My boxer had puppies and we decided to keep two. They live inside and they are absolutely horrible! mine is a male, and the other is a female. They are now about 11 months old, and have managed to tear up the entire cushion and padding of our chair, many decorations, the armrest and padding of our loveseat, and much more. Tonight we went out to eat for an hour tops, and come home to find the entire strip of carpet (yes, carpet that has been there as long as I can remember) has been chewed up, and the padding from underneat it is scattered in our dining room, hall way, and kitchen. My mother swept up the padding, and I put it in a garbage bag (it took up half of the bag), and my stepfather put the carpet back down. It is noticeable, and feels funny to walk on. We have already blocked off my parents room and the living room with child/dog gates, and close my room off and my brothers' room off any time we are not in them. after tonight, I'm to my breaking point. I love my puppy very much, and he is so cute, but I cannot allow him to continue to tear things up. I will being going off to college in August (only about a 30 minute drive from my house), and will have to leave him at home. My parents will not tolerate him doing this while I'm gone, and its frustrating to me now. What can I do?? the only thing I can think to do now that it is cold is to get a crate. any other ideas or crate-training tips would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Also...he is 11 months almost as I said, but he still has only dropped one testicle...we have to get him neutured because of our other male, and that he is constantly around his mother and sister. Is it normal he still hasn't dropped another? will he? can we get him neutured now with only one dropped?
Thanks for any help!
At 11 months old, this dog is a crytorchid. Cryptorchism is inherited. Dogs with this condition are at high risk for testicular cancer. He should be neutered and his parents and littermates should be neutered if they are passing this on.
You should consult your vet about the testicle/neutering and also ask them for a recommendation of a good behaviourist.
