My stepmom is getting pretty angry with Leather.......Leather is really smart so she likes to be a naughty girl, and when Kristine (my stepmom) gets home, Leather has done some pretty bad things...
So far, she's jumped on the counter and smashed very single glass Kristine owns, opened the door to where the trash is and eaten everything in it and scattered everything all over the house, and when Kristine came home for her lunch break and let Leather outside, Leather opened the bolt on the gate and ran around the neighborhood for a long time on a little joy ride
I told Kristine to crate train her, but she doesn't want to, because whenever she is in a crate, she barks and whines, and the people who own the house told her that if she barks that Kristine has to get rid of her..
So she said that she is going to get a dog house, get a better lock for the gate and leave Leather outside. I think it's a pretty good idea. Leather can jump the gate, but she hasn't done that fpr a while so I'm not sure if she actually will...

Any ideas? Opinions?
