Some dogs are unable to chew and do not release pressure when chewing on very hard materials. They often have teeth that are already filed down or broken from chewing on stones, for example.

He should be able to put it in his mouth and still have room to chew and rub his teeth against the wood to sand it down little by little and remove the marrow. If you choose wood that is too difficult for your dog to chew, he will abandon it.
