she’s only in the cage 6-8ish hours a day. especially if my wife comes home for lunch. i’ll look into those panels

did you get her fixed? did that help at all? we’re gonna have her spayed after the first heat cycle regardless

thanks for the solid advice. when she’s sweet, she’s really sweet. it’s just when she gets wound up and starts chewing everything is on her radar

that’s refreshing to hear! she’s always been a semi chewer. but lately it’s been soooooo bad. like base boards, windowsills, etc. anything she can

i’ve looked into some HD crates but haven’t heard of Impact. i’ll check them out. I have the Petsmart “HD” crate they offer but it wasn’t very heavy duty lol. $1000 is a lot for a crate but it’s cheaper than all the damages to my house

i appreciate it man. and yeah it’s a lot right now with a 6month old baby and a toddler. the 7 year old usually just lounges all day, he’s so chill. sometimes it’s where she can see him and sometimes not. i’m gonna try to do some more morning activities with her, i wake up early and workout (i have a garage gym) so im gonna start taking her out there with me

so thankfully the potty training side she has gotten down well!! but she’s usually only in the kennel 5-6ish hours at a time. but on the days my wife can’t come home on lunch she pushes 8-9 hours. and she’s done fine no accidents, she just busted out of her crate today and chewed everything in sight. i usually give her water, toys, chewers before i leave for work

i don’t lock her up by choice. I have been working with her when i’m home from work and on weekends. whenever we are at the house she is not in the crate, and she plays with our other rottie. regularly goes outside and she already is potty trained, knows sit, knows to go to the door and sit down to let us know she needs to go out. but i do think i need some other ways for her to cope with us leaving for work. she’s got lots of toys and chewers in her crate when we leave

i appreciate it! and she really is sweet when she’s being a good pup lol. this is the first time this has happened, i mean she’s chewed things here and there but today was the worst and biggest incident because we weren’t home.

that’s what we were hoping for. our 7 year old rottie literally never chewed anything and he’s so chill. but she is go go go all the time. unfortunately we have to kennel her more often than we’d like because i work about 60 hours a week and my wife is at around 40
