Dogs like to chew. Did she chew that down, or rip it down? Do you give her things to chew on during the day or just leave her.

Basic dog training is $109 for 6 weeks at Petsmart.

I had a dog for 10 years....my wife's. He was an ornamental dog. Didn't play, hunt, work or anything else. I missed him when he was gone. I really wasn't a dog person but missed him when he was gone. *I* picked out a new one (a lab mix) and have really bonded...they are very smart and loyal when you spend time with them. I got a second dog a couple of weeks ago. I've become a dog person, they are interesting creatures.
