HELP! My little Bubbles is regressing in just about every type of behavior. I honestly don't know what to do, and have even thought about finding a new home for her. I'm at my wit's end. I've had 3 corgi's before her and never had these issues - so, I just don't know what to do! I'm a single mom of 3 young children (ages 7,8 and 10), and here is some of what we experience:
* I work 8-5, so Bubbles is crated during that time. She was completely trained and did not have accidents during that time. For the past month, she urinates and pees as soon as she sees us. Doesn't even wait for the leash and outside.
* Refuses to urinate or poop outside - AT ALL!
* Refuses to walk outside.
* Shreds any puppy pad that I put down. Even the one's in her crate. Completely obliterates them. I don't even put them down on the floor any more. So, any time she's out of the crate, she pees/poops on the floor. She used to use the pads or go outside.
* Isn't calm or affectionate at all. Bites/nips any time we try to just pet her. We're used to corgi nipping, but, this is different.
* We obviously can't leave her out of her crate at night anymore......we used to do this.
* Jumping on tables, furniture, toilets, etc.......Chewing on everything in site - pillows, clothes, shoes, TP, chairs, etc....Even clawing and chewing into a spot in our wall! I fix it and she keeps destroying it!!
* Yes, she was fixed last month before Thanksgiving.
So, she's basically crated almost all the time. This is horrible for her, I know. I know she's probably dying for attention. It's a complete cycle of destruction and crating.
HELP!! Please......
Thanks so much.
I don't have any extra funds for training. I've tried techniques that I know, but, nothing is working.
