obviously crate your dog when you are not home..and keep a very watchful eye when you ARE home. Until you resolve this...I would pick up the rugs. Dogs die from blockages every day.

I have a large pen in my living room for my pups when I 'm not home. When I am home I tell them "no" when they are doing anything I don't want them to do. They are puppies in training and if yours are too, it will take a while to train them. Mine are definitely learning but it has taken time. I work with mine every single day. I take them out of their pen when I come home from work and watch what they do. They are just like kids, CURIOUS!

Try putting Vick's Vaporrub where he is eating the rug.
