My other suggestion is a bag of tennis balls - now you can buy cheap packs of tennis balls made in China and give Biscuit one to him at a time. So what if he chews these up.They still work out cheaper than chew bars.

I would resist confining Biscuit to a kennel. He'd be much happier inside and close to you. In fact if my Taylor was relegated to sleep in one of the lounges or in the conservatory or in the garage instead of a bedroom with a human lying on the bed, he would probably yell at noises like the morning newspaper thrown down our driveway at five in the morning, other dogs barking, birds singing etc. But being in a bedroom and having been told to be quiet as a little puppy, he has learnt only to talk when it is something really drastic. One of the secrets is not to upset him like I think your husband probably does - he kind of stresses Biscuit and confuses him and Biscuit's yelling out could be the results of this. My wife upset Taylor long ago and the result is quite amusing. Taylor no longer sleeps directly alongside me wife, but nearer the other end of the bed. Sometime during the night he will shift to the foot of the bed then later finish up alongside me on his own bed.
