okay now that is not okay

Now I know what Matilda's face looks like when she has been scolded.

Yep, that carpet was intact three weeks ago. Then she chewed a hole in it, and it turned into one giant chew toy.

The books, though! I can't move them all out of her reach, and I can't just accept the depredations. We are going to have to learn some rules around here.

I have to admire the giant chew toy right next to the chewed carpet.

Ha, yes, she is not chewing books because she has nothing that it is okay to chew!

Maybe it's her ACD heritage?

Our Lucy was A Lot of Work and it was worth it in the end.

Is crating a possibility?

I do put her in her crate at night and when I leave the house, but she hates it, so I don't use it when I am at home and awake.

Yeah, our girl loathed her crate so much she took it apart.

As I'm sure you're aware, the key to keeping most dogs happy (and in particular, ACDs) is give them a job! Tire them out! It's a challenge.
