[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read all the posts. It sounds like OP has not trained her dog. Dogs take a lot of time and attention, especially when they are super-energetic puppies. And their puppyhood lasts well past the cute, fluffy "puppy" appearance, usually until around age 2, when they calm down. I have a 1.5 year old puppy who still destroys things. I keep her crated when we're not at home, and when we are at home, we use gates and close doors to rooms where we know she will find something to destroy. She's a DOG. Dogs like to chew when they are young. In a few months, she'll calm down and stop this. I've had several dogs, and getting through the puppy phase is very difficult, but when it's over, they are wonderful, perfect dogs, as long as they are properly, consistently trained from the very beginning and given the right food, right amount of exercise, toys, love and mental stimulation. Dogs are wonderful companions and members of the family. The naysayers on this thread have never bonded with a dog for its entire life. [/quote]
