Third, it is a puppy's nature to tear up things. You are responsible in puppy-proofing the house, so that if she gets around those things that she cannot get ahold of something that can harm her.
I stated that they were hung on the frigerater. She climbed out of the xpen I bought and knocked it down to chew it up. It was paper, trust me she did more harm to it. I have "puppy proofed the house" I bought an expensive xpen and an expensive babygate that hooks into the wall. She got out of the xpen, not the kitchen. I never had this problem with my other dogs. This is the first house dog I have ever owned as well my family had always kept their dogs outside. Bailey never was as "driven" to chew things up as Brandy is.
