I have consulted a trainer and tried the crate training thing but so far I haven't found a crate that she can not get out of.. so its been quite difficult. I think she is just too smart for her own good. She is fully trained otherwise everything you can imagine.. obedience, potty trained to go outside and in a special litter box area as well that I made with pea gravel, she is trained to know what good person, ok person, and bad person is so she treats them each accordingly of how much I trust the people.. I can even tell her to go get a specific item or turn off the lights using the light switch all thanks to clicker training.... but it just seams not to work with are chewing problem.. I've tried the clicker thing but that is just for good so I made up a sound I make like ehh for bad and even that doesn;t work for this..I put sour apple spray on things pepper sauce tabasco sauce even boundry to keep her away all together and nothing works.. seems she is expressing herself letting me know that she doesn't like it when I leave her alone..

and I can't seem to keep her locked out of the house cus well I haven't found anything to secure the doggy door yet.. if I can then she is good outside while I'm gone. But currently I have this doggie door I installed into my sliding glass door and it comes with a cover that locks to keep the dog inside or outside but she somehow learned herself how to pull the pin and pull the door up at the same time to let herself in when I put the lock on the outside.. if I put it on the inside she doesn't get in but she tears up the plastic flap that is $40 to replace .. so now I have a lock on both sides of the door .. but any ideas how to lock the outside one so she doesn't get to the plastic flap and eat it?
