She is bored and has alot of pent up energy that needs to be released. Make sure that you have plenty of toys for her to play with, take her for good walks and train her. If you see her pulling things off the shelves, tell her "no", then "off" in a very firm tone. Give her one of her toys that she is allowed to have. I am not saying that this is you but there are some people that get pets(exspecially dogs) and they seem to think that they come fully trained and well behaved. This is not true. They need to be taught as to what they can and can not do. They need their minds to be stimulated. They need lots of exercise, structure and rules. If you allow your dog to do whatever he/she wants, they will grow up to think that they can do whatever they want and they will.

First off, close the door.
Second, it sounds like your dog is bored and/or needs some attention. Make sure you have plenty of toys for it to play with and chew so that it doesn't have to find things to chew on or play with. I would recommend a Kong stuffed with some treats and peanut butter or something along that line.

Misbehaving dog equals dog not getting enough exercise. Walking, running with it, getting on a bike with leash in hand, any form of exercise will tire out the naughty dog as long as it clear. This is a permanent duty.
Try obedience training classes as well. You and your dog will spend time together and maybe that is something you both need as well.
Good luck

Pick up everything that your dog may try to chew or eat. Don't leave your dog unattended if this is a problem. They can eat things that can become lodged in their stomach or intestines that is a life threatening condition and requires surgery to remove the object. It is safest for your pet if it is crate trained and can be crated if no one is home to monitor the pet. I have seen everything from toys, socks, underwear, coins you name it removed from intestines of dogs.

first thing is make sure you are walking the dog on a regular basisi to ensure any extra energy is being used for good rather than evil. think about what gets you uptight... hunger, bordem, lack of attention etc. so walk it, play games with it, make sure its fed well and ensure it has anough to keeps itself occupied when you are busy. take it for monitored visits to your room, take some of its toys and some treats. sit and play with it and everytime it goes for one of you things make a loud short sound like "Ba" or "Agh" this will get the dogs attention back to you, when it comes back for its toys give it a treat and praise the dog (praising a dog is patting calmly from head to tail in one direction saying over a few times "good" and its name. getting the dog excited when praising will cause it to forget what its being praised for and concentrate on the fact that "my owner wants to play a game!") so keep it consistantly calm and hopefully if you keep this up everyday you should see results. if not seek advice froma vet or dog obedience school.
goodluck

You just have to really watch your dog. When it gets somethinhg, take it away and say no. Then give it something it can have like a dog toy. Sooner or later it will learn what is off limits. You must stay consistent though or you'll confuse your dog.

i don't give dogs free rein in the house until they earn it. I use a tie down and their "space" with a toy box next to them. As I"m there to supervise them, they get to go "free" in the house. I watch what they do so they get the hang of whats ok and whats not. if they are in trouble, they usually just run back to their "safe" place and stare at me.
Takes time, but dogs are here and now. you catch them doing what you don't like when they are doing it, and immediately correct them and they learn pretty quickly.
Good luck!

He is bored. Everytime he gets something he is not supposed to have tell him NO and then give him his own toy. Takes time but will work. Remember you are his owner, he does not own you. Be patient especially if he is a pup they have short memories.

yes watch your dog and when he goes for something of yours, say no and put one of his toys in place eventually he should get the message when you are around, but when you are not there he will quicky forget the rules so either leave him outside or expect a mess when you return.

Watch your dog. When it goes to chew, tell it NO!, move it away and give a chew toy. It boils down to watch your dog and never let it happen.
