she eats anything made of cloth, she rips apart items such as bed spreads and eats the filling and the cloth. nothing is safe around her.

get a good spray bottle and shoot her with water every time she does it. or use a shock collar - same thing only less messy.
also get her a good flavored chew toy or two, and hit the furniture with a good dose of bitter apple spray (available at most pet stores). good luck!

I have pit bulls and they would tear up my entire house. It was really bad between 5-11 months old. They weren't at all as interested in chew toys as they were my blankets, bed, wall trim, chairs...they even ate my stairs and tore the drywall off the wall...basically anything they could destroy. What I had to do was make sure they had something they could chew on at all times. What really worked for me was any of the long chewing bone treats, like Cheweez, Busy Bones, or Flavored Raw Hide bones. Just be careful if you give them the flat rawhides, because they can easily choke on those. If it's a really small dog the rawhide twistees work, but they don't last that long for big time chewers.

I recognise Stan's professional qualifications.... (often link to a page of his on here and have done so today).... however, with the length of nose and the ear / eye set then it wouldn't surprise me if he had pit bull in him. But it is only an opinion.

A crate worked for us when she couldn't be supervised. It's not a cage, it's a little den for her. Ours loves hers and she has stopped destroying the house out of boredom. Also walks, toys, and attention. It's ususally out of boredom and frustration.

Soak something in hot sauce, and leave it for her to chew. This is *supposed* to work (when I tried it with my Pit, I found out he *likes* hot sauce)! My salvation was the Kong... they make em for small dogs too...

They make training spray. Spray it on what you don't want chewed and the puppy will not chew it. It works I swear by it.

keep her away from cloth, and keep her busy!!!! try to kind of punish her, but not too severely. she will understand she's not supposed to do it if you firmly, but gently, tell her no, and pull her away. hope it'll help!
