones and rawhides.  Has anyone ever given their dog the really HUGE ones I've seen (in the Smith & Foster catalog - I think they're 2 feet long).  I'm definitely going to try the coconut idea.  Who knew :D  Thanks!

Hi everybody, I'm new here.  We've got a 1.5 year old chocolate brown Neapolitan Mastiff.  He's very big and very sweet, but a power chewer!  You know those tire toys?  Chewed to bits.  Big hard rubber bone?  Chewed to bits!  We laugh now at any toy that says "virtually indestructible ."  Does anyone have any recommendation s?  Better toys?  Ways to keep him from chewing so aggressively?  I'm about ready to give him the spare tire from my car!! ;D

THanks
