Maybe try to give him something better to occupy his time in the yard like a marrow bone, once the marrow is gone you can fill it with peanut butter or cheese or other things. you could also do this with a kong but it might not be as interesting. this idea also helps separation anxiety by only giving him the "good stuff" when you are leaving. just make sure the toy/bone is safe if you are leaving him alone. I would keep him in direct supervision when in the yard if possible. I have a girl that has eaten everything. She would only do it when she was in heat. She once ate all my husbands screwdriver bit heads and auto light bulbs, nuts and bolts and wires. Lesson learned not to leave the tool box open. The doggy ER made her vomit and she threw most of it up( now learned how dangerous cause of the glass). We were scared about the glass auto bulbs and fed her a high fiber diet for a few days and hoped for the best as they could not operate for glass. She is fine and is now spayed and no longer does it. The joke at the animal hosp was that her xray looked like home depot! we laugh now but definately wasn;t funny at the time.
