[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had our dog for almost a year, and she's about 2 years old.  When we got her, we always put her in her crate when we left the house and at night while sleeping.  She was still very much like a puppy and would chew on everything, so it was necessary.  [b]We also felt it was good for her to feel "secure" and have her own space.[/b]

We have always put some treats into the crate when we put her in there [b]so that she knows it's a nice place to be and that it's a good thing to go into her crate.[/b]

How you want a pet to perceive something and how the pet actually perceives it are not the same thing.

You need to work with a trainer because this is a dog who needs to be out of the crate. I'm assuming that you don't have her in the crate every time you leave the room, so she can go some amount of time without chewing things that aren't meant to be chewed. The question is how to increase that time -- lots of exercise, Green Apple for booby-trapping, spying and catching her mid-transgression?[/quote]
