I had a boxer that I thought did more damage than Tom Hanks in Money Pit but I believe you've got me beat. She definitely needs exercise and perhaps has some separation anxiety! Try to work on both!

Buy a kong and put some treats or peanut butter in it to keep her busy.

Posts: 3,056	Bored Puppy, Big Problem You're caging a border collie for hours at a time? In all seriousness, take the dog back and trade it in for a breed more suited to living in the confines of a house. You really are not being fair to this kind of dog to cage it. __________________ "True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and only that which is."
