Aine and her terrible 2's

[Kassie]

I love my dog, I love my dog, I love my dog.....I don't know what it is lately but Aine is making us crazy! I know life has been crazy, we've lived in our living room for over a month now while plumbing repairs are being done. Aine seems to have completely forgotten her potty training. She will come in from outside and poop immediately. Last night while we were asleep she tried to eat the couch! Hopefully we will move back upstairs oved the weekend and there won't be the stuff to get into. She has never done this stuff before! Agghhhh! I love mypuppy I love my puppy!

Two's??? She's still a baby - she isn't one until July right??

First - all the upheaval you have been going through won't have helped and secondly, she's probably on her second round of teething - the back teeth - that might explain the eating of furniture.

Get her out and playing to tire her out, and see if you can find her a good chewing toy that will help her settle as well.

Hang in there - it does get better - just look at Maeve! +WUBCLUB+

Oh I feel for you! Link got really bad behavior wise just before and after he turned one (although no pottying in the house). He made a big turn-around in the past couple months, settling into such a very good guy. I was tearing my hair out at one point thinking he'd be horrible forever. Hang in there!

I suspect the pottying is because of all the upheaval. Corgis LOVE routine, when something changes they get stressed (at least mine do), be it good or bad stress. I bet she'll come out of it. Be sure to go back to puppy kindergarten with pottying for now.

I seem to remember Trevor having a "potty training lapse" right around 9-10 months or so. It corrected it self quickly (within a few weeks.)

Couple her age with all the stress you guys have been having at home, and it's no wonder she is 'acting out' in some way. It will get better! +WUBCLUB+

Hang in there. Chester chewed more than normal at 10-11 months, just meant more purchases of toys to try, and ice chips. Things will get better, even though there are those moments you wonder when. Chester started table cruising - only on my son's place setting I note - past two weeks. Always testing us, sigh. You have to sleep with one eyelid open. I went back to crating even when I step outside for a second. I don't think I'll trust him until he is 2!
