    Some more information may help OP

    Age of the dogs.. sex of the dogs.. daily routine?
    How much exercise do you give them?
    Training / mental stimulation.. how much do you do daily?

    Diet what are you feeding etc?

    All contribute to the overall behavior of a dog!

    I have 2 terriers ( and 2 collies) and have to say my terriers are much more destructive than the big dogs. It takes just as much exercise to satisfy my little guys as it does my big ones :D

    My terriers like to play tuggy with EVERYTHING! my eldest is nearly 12 and she has yet to calm down at all

    So my advice with terriers....keep them well exercised and do lots of brain training

    I suggest investing in 2x the large versions of this bone. Best thing I ever bought to end the furniture/shoe destruction our terrier caused when we first got him. I recommend the large version as they may get through the smaller ones.

    5 years later and there isn't even a dent in it, all other toys destroyed. He still spends houra chewing it. You can also pack in with peanut butter/treats and freeze it, they'll be hours at it, it will tire them out.
