scratching the carpet

[sderosia]

Thanks everybody for the suggestions.

I tried putting objects on the spots she scratches this weekend and she left them alone. She doesn't lie in any of these spots so I don't think she is nesting. She is crate trained but since she has been 2 she doesn't use her crate anymore, she sleeps on a dog bed in our son's room. She has recently had a bad bout of hotspots and I think part of the problem is that she is itchy too.

She is so sweet and I think she may be getting the message with us putting things on the carpet. I hope so. Once or twice on a spot wasn't a big deal, but it was starting to unravel a bit.
