[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1179801, member: 73592"] Right, got a couple of suggestions. A] When I'm tiring her out before leaving her alone, DON'T take Beli (3 yr old) with me - theory being that maybe when she gets bored, if he's tired he won't want to play and occupy her. Feel mean though, but it's doable. B] Extend (and double down on) the "stay" training. Pair it with "Settle" not just "Sit". Extend it to being behind a closed door, not just round a corner, and for being out of sight for lots of seconds, then minutes; not just out of sight for a few seconds. Basically training her not to worry about not knowing where we are, rather than not crossing the road when I'm checking behind a parked car. C] Set up some CCTV system at home, so that we can get a better idea of her behaviour leading up to the destruction - or maybe a face-time so that she can hear our voice (potentially shouting at her) as well. Seems extreme, but then, so does removing everything she might possibly destroy. B] Makes the most sense to me, and she is the worst we've had at training to "stay" by this age. In fairness, she's probably the worst we've been with in terms of devoting the hours of training on it - because she's also the first we haven't taken through puppy school (having done it 3 times, and the school moving further away), so we've been lazier with her than the others - which is 100% our fault.
