I have a 9 mos. old lab/mix and I have tried to leave her alone for 5-10 mins at a time with a radio on and some things with my scent on them to make her feel comfortable, but she chewed up some newspapers and scattered them all over the place. My main concern is that I rent, and I am really afraid she will chew up the rug(which is wall to wall throughout), walls, or baseboards. She has a ton of chew toys ranging in size and texture. We lavish her with love and hugs and time as much as we can(mostly nights and weekends, we are mainly homebodies). When weather warrants, we take her for rides in the car. We let her sleep in our room at night with the door closed, but she has freedom to be in and out of her crate. Are we asking too much for her at this age? She isn't quite potty trained 100% yet, either, thanks to the foster home paper training. But if she needs to go, she at least goes on the kitchen floor.
