Need Help with a behavior issue with my chow
Posted: Tue Nov 19, 2013 7:01 am
My Chow is about a year and a half old… Recently she began chewing up things in my house ONLY AT NIGHT!
We take everything off the floor now before bed and last night she chewed my daughter American girl doll and a pair of glasses that were on the kitchen table. I am still scratching my head as to how she got it. She paces most of the night!!!! She also started pooping in the house at night… not every night but once a week. We got her last december and none of this happened until the 3 or 4 months ago!
She has bones and chew toys everywhere.
Heres the thing during the day she chews nothing at all, we can leave anything out… even a trash bag… she touches nothing. Only while we sleep. She was never crated and I really feel bad doing that. I will if i have to!
As for activity… she went for a 3 mile walk in the A.M yesterday… then at noon went to dog park for 45 minutes.. afternoon had a doggie play date where her and a neighbors puppy ran for a hour… then two short walks 1/2 mile. That is her activity most days, She gets plenty of Attention and excersize!!!! She is never alone for more than an hour or two. I JUST DON"T GET IT!!!!!
Any advice will be SO APPRECIATED!!!!!
