We have a 7 1/2 month old female who is just driving us insane. Lately she hasnt been wanting to eat her dog food and as soon as you let her out of her crate goes on a sniffing rampage for crumbs or scraps all over the house. We have a 1 1/2 baby boy who of course drops crumbs, etc on the floor and our dog just has to have them. It has gotten so bad that she has learned to hop onto the dinning room chairs and eventually get up to the table where she will then pull food off the table or just sit there and eat it. She has also managed to climb up onto my son's highchair where we will find her on top of the feeding tray licking and eating his leftover food. The garbage can and garbage itself has been also attacked. One or more of the above happens all day long and its getting to the point where I just am loosing my patience with it and so is everyone else in the house.

When I first caught her doing any of the above I would just say bag girl and send her to her crate and she would put her head down and go in and she would be a bit better for the rest of the day. Then I had to move up to spraying her with water. Then to sraying her with apple/water mixture. I have even swatted her in the butt with a fly swater. Nothing is working and its getting really out of control. I cant let her out of the crate at all by herself or else something is getting attacked. I also cant be with her on a leash 24/7 either.

Today she was found on top of the highchair and when told bad girl and went to get her off she tried to bite me and then jumped off and ran behind our couch. I couldnt get to her so i had to move it out of the way and she would just move further back and so on till i finally had someone help corner her in.

My family is really getting tired of the problems with this puppy and wants me to get rid of her already. We dont even get to enjoy her anymore as she doesnt sit on anyones lap or play nice everything has to be a rough play and or she is doing something bad. She has been spending a lot of time in the crate lately and its sad.

I feel really bad and dont know what else to do I am at my witts end! Can someone help!
