Destructive Behavior in a Siberian Mix
21 Jan 2008

Kelly asked:

My dog is part Siberian Husky/part shephard...She is very well behanved.  However, when me and my husband leave to go anywhere, and she's left alone (either in the cage or not in the cage), she tears things up, she finds ways to move the cage when in it, to destroy things, and she messes all through her cage, or on the floor if she's not in the cage.  This is the ONLY time she does this!  When we're here, she's perfectly normal and doesn't chew up anything and doesn't mess in the house....do you have any ideas or suggestions for this MAJOR problem?

Puggle Greeting a Bit Difficult to Take

Kathy Asked:

Hi,
My puggle is 1 year old. He's pretty well behaved except whenever
anyone (us or friends)comes in the front door he bites them in the
crotch. (Just the crotch, no where else). Needless to say, this is
embarrassing as well as painful. We have tried yelling at him, smacking
him on the butt,or putting him outside. Any suggestions?
