Ok I have posted questions about my silky terrier before and people say I need to have patience and or find a new owner... Neither of those things are gonna happen right now I know I need to have patience which I feel that Ive been having and its running low and being pregnant isn't making it easier its the stress I guess so yeah I have it just need to find a way to not get so stressed. And im not getting rid of her because ive spent so much time and money on her to just give up plus shes my dog Ive had her for over a year its not that easy to give her up.... Ok so heres the issue besides the chewing and biting and hyper issues shes becoming too hard to handle. I mean shes getting too smart I need some tips and training advice because obviously were not doing something right so its time for a change in her training... Shes my first puppy so Im still learning what to do and how puppies work.... Im upset right now because I came home and find that she has found a way to escape from her kennel she tipped it to its side turned the latch which caused it to slide down and then she pushed the door open at least that's what it looks like she did... How did she figure this out omg are they that smart? anyways she pooped on the carpet and peed and chewed up some stuff.... We took her potty before we left and were gone for a few hours though... I thought she was potty trained but I guess not.... ugh she hasn't even been eating for some reason she picks at her bowl then tips it over so I don't even know why she pooped....She also throws up alot im sure its from the chewing cuz she likes to chew cloth material and eats it.... sorry so long just needed to vent and get the details out so my question is what do I do how can I properly train her....
 
Hey!
Okay, when you are leaving for a few hours or even an hour, put a videa camera in the room where the dog's kennel is and watch what he/she does. You can then discover why he poops and pees in that spot, how and why he gets out of the cage, and how he opens the door. It will help you out a lot. I saw this one show, "me or The Dog" and the host lady Victoria put hidden videa cameras in the house and saw that the dog opened the fridge and took food out! I was like, OMG HORRIBLE OWNERS AND SMART DOG! But, in your case being pregnant and all, you aren't a bad owner. I have a 3 year old chihuah/poodle mix and she isn't potty trained and she poops on the floor literally every day! URGHHHH! Her name's Tinkerbell, and she's soooo annoying! I hope I helped! More questions? email me.

Well I would try keeping her entertained with kong's maybe whenever she's in the kennel so she doesn't try to escape, I would also try leaving maybe a radio or Tv on whenever you leave the house because then she won't feel the need to get out and she will think someone is home. Maybe take her for walks 3 times a day every day and that should help keep her energy level down. I hope you can find something that will help you and best of luck!
 
were you pregnant when you got her, or did you just get pregnant a few months ago, if you did she might be reacting to your changes, some dogs do that, they react a bad way to there owners pregnancy, and some dogs are just sweet angels, seeing as your dog is a girl, then that's probably why she is reacting so badly, my god sister has a male shih tzu, and males tend to be mommas boys, and don't do anything bad to make there owners mad, little girl doggies are tougher, and yeah she can be that smart to tilt her kennel and open the latch, you might try playing with her more, get her more chew toys, get her new toys, she might feel jealous and neglected, god imagine how she will act when you bring your baby home, try to play with her to the point where she gets tired enough to go in her kennel and go to sleep when she is in there always works with my shih tzu mix with chihuahua
 
Have you tried taking her to a professional trainer who can help you work through the issues? Obviously you are unable to cope on your own. It's time. You'll have to spend the time and money or you will forever be miserable and with a baby coming, it will only get worse. The dog may potentially see the baby as a "threat" to it's environment and start behaving even worse when the baby is born. I don't necessarily mean that it would harm the baby (are you willing to take that chance???) but you need to nip this in the bud now! GET PROFESSIONAL HELP!!!!
Good luck!
