My Mini Pin Pin still poops in house&chews everything he's a rescuse dog-3 mo's ago & breaks out of his crate.

Adopted him 3 mo'sago he's now 1 yr old, I need HELP before I have to give him away he's eaten carpet, phones, shoes even his food bowls, after he dumps the food out. He's very sweet and non agressive and gets along well with other animals.

I also have a Min Pin...she is a chewer. Don't get discouraged with her. You have to train her not to do these things. Make sure she has plenty of toys to play with, they are a very high strung breed. As for the pooping, never put a dogs nose in it, that is not how you train an animal. Be sure to take her out, and praise her when she does her business outside (give her a treat etc.). The food issue, mine does it too, I have no clue why they do this, but I switched the brand and she no longer dumps it out. These dogs feel the need to have alot of attention, and if they do not get it...well they become destructive. Good luck with her, and remember to be patient, they are a hard breed to train.
Reply:Time to pay for a professional dog obedience class. Its the only way here. You cute little dog will come back to you obedient.
Reply:get a new crate one of the ones the airlines use. and train him. if food bowls are stainless steel he cant eat them. when you catch him misbehaving discipline him. say in a very firm voice "NO!" and clap your hands for emphasis. this dog needs constant supervision.
Reply:Does this sound familiar...A dog with separation anxiety will, within 10 min of being left alone, defacate or urinate in the house, engage in destructive behavior, and begin to cry/whine/bark. This is unfortunately rather common in dogs who've had multiple homes. Is the behavior you're describing happening only when he's left alone/confined? If yes, it's probably separation anxiety and the resulting behaviors are acutally his response to the panic he feels when left. Try not to be angry with him. Get help from a vet with a behavior interest/experience. Good luck!
