BingBlaze n Skyla Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 possible?? everytime i go out Skyla is immediately in my room looking for something of mine to chew on - this morning is was my fave pair of heels (my only black pair that i absolutely LOVE n they went with EVERYTHING n were really comfy) she knows my routine as its been the same since we got her nearly a year ago - wake up at half 5 get up get ready go work - back at 8/8:20ish take them for a walk then chill - then leave for my other job at 11:45 get home at 1:30ish - so its not like my routine has changed at all or anything - and its only when I leave! there could be a house full of people but if i go out - she chews stuff (my stuff) she doesnt do it with anyone else i never overly fuss her or make a big deal out of me going - she will OCCASIONALLY get a stroke - and i say bye n thats it i leave no fuss no hassle - and she KNOWS ill be back! short of getting a dog gate for my room (which i cant afford nor do i really want) i dunno what to do n i dunno why shes doing it before any1 says crate her - she cries for the first half hour / hour when shes put in there n my lil bros are obv still sleeping at 5:30am,ish but need to sleep cuz they have school help?

I'm betting with little brothers she may end up posting in the steam room that shes locked in her room Can you not give her something while your out? Or pop her into one of your bros rooms? Take her with you to work? I bet she would love that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staceybob Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sounds like she's got an attachment to you. It's almost like a rebellion bratty attitude of, well if you're going to leave me on my own, then I'm going to chew your stuff so you'll get annoyed and stop going away. On the other hand, are you the one that treats her the most in the house? She could associate your smell and possessions as toys and gifts and therefore could assume that the things in your room are hers when you're not there. I would try either a gate (make she it's a relatively high one else she'll be able to hop over it. Depending on your frame, you could set it up so as the gate is on as well as having the door closed (that's what I used to do). That way, it will be difficult to open your bedroom door, making the chances of her getting in, less likely. Bolts are ok, but it is an opportunity for your brothers to take advantage, and also if Blaze is anything like what my old dog Logan was like (which it sounds like he is), Blaze will find getting a bolt off no problem at all.
