Animal Husbandry And Other Unnatural Acts: A Career in Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
dogs usually do this if they're bored, upset, or not getting enough exercise. Has anything changed? Make sure she is getting outside and getting plenty of cardio. Yes, your doggie needs her cardio. I actually take mine on bike rides so she can run a couple of miles every day. She used to be fairly destructive but now she's peaceful and happy... and healthy, too!

Teaching Your Dogs The Basics Of Dog Training

• How long are you leaving the house? If it's more than 3 or 4 hours regularly, then you should consider getting her into doggie day care or having someone come over to walk her and play with her during the day.
  
  Can you crate the dog? Can you confine her to one space with baby gates, etc? Keeping her away from the temptation is the best way to go. : )


• Mabe the dog needs to get out more. Take it places or even give it a bone and more toys to keep it busy.


• Put bitter lime on whatever you don't want her messing up. It has a bad taste.


• yup


• got to ask yourself...what has changed? how many dogs do ya have...did ya get a new one recently? if so ...she might not like the new room-mate...ya might have to crate her..or crate the new one if that's the case....
  good luck to ya
