Thank you for your comments. I don't want her penned up all day! It is just that she is like a little toddler who is constantly getting into everything. It is exasperating, and admittedly it is just becoming easier to put her back in her pen than to chase her around all day. I will try to take her on more walks outside to let her get her energy out without having to worry as much about what she is getting into. I know that she is a good girl who wants to obey, but I've never had a puppy before and I know I need a method of discipline for bad behaviour that will be effective, for her own safety. People keep telling me to roll up a newspaper, or flick her nose, and I'm not going to do that! So thank you for those whose criticism has been with a desire to be constructive. Perhaps she just needs more outlet for her energy. I will try to keep her tethered to me, also, and maybe it is time for those puppy obedience classes! |
