LMAO! this reminds me of my puppy too! he had always been in the crate, until he started behaving realy well. we have just bought a new house too. the painters came the day before to do the finishing touches, n we left our dog out the day after. he was good the first day., bt the 2nd day he had scratched most of the inside of the door. we tried again, n he had made a hole through the wall!!! he also had lots of chews and toys and a bed in there. bascaily wat we did was buy this spray that dogs dont like, n spray it on the wall and the door, n whereever else u dont want him to bite. u can get these sprays at all pet shops im pretty sure, its an anti-chewing spray basically. my dog stoppped n hes been good. good luck 2 u!

Battersea dogs’ home does amazing work as does the Dogs’ Trust (formerly the National Canine Defence League). Good luck!!

Well stick to your routines, but I would practice leashes in the back yard at first and get it under control. I walk my puppies in the back yard. just laps around the yard and address anything that stresses them and correct any wrong behaviors and then after about a month in the back yard, depending on the puppy, they can graduate to walking in the street. It is easier to correct things in the back yard because if I have to drop leashes, it isn’t a big deal and I can correct things and not have to worry about traffic or other drama. It would also be a good way to practice recall. Each of my dogs responds to different things, so you are going to have to get a leash and practice ways to get him back in the house. Call his name, whistle, clicker. my dogs and the ducks come if I burp, (it doesn’t have to make sense, just work) One of my dogs comes if I play a hallmark music card. I have a key chain that makes funny noise. One comes for a toy tied to a stick. you just have to practice and watch what he responds to and go from there.

my dog use to chew the corners on the skirting board we managed to stop this by smearing mustard on the skirting board and giving her a rawhide bone to gnaw on as well

If he is not very good ON the lead then no way is he ready to be taken off lead yet!!
You need to teach him recall and make sure he does it PERFECTLY on a long lead. Only when he knows the heel and come command and obeys them without hesitation can he be taken off lead.
If he runs away from you, you call him and he comes back. That is the way it works. If he does not know the command to come then he can’t do it.
If he is not good with cats or dogs then i would focus on having him off lead in places without these animals.

Hi there maybe you should try bitter spry there not expensive and not harm full to your puppy that might stop her biting the wall. But don’t think that will work with the scratching the best way to stop her would be to catch her in the act timing is every thing. Maybe you could pretend to go out and wait to see if she does it. If you catch her doing it, tell her no! firmly and punish her by spraining her with water on her or a loud noise. hope that helps

Is he aggressive to other dogs a if he is i wouldn’t let him off his lead till that has been sorted or you could end up with him attacking another dog and you could be landed in alot of trouble. I would advice going to dog trainning . They can help with his anti-socail behaviuor and help train him to come back when off hs lead.
