We have a Boston Terrier and an American Amstaff Terrier. They both wonder into the 'guitar room' and listen for a bit before leaving, but are always on the lookout for what they think might be a treat. They also expect me to hand out a treat once in a while. I recently offered them a brass slide, but they sniffed it and left! They show no interest in a guitar at all.

I have been lucky, knock on wood, that our1 year old 65lb mutt (part Anatolian Sheppard, Golder retriever, and about a dozen other things) has not chewed up a single thing.
She is quite wild and likes sing when I play (especially the banjo) but quite easy in the music room. When she "sings" she just sits there and wags her tail as she howls.

LMAO at these posts!! Sounds like I might have gotten off easy. So yes, Zamboni was named after the infamous Ice Machine...inspired by the Zamboni driver who was called into action at an NHL hockey game when the reserve goalie was injured. He is just a wild puppy, filled with energy. My only other concern is he likes to get my attention when I am playing my guitar...I have literally held my guitar over my head to prevent him from scratching it. He is in training classes and will soon enough, grow out of it.

Back at cha on the "Official guitar inspector" photo. I took Toby's photo with the caption to post on the official "Dog Shaming" website. For those of us who enjoy the canine persuasion it's a very entertaining website to commiserate with others who have "troubled souls" living with us.

Ha! Lesson learned with your doggy... heck, I'd get in touch with Scott at Charmed Life Picks and tell him what happened... wouldn't surprise me if you either got a free pick or a great price on replacements!
My first Boston Terrier, Piper Otis Jones, taught me that she needed some "guidance" when it came to musical/PA/cords, etc... I didn't get her until she was 8 months old, and at the time, I lived in a house with a huge front room, where I could set up my Bose PA and my electric amplifiers, all in one corner of that room... nice, out of the way, a good spot for my guitars to be out on stands, ready to go. So I go over to play my string acoustic through the PA and sing a little, and Piper comes along to check things out... she's not paying any undue attention to any gear or guitars, so I go ahead and plug in and start to play... getting into it, closing my eyes and letting the music take me away... When I feel something like having a fish on a line... it takes me only about 5" to open my eyes and look around... and in those 5", Piper had gotten through nearly all of a heavy-duty Monster "studio" cable! All the way through the outer wrap, through the second wrap, down to the insulated wires... fortunately, the cable still functioned, and I still use it today (this was 13 years ago). I was VERY firm and probably even yelled at her or spanked her butt... and from then on,. she wouldn't go near that corner with all the music gear... When I brought my second Boston Terrorist, Eve, home at 9 weeks, the first three months were spent teaching her, showing her the ropes in my little home... and she never did get interested in any of my guitars or cables or such, although I've had to caution her about giving the guitars a lick, now and then...! I guess I'm lucky with that... she loves to chew, but stays with her own chew toys consistently.

The worst I've had is when my dog Zeke comes to my lap for attention.
Sometimes as his last move, he shakes his head and throws slobber bombs back and forth. If my guitar is in its stand next to me, I have to clean it off immediately. That stuff's like glue when it dries.

We live in a Mediterranean climate and keep the doors open most days so the dogs can come and go as they please. The little ten-year old beagle is not much of a threat to anything. The three year old Rez heeler (DNA'd as part Australian cattle dog, part border collie and Heinz 57 of hounds and herding dogs) can be a terror. I have had some disconcerting moments when I left a guitar on a stand while I went to the fridge for a cold drink and heard a sudden THUMP on the porch. I know she is coming in at full speed, the only question is what else is she bringing in the house?
If it is the big rubber ball with the long rope, look out! She will run through the house at full speed swinging that thing like a medieval knight swing a mace ball at the end of a chain!
