Okay here it goes...

Mandie is 9 months old and has recently started chewing and distroying any type of paper she can find. When you can catch her and tell her to "Stop and Drop it" she just looks at you and runs... After 5 or so minutes of chasing her you can finnaly corner her and take it away. So then I put her in her little time out spot but she doesnt always stay there...she thinks its a game.

I dont know why she is doing this...never before have we had any problems. I'm wondering if it has something to do with her being home alone for a few hours in the day. It seems like she is trying to get back at us.. Because she crys and acts mopey when I leave her...I swear its not all day...just like 2-3 hours..

I dont know what to do... I am thinking about training classes at like petco or petsmart?? Are either of these a better place than the other??? Any suggestions????
