My older dog does this on occasion. She's been out and about in the house since she was a year old and she is almost 2 years now. She randomly tears stuff up while I'm gone. I come home, say her name is a VERY disappointing tone, and proceed to pick up what she destroyed while ignoring her...

Thank you for your replies, I will start to work on that today. Hopefully she'll get better because I feel awful leaving her and then coming home to a soaked puppy!

My 3 month I believe has some separation anxiety. I have read about Comfort Zone and was wondering if anyone else has heard anything about it or has tried it themselves. Whenever I leave her alone, even for less than 30 minutes, I come home and she is SOAKED, her legs, face, and neck. It is...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will feed her in there this evening and try to play with her more in her kennel. Hopefully she will realize it's not a place to be afraid of or hate. Thanks again.

I'll try locking them both up in the kitchen tomorrow and see how they do. I have been leaving her kennel door open and praising her when she goes in there on her own. Would it help if I fed her in there? Currently I feed her treats in there, so at least she has to get in to get a treat...

We left her in the kitchen the first week we had her, she destroyed it. She got onto the kitchen table, somehow, and opened up a cupboard and somehow knocked dishes out of the sink (haven't figured that one out yet). She goes crazy when she is left in the kitchen, that's why we bought the...

Another part to her barking, she has only been crated maybe 5 times, we were keeping her elsewhere and it didn't work out so we bought her the crate. I don't know much about it, but would it help if I crated her for short periods while I was home and praised her when she is being good? I...

I'll try leaving her with something more exciting tomorrow while I'm gone. I was hoping that she would realize it wasn't working and stop. We'll see. I was gone for an hour earlier today and I recorded her and she barked pretty much the entire time.

My other dog is left out in the house. My puppies crate is right next to my other dog's bed in the living room. My other dog has free run of the house but typically stays in the living room on the couch or her bed. I think she might feel left out or abandoned but I don't know what to do to...

Welcome to BoxerWorld. This site has been a life saver for me. I am also from KS, living with my new boxer puppy.

I have a 3 month old boxer girl. She is crated at the most 4 hours a day. I or my roommate are with her the rest of the time. Our neighbors told us that when we are gone that she is barking excessivly and that they can hear her upstairs. We recorded her while we were gone and she does bark...
