My dog Scruffs is great. He is so sweet and loving. Wouldn't trade him for the world. He is a very stubborn dog and does anything if he thinks he can get away with it. Here are some examples: he chews on underwear, he chews on pants, he chews on socks, he chews on post its, he chews on pens and pencils, he licks all bowls clean whether they are on the floor, table, desk, or counter, he chews open food/treat packages if I forget to close the cabinet (my fault). Oh, some more. He chews on sponges. He chews apart rubber door stoppers. He likes swim suits too!!
He jumps onto my bed (where he is not allowed), and then JUMPS into the exercise pen and then eats whatever dog is in there's food. I go looking for him and find him in the pen. Scruffers = trouble maker.
I'm not really sure what to do. He has dogs to play with. He has a cat to chase him (who actually chases him around the house). He has loofas, kongs, carrot squeaky toys, pig squeaky toys, plush toys, rope chew toys, puppy chew toys, and balls. He behaves perfectly fine when I'm around but as soon as he thinks he can get away with it he goes into eat mode. He gets over 2 hours of exercise daily to parks, creeks, lakes, down the rail road tracks, etc... he now doesn't even want to go on walks anymore but I make him anyways.
He is 21 months old (almost 2 years). He also goes pee/poo in the house if I don't let him out when he decides he wants to go, but he hasn't had an accident in a few weeks. I don't think he'll ever learn to be fully potty trained but I don't know what else to do but give him treats when he goes outside. I clean the spots with a steam cleaner. He doesn't pee/poo in his crate and goes in his crate during the night/when I leave.
He is MUCH better than before so I guess we are making progress in the jumping/peeing/craziness. He is a lot calmer now than before. Help please
