[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hello everyone this is OP, thank you for all the comments. My husband is in charge of training the dog. He goes to puppy socialization classes and training classes during the weekend. But the dog seriously chews everything. I just don’t have time to watch a dog while I’m working. I already have to take my breaks to excercise it. As soon as my husband is home he takes the dog out and he watches it, but he has to be on top of the dog at all times because it will chew walls, carpets, shoes.  This is even after my husband takes it for an hour long walk. [/quote]

Can you set up the puppy play pen next to you while you are working?  Give him some nylabones or frozen kongs.  He will learn to settle down near you and won't be able to get into anything you don't want him to chew, and you can get your work done.  We have a chewing puppy as well, but keep the puppy in my husband's office while he works.  It's a contained area, and we keep it supplied with chew toys that are safe for him.

Otherwise I agree you are doing enough.  I would definitely look into the play pen idea though, even if it's not set up near you while you are working.  You could do the crate in the morning and the play pen later in the day to mix it up.[/quote]
