Well you know you COULD cage the dog while you are gone. She will mature and the problems will end as long as she is trained and properly disciplined.
Well it’s funny you mentioned this.
When I first got Jackie she was a real mess. She tore the trash up, crapped all over the place, went wild.
I began putting her in a crate and after a few months she was much calmer. I’ve only had Jackie for eight months, got the puppy because...well Jackie is very sociable and my daughter’s dog had puppies....
So I left Jackie lose in the house and she’s now wonderful.
As for Blanca, I put her in the crate too. Still considering doing it again. I’m thinking you were chastising me for letting my dogs run wild or something. Nobody’s more devoted to her pets than me.
Way I figure, Blanca’s going after food. Even when I’m home she goes after food. Best for me to figure out what she’s going to get in to with me home or not.
Also she sits under the cat feeding area....I have three cats....and waits for bits of food to all on the floor to her waiting mouth.
Of course I had to re-arrange the cat feeding area until the cats must now dine at the top of their tree climbing pole.
My house is pretty much animal proof but I’d never have considered a puppy so hungry that she would break into a Tupperware storage container.
Jackie would never consider such a thing but don’t think Jackie’s all that innocent. She joins right in.
By now I’m almost animal proof but Blanca might see the inside of that crate again.
