My parents, my siblings and I went to Florida for 1 week and we left our pets in the house. My boyfriend was supposed to come here everyday and take care of the animals. We basically gave him the house for a whole week to do whatever he wanted with it. The only thing he wasnt suppossed to do was to let my dog lose around the house. My dog is known for chewing things up when she's alone and WE SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM TO KEEP THE DOG INSIDE MY ROOM he didnt listen and the dog destroyed the sofas, the arm rest has a big hole and the pillows are scratched. I tried to sew it up last night but its obvious!! my parents are goiung to take my poor dog back to the shelter!!! I rescued my sophie and I dont want to take her back!! she's a chihuahua mix and i love her to death... what can i do???? and what should i do with my boyfriend???
get a new boyfriend=] just kidding. but get a new couch. tell your parents you wont let ur dog destroy anything again. but seriosly if u don't wana loose your dog learn how to train it. it shuldnt be kept in just ur room anyway. you can find tons of books or websites on how to train a dog. there are even articles on how to train specific breeds.
Sarah, this may well be not completely separation tension. feels like the organic exuberance of a youthful canines exploring his environment and that does mean chewing.....additionally possibly some tension approximately being crated to boot as further tension whilst left on my own. a lifelike and affected person guidance attitude to handle all 3 issues might help nevertheless be arranged for an prolonged(ish) term challenge. Is crating actual mandatory. no remember if it somewhat is then possibly time spent attempting to get him used to spending time in there on a “little and usually” attitude might help. A minute or 2 at a time whilst he can see you and outfitted it up. Then go away for a very short on a similar time as so he can’t see you and build that factor up additionally. provide him a number of his well-known toys on a similar time as he’s in there so he has commonplace issues he can play with and entertain himself so he’s occupied. optimistically over the years he’s get familiar with all of it and think of not something of being crated for longer. To handle any everyday separation tension there are any type of issues to attempt and see which inserts guess on your canines. a number of those are gradually build up the time he’s on my own from some seconds upwards. not making a fuss of him till now you go away and once you come, blend up leaving and return cases. Come and pass with the aid of distinctive doorways if accessible. %. up your keys or placed on your value (issues he would many times go alongside with being left on my own) yet then don’t go away. blend it up so ultimately he’ll see it as no enormous deal. Toys and treats for entertainment and the radio on for “business enterprise.” a good number of trial and mistake in touch. I wish you success and want you may resolve it.
Wow Well it is obvious you cannot trust your boyfriend with a simple Task so simple as to baby sit a little dog Hmm I mean Hello if this dog was left alone long enough to destroy 2 sofas Wow I think Your Pup and Boyfriend are in desperate need of some Obedience Training they both need to attend and as for how to deal with your parents Well you have no Idea what the cost of a sofa is I just paid $3500.00 for my sectional sofa so I can imagine there Fury when they seen there furniture I mean really look @ it from there point they have worked long and hard to be able to afford that and now your dog has destroyed it I think I would be Very Very up set also In My opinion the dog would go I am so sorry to say that as I am a extreme Dog lover but if you can not control it then it would have to go I think I would have put it in a boarding Kennel just to be on the safe side Good luck on this one Respectfully Yours Anne
