Help! I am super desperate. I have a 1 year old Chow mix female. She was given to me as a puppy and was/is very hyperactive. She has always had a chewing habit despite the numerous chew toys she has. She has destroyed most of them. She is not aggressive and has never bitten anyone or barked at us. She has absolutely no food bowl aggression. She's just a stubborn girl.
She recently chewed up a young plum tree and reduced it from 6 ft. to 2 ft. She chewed through her leash one night. (We had to tie her up to prevent her from digging her way out under the chain link fence). We are about to receive some new trees and bushes any day now and we don't need her destroying our new landscape.
We have tried praising, scolding, rewards, playtime, brushing, treats, affection, etc. I am one phone call away from getting rid of her but I don't want to do that just yet. Any ideas, besides calling the Dog Whisperer?
