My boxer acting out help

[MyCrazyAllie]

I have a 8 month old female boxer she is sweet as can be and behave good until my daughter or husband is home. My daughter in collage so she only home on breaks and my husband works out of town 3 weeks out of a month. When they come home she chews there stuff and goes to the bathroom in the house and just don't listen. I don't think it a jealous issue because when they are home she by there side 24 hours a day. I think she knows they are going to leave and that why she acting out. Am I right not sure and is there any thing to do. She does have separation issues to. Thanks

It's probably safe to assume the stuff she is chewing ISN'T available to her when they are gone, hence.....it isn't her fault necessarily that she is getting to it. It is THEIR fault for leaving things for her to get to.
All involved need to be "trained" to:
A). Not leave anything out they don't want destroyed
and
B). Teach her to "leave-it" and "drop-it".

She needs to be taught what is hers and what isn't as well as they need to be taught they can't leave things out that may be desirable to her when they are home.

As far as going potty in the house when they are home.....
They might not be as adept at her signals for needing to go, things may be a little more hectic with others in the home and you are more busy dealing with them to notice her like you normally do without their presence. At 8 months of age it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that she isn't 100% potty trained. She might be nearly there but even small distractions (at her age) can easily have them take a step back in potty training.
