I could kill Betsy right now.
She is crated when I go out for more than half an hour because she cannot be trusted and my house is open plan. This has been the routine from 12 weeks (she is 11 months now).
The little madam decided to throw a strop as I was leaving the house (from the crate) for the first time in months. Decided I would do some seperation training with her later and went on my way.
Got home from my mams and she had obviously continued the strop for some time and somehow pulled the crate door inwards so it is jammed shut. Luckily the crate has another door so we are now using that one because I cant get the other one to shift.
We moved from the disaster crate area to the backdoor as always. Opened the door and went out for a fag... about 30 seconds later I had to grab her tail to stop her doing one under the fence. ergh.
Went out for a walk and pulled like a train the whole time (normally just the first few mins which is bad enough!)
When we got back in OH called so I sat and talked to him on the phone for about an hour while B was bouncing about with a squeaky toy.
Got off the phone and she had destroyed a pair of socks and shredded some joddies from the washing basket
She hasn't chewed anything since she was about 6 months!


Forgot to say, she hasn't hurt herself on the crate and is doesnt look like she has eaten any of the clothing.... just ripped it up and left it in a huuge pile.
What happened to my nice little dog?
