I have to laugh at these saying to crate the dog bc he’s a bad dog for chewing on stuff…dogs chew regardless if they’re trained or not, some dogs just do it smh. Am I supposed to crate my son for chewing on everything or make sure everything is outta reach that he shouldn’t chew on?? The kids already know the dog chews everything and have been told to keep their belongings up away from the dog. I don’t feel it’s your responsibility to keep replacing things when they know what’s going to happen. 
Just my opinion though. After the first few things got chewed up, they knew better.

Nope if u have made it know the dog is a chewer then they need to keep stuff put away not just to keep their stuff safe but for the safety of ur dog I have a dog who is a really bad chewer I tell everyone she will take it if it’s on the floor because that’s where her toys and chewys go is in the floor if its on the ground it goes to the hound

Not your fault. You told them to keep their stuff off the floor and away from the dog and they didn’t listen. Shouldn’t come out of your pocket.

I wouldn’t replace. The kid was told to care for their own property, and essentially fed the puppy their airpods. Your dog could’ve choked, or had digestive issues if swallowed.

Do the right thing and meet the other family in the middle and BOTH of you split it 50/50.
How old is the kid? I could see taking a tough line with a kid 12 and up, but anyone younger is naturally forgetful and the onus falls on you to be watching your pup like a hawk, especially if they’re known to chew/swallow items they shouldn’t. This is a safety issue for your pup. Period.
Valuable lesson learnt on both sides if you ask me🤷♀️

We had a new puppy one summer and were the house with the pool. I told the kids she was still little and it was on them to pick up there own stuff. We had a bowl on the counter for keys, phones etc that they knew to use. We told parents that she was in the process of being trained but only 10+ weeks old. Everyone understood. I was not going to crate her because she also needed to learn how to act with people. I think your mistake was replacing the shoes etc early on. Over the months that summer I know she destroyed stuff but those kids were 16-18 and knew it was their responsibility. Good luck

Depends on how old the child is and where they were. I’d probably go halves and not allow expensive items brought into my home without the parents knowing about the chewing pup.
Would they pay if the situation was the other way around. I bet not. You told them, they didn’t listen, so their loss.
If you told them 1000 times and they still left their air pods on the floor- their fault. Hell my kid can’t find her iPods INSIDE our house because she doesn’t put them in a designated place every day and I refuse to buy her new ones! Be responsible for your things! If you want expensive things YOU need to make sure they’re taken care of. Lesson learned IMO!

They are kids and for some reason these days everyone expects them to act the same as adults their brains are still growing ( the Brain isn’t fully developed till 21) ! The part that makes choices is the part that is still growing ! If it’s that much of an issue don’t have kids at your house ! We all were young dumb and stupid in life !

Kids need to start taking care of what is very expensive technology. I’m astounded at the number of children and teens that have these things that I have to budget for, and they destroy or lose it, then it is just replaced over and over. If they can’t keep up with it then don’t replace it. Lesson learned.

I’d replace them but for any future purposes wouldn’t allow high quality items to come over with the kids and take them yourself when they first come over and put it up yourself just so it doesn’t happen again.
It’s not your responsibility to replace stuff if these kids have been told. But maybe buy a cheap baby gate to put up in front of the kids door to keep the pup out
2 Likes
I would invest in some baby gates. We have 2 dogs, an almost 4 year old who chews nothing but her toys/bones, and a 1 year old that will chew anything and everything. I can’t count the number of Barbies he has eaten. But I tell my kids ALL the time… keep your stuff put away and your gates closed. If they don’t, and something gets chewed, I don’t replace it. They may get a replacement for their birthday or Christmas, but they’ve been told a million times to take care of their stuff.
I would offer to split the cost off replacements with the kids parents, because you’re both at fault. Yes, you’ve told your kids friends to keep track of their stuff, but you have a dog that you know chews on everything.
It’s both your fault - because of the dog, and the kids parents fault - for not enforcing them to take care of their belongings.

Your dog your responsibility. Just like your kids are and if they would have broken them it would be the same thing. Your house your responsibility if you don’t want to be responsible don’t allow them to come over! Leave the punishment of not your kid to the parents of that kid it’s not your place to punish them by not buying them. Now if the parents want to punish them in that way they can tell you not to get them but it’s their call. I would be pissed but what goes on in my home is my responsibility so I would Work something out with the parents. I probably wouldn’t allow that kid back over cause they can’t fallow rules.

You should be watching your dog more. Where’s the discipline on the dog? Can you prove it was thay child who didn’t close the door and not yours? idk seems a bit silly to me. It’s like asking a child to be responsible for their siblings actions when The accountability should lay on the parents.

Absolutely nottttttttt, I have a 1 year old pup who used to chew anything and everything if he was left alone unsupervised, I had a roomate who knew him & me very well, I’d give her beyond detailed instructions on how to handle him and to make sure your always checking on him / watching him the times I’d leave her to watch him, she of course would not watch him properly and has lost her own headphones and all types of stuff to his chewing, he even chewed up her actual phone one time!!! And I always told her how sorry I was but that it’s her fault it happened and I am by no means making up for it cause she didn’t watch the dog properly lol
So morally right or wrong is one thing and the law may say another…
Have you read the laws in your state?
I know it’s not the same as your dog biting someone, but your responsibility as the dog owner is as such.
a) The owner of any dog is liable for the damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.

Yes, you do have to. They are children and children do not always make the correct choices. The one actually at fault is YOU. You are at fault for not learning your lessons, you continue to allow your children to bring their friends over. You know the children forget things and you know you’re puppy eats anything when unsupervised…why are you not supervising the puppy when you have other children in your house?? But you even say you tell the kids to keep everything up or in your child’s bedroom, you did not seem to mention and close the door with the puppy on the other side, just in the kids room, this child left them on the floor in the kids room. Your puppy was left unsupervised by you, destroyed the property of someone visiting your house with your permission, so as the adult that is meant to be looking after the kids and the puppy, you are at fault. Put the pup in its crate, outdoors, or put a baby gate up, locking the puppy in the room with you, so that when the kids have guests over, they can play without having to worry anyones syuff is going to be destroyed because the adult is not supervising the puppy or the kids. It is a quick, cheap and simple fix instead of having to replace things your puppy destroys. A cheap baby gate or stop allowing the kids to have their friends over and supervise your puppy when guests are over. It is not rocket science.

Nope. Not your responsibility. If a kid is old enough to have airpods, go round to their mates house, and have been told ample amount of times not to leave stuff around then no you shouldn’t replace them…maybe this will teach them to not be so disrespectful of their own belongings because puppy or not, you don’t leave stuff on the floor especially if it’s valuable.

This is a tricky one… however, I think since you know your dog chews things you should keep your dog away from the children when there so nothing like that happens. You said he’s chewed other things you’ve had to replace so you know how he is toward things, and you can’t expect children to always remember to pick up things. They don’t think like an adult… so I would say you are responsible to a degree. You should pay something on them! And next time keep your dog up away from the children and their things!

My daughter has been to houses where her things have been ruined by a dog. She once came home wearing her friend’s shoes because hers were chewed up. I chalked it up to a lesson being learned. I wasn’t thrilled about replacing them, but I’d never expect someone else to replace them. She had been told, several times to put them up. She didn’t and learned the consequences of it. When I allow my children into other people’s homes, my expectations are that they’ll be safe and treated well. I do not, under any circumstances, expect that all of their belongings are being monitored by the adults in the home. Especially when I don’t know how much they have on their plate to begin with.

I don’t think it’s your responsibility at all. You warned the kids many times to keep there stuff up or it would get chewed, you even replaced a few items when you really didn’t have to.
And for all the people saying, you know your dog is a chewer keep it away from the kids, or put it away that’s BS! It’s her house, why should she have to put her puppy away just because these kids can’t be responsible, especially after being warned MULTIPLE times.

I think you should pay half. You know your dog chews (hopefully you are correcting that before you know he dies bc he chewed on the wrong thing) so you need to be more responsible. If you don’t want to correct the dogs behavior then you need to not be the gathering house. If your children or animals destroy others property you need to be willing to compensate. What happens when doggo is chewing on things while still attached to people? If you know your dog isn’t trustworthy to roam free then you need to be responsible too.
