my puppy is normally a pretty well behaved dog.i got him about 3 months ago from somebody else who didnt want him anymore cause he was getting big and was horribly mean to her cat.i have worked with him on the cat thing because i have cats all i have to say now is leave the cat alone. he is about 5 months and very smart, i know he is teething so i have just about every kind of toy, bone treat i can get for him. i have another dog( 9 years old now) and she was never this destructive. in the last 2 days he has chewed up just about every pair of my shoes ( the door was shut and he got it open somehow to that room) and has taken to trying to rip apart the sofa chair that we kept from our old set for them to sleep onif they so chose to wich is the other dogs favorite spot, we got leather couches and they are not allowed on those. we take them for walks and we have a fenced in yard. we cant leave them alone in the fenced in yard to play because he jumps the fence which is about 4 to 5 feet high to go looking for the neighbourhood kids to play with. he was really doing good with the outdoor training then all of a sudden he has started to go pee or poo as soon as we bring him back in. we scold him then put him back outside. i dont live in an area where i can go to obedience school with him ( closest ones are 45 mins away) and i work evenings when they classes normally would be , i dont know what to do anymore and well getting rid of him is not an option this is his forever home.
