I have a six month old pit bull who keeps chewing apart his bed in his kennel. Why?

[SS]

i feel bad not having any bedding in is kennel, but everytime i fix his bed and put it back, he destroys it again! He's in there for maybe 5-6 hours during the day at the MOST , usually less than that...any ideas?

Put something spicy in the lining of the bed the next time he rips it up. He's teething, you need to get him more rawhides and chewable things like that and when you catch him chewing the blankets tell him no and show him his toys
