Help, the dog gnawed a hole in the interior wall

[Shagrath]

Spackle, sand, paint. Wait a little first, there's a good chance there will be another incident...

The risk is high haha...

Spackel as mentioned and I would have masked sharply vertically all the way up to the ceiling somewhere a little to the right of that outlet. Maybe taken a completely different shade (gray?) and made a thing of it being a different color.

Like it! Thanks for the tip and the picture!

It sounds like the dog has mild separation anxiety, which is quite easy to address. If you don't address it, it CAN happen again that it chews on inappropriate things. Put yourself in the dog's situation. It arrives at a new place with kind people and then they suddenly leave. Disaster! It has no idea that you plan to come back. It just wants to go with you, being a pack animal. There are dogs that have jumped straight out through window glass to follow their new owners. Another misunderstood dog was tied to a radiator in the basement to avoid damaging the house or furniture. In panic, it bit through the radiator, resulting in water damage. The advice is to gradually accustom the dog to being alone. Radio talk and chew toys, as already mentioned, are also great tools.

Sure, thanks for the help
I've been working with dogs for the past ten years, my dear partner didn't think quite as far though.
Always nice to get such a picture sent to the phone haha...
