Labs are chewers until they are about 2 years old. Give her plenty of toys and things she can chew on so she won't chew on the walls. Retrain her to go potty outside. She was stressed while you were gone and needs to relearn. Walking a dog daily will wear them out and they will have less energy to get into trouble and it is good for people also. Good luck.

Uhm if your dog is chewing through the wall then she either has a vitamin deficiency or she feels neglected. You have to constanly spend time with puppies. As far as the bathroom deal goes you have to re train her, show her when she goes to thte bathroom it may seem cruel but put her nose iin it and pop her with a rolled up paper you don't have to hit hard just make sure it makes noise. Also take her outside like every 30 mins until she gets the idea then every hour and eventually she will let you know when she has to go to the bathroom. Good luck.

well it appears as if your friend didnt pay attention to when the puppy needed to go, so your puppy relearned that it was okay to go inside the house. just retrain your dog.
there is some stuff that you can try so your pup is not chewing on the walls anymore like bitter apple spray, its liquid that you spray on the stuff you dont want your pup to chew on and its really nasty for the dog, or provide it with chew toys that are interesting so your pup will hopefully lose interest in chewing on the walls.

my dog had the chew walls problem. once she chewed thro the wall of a bathroom into the basement. she did it because she was mad at us.
as for the potty training, you pretty much just have to start from square one. she probably forgot what she was supposed to do. just pretend like you're doing it for the first time. she'll probably catch on pretty quickly this time. my dogs were like that for years. everytime we brought them to be boarded, for the next week or 2 they would "forget" they were supposed to go outside. just keep reminding her and praise her when she does go out.
for the chewing, make sure she has lots of toys, and if you catch her chewing on something she's not supposed to chew on, say no firmly and pull her away from it. rememeber, your the pack leader, if you say no you mean no.

you do realize that with that tittle "shity doggy" no one will want to answer your answer because they think you are being mean.
try re-teaching it won't take as long since it has already been trained and labs are smart animals(i know from expiriance)

My guess is that your friend Did NOT take very good care of your pet while you were away.
Pets don`t change their habits that fast unless they were neglected or abused .

Send your dog to school, and get it a spell checker.
