They understand you very well if you tell them they are naughty and they have their own toys. You pick one of his toys up, give it to him and your griffie happily walks away with it &#8211; lesson learned! But&#8230; a week later you&#8217;ll catch him again with a pair of socks in their mouth&#8230; They just like them too much and I think many griffon owners can relate to this. The good thing is that they usually won\u2019t gulp them down \u2013 as quite a few Labradors I know tend to do. So I gave my griffon a pair of old socks all for himself, tied them together with a knot. Guess what? The sock abductions stopped! At least, here they did&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Griffons like to chew on things. Pieces of wood, balls, chewy toys.. Unfortunately, they also tend to kill their cuddly toys after some time. Sometimes they last a few minutes, sometimes months. First to go are the ears, then the tail and eventually the head is ripped off and the cuddly animal gets disemboweled. As the saying goes: Kill your darlings&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_329\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/adopt-a-griffon.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/otto-animals.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-329\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329\" class=\"wp-image-329 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/adopt-a-griffon.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/otto-animals.jpg\" alt=\"Otto, the cuddly toy slayer looks a bit ashamed when he apprehends the dimension of the massacre he caused... \" width=\"960\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adopt-a-griffon.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/otto-animals.jpg 960w, https:\/\/adopt-a-griffon.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/otto-animals-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adopt-a-griffon.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/otto-animals-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Otto, the cuddly toy slayer looks a bit ashamed when he apprehends the dimension of the massacre he caused&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Griffons love something soft to sleep on, a soft cushion, a nice doggy bed with a soft lining, but especially your bed or couch.
