Many folks use "time outs" when the dog is CAUGHT doing something wrong. If you don't catch them until after the act, then don't do anything. Never ever smack your pups or yell and scream. They just don't get it. Being firm and stern will work so much better. They really only want to please you and will suffer more if they think you are mad. But over doing it only makes them frightened.

I think you need to start over from square one and begin potty training again. They are definitely at the backsliding age. You may want to consider confining them to one area to save having to pick poo and pee up all over the house.

BELLY BANDS are an absolute necessity!! Just about all the YT retailers carry them. And if they are pooing too, you may want to consider diapers until you know that you can trust them again.

As far as chewing is concerned, again, confining them to one area when you cannot be with them will cut this problem. Also supplying them with chew toys they enjoy will help. You have to rotate the toys often, as well. Dogs get bored sometimes playing with the same things.

Good luck!
