Granny's gone and done it again

Larry, she know she is doing wrong. She runs to Roberts room where he is sleeping.

She may not know she is doing wrong. She knows you are mad at her. There is a difference.

When we crate a dog, we think of it as putting them in jail. But to a dog, a crate is their den, their safe place. Chewing can be a sign of anxiety, not just boredom. The crate may be the best answer. She does not need to be there all day. But it would not hurt to put her in there when you see her START to chew something she shouldn't. Tell her NO. Take it away and give her something she is allowed to have and put her in the crate for an hour. It is her safe place and now she has a toy.

Oh, and when you take something away, PRAISE her for giving it to you. If she does not want to give it up, exchange it for something she wants more. A toy, a ball, etc. But don't forget to praise.

ok, thank you

Toss a little treat into the crate and tell her "kennel." When she goes in after it, say "good girl!" And close the gate behind her. Dogs like treats and praise. It should not be a punishment to go into the crate.
