It seems like your pup has become immune to so many training tricks- what a sneaky little puppy!
I just got a package of 3 dog bones from WalMart for like $2. One of them had spikes/bumps on it which I think will help to massage the dog's gums as they are teething. I think one of these would really tire your dog's jaw out. There is also a product I found on the PetsMart webpage. Under the teething toys section, there is a round toy that you can wet and freeze and that also helps with teething issues. If your pup isn't teething, it sounds like boredom. There are some battery-operated toys that move on their own that you can get from PetsMart to entertain your dog for a while, or you could try to walk your puppy at the time when they're most destructive. (if that's not when you're at work, taking kids to lessons, etc.) If you tire your pup out with a walk or some other excersize, she won't have the energy to be destructive. Definitely confine her whenever you can't be there watching her, though. (I know- it's easier said than done!)
Good luck. It will get better! And you're definitely not alone. You'll look back in a few years and laugh at what a terror your baby used to be! My sister got a beagle right before she went away to college, so it was up to my mom and me to raise her. My mom had just redone the entire kitchen (new wallpaper, table, cupboards, etc.), and among many other things, Belle chewed a hole through the wall one day while I was at school and my mom was working. She's 6 now and we still remind my sister about how she had to have the cute puppy, left for school 2 months later, and my mom and I got to deal with all of the puppy stuff! We joke that God knew exactly what he was doing when he designed puppies- if they weren't so cute, their lifespan would be significantly shorter!! |
