We crate o ur dogs when we aren't at home with them. Fisher always goes, but I would tie him down, too. They get into enough trouble when we are here. LOL. They aren't bad, but I think three heads are slightly better than one.

Short of coaxial cable, maybe try putting a muzzle on him when you put him on tie-down? If I were in that situation, I would seriously consider a muzzle (or some other bite-prevention device)--his safety is more important than his freedom to use his jaws. If he is chewing cable he can break teeth, get metal splinters in his mouth, maybe swallow some, etc. At the very least, broken teeth will be a major problem with which to deal. If it were Bailey, I would muzzle him if I were to be gone for a few hours. I heard of a dog who chewed on his master's bedding and suffocated; that wouldn't exactly be a good thing to discover when you got home.

However, that being sayed, with the exception of a cupple of power cords, there is nothing he could possibly chew on that isn't cheape college stuff, or indestructible to begin with.
