I have an 8 month old Goldie, she keeps chewing wood from the door frames, skirting boards to the fence posts in the garden. My husband has just replaced the skirting boards and the 2 door frames that she chewed about 3 months ago. Got up this morning and she must of been up all night destroying them again.
She's not on her own ever, she sleeps down stairs with my 3 other goldies, they have kongs, nylon bones other toys, raw meaty bones in the morning, none of my others have ever chewed and she never chews anything else other than wood.
Does anyone have any ideas why she does it or anything I could put on it that would stop her from chewing it, she gets told NO when I catch her doing it and I give one of her toys to chew or a bone but she keeps going back to chewing the wood.
Please help before my husband leaves me.

Could you not crate her during the night and when leaving her for periods of time? our old dog was a complete nightmare nothing was safe window ledges, skirting boards, sofa's, lino the list was endless.We tried everything bitter apple, vicks, soap etc
Unfortunately i allowed her upstairs to sleep and that cured it but i suffered her then for 8yrs in my bed til she died :(
