Need some advice, when ever I take Penny over to my parents, she goes to play in their garden. However she likes digging up all their plants, chewing the roots, and pulling branches off the bushes and generally trying to destroy their garden. Any suggestions for training her out of this??
I have tried catching her at it and distracting her, tried loud noises, saying no but all she does now is grabs what she can and then runs around garden barking at me in a "haha cant catch me and I dont care" manner!! Now I am letting her out with a training lead on so I can catch her, but she is getting so worked up about she seems to completly loose all sense of reason!
She is reasonably well trained at the rest of the time for a 1 year old, its just when she gets in these playful situations she completly looses all respect and training!!
Help please, I cant afford to keep replacing mum's plants!!
