My neighbor is beside herself and needs help. She has a 6 month old yorkie mix and 6 year old dachshund.
The yorkie is sweet, smart and very high energy. She has had private obedience training. She gets long walks 3 times a day is crate trained and has lots of chew toys.
Lately she has started chewing the baseboards, doors and furniture. She does this while they are home. Usually while they are eating dinner or cooking or just relaxing. They each work part time but the puppy is only alone in her crate no more than 2-4 hours about 3 days a week. She was in tears tonight because she doesn’t know why the puppy has started doing this to such an extreme at this time. She has always liked to chew on things but not like this. She has chew treats and hard and soft chew toys.
I told my friend I would post her situation here and hopefully someone has dealt with a similar problem. She also plans to call the trainer for suggestions.
The puppy has been spayed, has all vaccines and recent vet check up was good.
Any positive suggestions would be appreciated.
