Hello All, I joined yesterday and am looking for some advice on my cocker spaniel Molly. She’s roughly 18 months old and we have had her since September 2017. She came from a house with 3 other dogs and is currently the only dog in our house.
Myself and my partner work full time so are out of the house for most of the day. We have a dog walker go in to walk Molly at lunchtime but she seems to chew everything. The sofa, coffee table, any electrical item she can get to, windowsills, skirting boards and if you leave anything within reach of her, she’ll chew that too.
Some friends with dogs seem to think she has separation anxiety, however she chews things when we’re with her so I’m not sure if it is that or just boredom?
Does anyone have any advice on how I can stop her chewing things? Or help to try and work out if it is separation anxiety or boredom?
Thank you in advance
