puppy

man it just drives me crazy my little pup finds anything she can to either chew on or eat.as i sit at the computer i look back at her and she is shredding a pillow on the futon. cannot wait till this stage is over it always drives me nutzzzzzzz!

 

we have those but we kinda get anoyed real quick because it becomes a game to jump on the couch and drop it on the wood floor witch is pretty loud when it hits

 

sounds like you need to spend time teaching the pup what it can and cannot do......takes alot of time and patience..............use small treats to praise.

 

I found the best way to keep a puppy from doing the most damage is to make sure they are tired EVERY day!!! I made sure of that and no more puppy destruction problems. Hell she barely chews on her chew toys now. Keep them tired and you'll have less of a headache.

 

But dont over work a pup.. they are still growing and devopling. Over working is a good way to hurt them. nice walks, a bit of play but nothing too heavey or over exerting.

Sounds like you need to get your pup into some puppy classes. Obedience and puppy classes help teach the owner how to train their pup ..

Also may I suggust when you are busy with the computer or other things and cannot watch the pup, put her in a kennel or crate!!! Put a treat or favorite toy (kongs stuffed with cheese or peanut butter work wonderfully) in there so she doesnt view it as a punishment. She will be safe and not destroying your house. Its not cruel to put her in for short periods of time.. she may whine at first but thats where the kong comes in (placed in the crate BEFORE her..not when she starts whinning or crying)
