She is tearing things up because she is board. If you are gone for more than a few hours you cannot expect her to hold her pee and poop for longer than that. How many hours at a time are you leaving her alone? Are you taking her for walks or outside before you leave? You should not punish her for having accidents inside you house as this will accomplish nothing except that she will fear you. You need to use praise and attention when it comes to a puppy. If you are not able to give your little girl this them maybe it is time to give her to someone that will. I am not trying to judge you but at the same time, if you are not able to give love, praise and attention at this very young age she could very well never become the pet that you are hoping for. They do not just "get it" without a lot of time spent helping them "get it". |
This is exactly what I would have said too.
Please be patient. She's just a baby. Does she have any hard teething toys to chew on. Be sure she has some for when she's penned or crated. Mine always loved the rubber squeaky toys when they were teething. If you can't take jer outside to get her tired..at least give her a playtime workout.
And to repeat....if you don't have the time and patience..please give someone else a chance at giving her a happy well adjusted life, especially while she's still so young.
