Answer 1

You need to remember that puppies will get into everything they are curoius just like young children..


The puppy will definitely "mess up your place", because that's what puppies do. You will need to "puppy proof" your house, and get used to the idea that you are bound to lose some of your junk through the house-breaking process.
puppy will mess things up, needs a lot of time, exercise, consistent training, socialization, and did I mention time and company?  I'm not sure what your life is like, but a puppy left at home alone alot can develop all sorts of bad habits and can be quite destructive.
i don't think you need a puppy trainer. not if you have the commitment to do it yourself. maybe it's from growing up with dogs my entire life, but i think it's pretty easy. especially if you have the time and a few people. but make sure that you make one person the alpha. that should be the person who will keep the dog in the long run and that person should have final say. think of it as the whole "wait til your dad gets home" thing. one person has to be the hard-*** and nobody should go against that person. i.e. i think the best way to punish a dog is to let him/her know you're mad and then completely ignore it. and for that to work, nobody can think 'oh, look how cute he is, how can i be mad, i'm just going to play with him'. no, when a dog is in trouble he has to know that the whole 'pack' is mad at him and he can't get special attention from anyone.


When he does something good though make sure you et him know he was good...And puppies loving walking, running, car rides, and just having fun.
Make sure to make time to just hang out and play with the puppy....

Answer 2

Destructive behavior is often a sign of boredom. To help your puppy be more "friendly" to your yard make sure she gets plenty of exercise each day (that means a least one good long walk a day), gets to spend a lot of time with the family learning basic behavior skills or tricks, and has lots of interactive brain-engaging toys to play with.

Also, you will need to spend several days monitoring her when she's outside. The minute you see her heading toward something she shouldn't give her a sharp, firm, but calm "Leave it!" command. When she stops to look at you, pat your leg and call her to you. When she comes to you, tell her "Yes" or "Thank you", or "Excellent" to acknowledge her good behavior and then give her lots of praise and maybe a treat. (This is also a good time to give her a toy to play with, so her brain is engaged with something other than your flower bed.)

She'll soon learn that some parts of the lawn are off limits, but will also learn that your are fair moderator, and will treat her well when she does what she's told.

Simply locking the dog up or using hazardous behavior modification like a shock collar teaches the dog nothing. In California, it's also illegal to leave your dog tied up outside for more than 3 hours at a time.

Answer 3

What would you do if this was a baby situation? Same thing woman!! Get a mini fence around your flowers, keep everything out of reach...It's just basically come sense. A dog is like a human, treat it like a human, That's why you got the dog in a first place, right? To keep you company like a person...Also trained you dog with comands, not with a "shock collar", be a real pet owner and train it!

Answer 4

firstly, she is bored. get her chewtoys, bones and rawhide toys to keep het young mind occupied with.
maybe hang a nice squeeky toy from a tree by rope, so she can play tug of war with herself.
regarding the things she eats, get chilli powder, and sprinkle it liberally over the stuff she chews. she'll get the message. also get a little water gun, when she chews somethings and you catch her in the act, verbalise a command like 'no' or 'bad', and squirt her. it also works with a can with pebbles in it, when caught int he act, throw it near her hind legs, she'll get the idea.
dont punish her after the fact, she doesnt realise what she's done wrong, and will get anxious if you punish her after she done it. praise her if she doesnt chew on anything she's not supposed to.
when you got time, maybe put something down she's not supposed to chew, but cant resist, and watch her through a window, and the moment she does bad, do your thing.
maybe consider leaving her with a neighbour that has a doggie where he can play all day when you are not at home. she might be lonely also.

Answer 5

Are you keeping HER outside? My dogs don't go out without my supervision. If she's out there all alone, she's probably lonely, bored and frustrated. If she's an inside dog, she probably needs more exercize, (a tired dog is a good dog!). Go out with her and play some games or take her for a long walk. Destructive behavior is usually a result of the dog not having anything CONstructive to do.

Answer 6

What type of dog is this? Does she just dig in flower beds? Do you leave her out unsupervised? Dogs dig because it is fun. The best way to STOP you dog from digging in the wrong place is to find a specific place they can dig. Most terrier and some hunting breeds were bred to dig and it is in their blood to be diggers. Find a spot in your yard where it is okay for your dog to dig. When you dog start digging in the wrong spot bring him to the new spot and show her she can dig there. When she starts to dig there give her a treat and make a HUGE deal that is she is a good girl. Keep repeating this until she knows where she CAN dig and where she CAN'T. Do not scold her from digging in the wrong place...since digging is natural scolding will just confuse her. Reward reward reward...for digging where it is allowed. Another thing that will keep her from digging is to exercise her more. Dogs bore easily and sometimes do things they aren't suppose to when they. A dog with plenty of human interaction and lots of exercise will not bore as easily. Make sure you have plenty of toys (Kongs are great) in the backyard for your dog to play with.

Good luck!!

Answer 7

I had this problem with my puppy. The more exercise she got, the less she would chew on stuff. I think if they are bored then they find things to destroy, but if you give them an outlet for their energy, they are less likely to eat stuff. I now take my puppy to doggy daycare 2 days a week and take her jogging or to the park on the other days, she loves it. You should see if they have doggy daycare or an off-leash dog park in your city.

Answer 8

I would suggest that u keep the dog heavily exercised and maybe even possibly getting her a play friend. However if u are leaving her out alone for long periods of time maybe another dog isn't a good solution.

Answer 9

i have an 8month old pit that is the same.
You have to give her plenty of rawhide bones and toys... If you dont she will tear your stuff apart. Put them all over the house, and in the yard. i go through a bag and a half of rawhide a week but its totally worth it. My little pumpkin turned from Simone the destroyer to Simone the angel!!!

Good luck

Answer 10

she is still a baby. teething will make her chew everthing in sight. Or is looking for more attention and affection she may see that u spend more time in the yard and not with her.
