We do not keep Carlos in his crate when we are at work because get himself out easily but he does really well and we had not had any problems in the past two months. This week has just been a nightmare with him.

About a week ago he tore the edge of my carpet up downstairs so we put a baby gate up to keep him upstairs problem solved.

We have all hardwood upstairs so he has no carpet to chew on so he decided to eat the dirt out of my plants and spread it all over the house. So someone told me to put pepper in the soil and I did and he left it alone. Then yesterday my husband came home and Carlos some how got over the baby gate and when at it with my carpet downstairs.

I was so mad so we stuck him in the spare room to punish him. I really don't know what else to do with him.

I know he is teething and still a puppy but it just seems like he is being overly bad lately. I am not really sure what to do with him We a getting him neutered soon and then I was going to take him to some training classes. I really hope that helps. My husband was ready to kill him
