Not new, but seldom visit the Forum . . .

Hi Everyone,
Not new, but I seldom visit the Forum due to lack of time. My youngest, Daisy, will be 18 mos at the end of this month and lately has been chewing on anything and everything when we leave the house. She is not along, but has the company of 3 other dogs and 2 cats. All my pets get along great and this is a new problem. Is Daisy's acting up indicative of a 1 1/2 yr old Lab?

Typically Lab, Daisy is sweet beyond words and although she would occasionally dig in the yard,she would always be good when we left the house. Any advice or comment on this new "bad and dangerous" behavior will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sounds like the teenage stage to me !

If Daisy were mine, I'd be going back to crating or putting her in an x pen her when nobody is home. And, yes, it does sound like the terrible teenage stage.

Very typical lab. Definitely crate her ASAP.

Thanks, everyone. The crate it is, until she learns.
