So you're obviously not crate-training it... seems like your fault, hoss...

Have to crate to pup. Mine knows when I'm not looking and will try to find stuff he's not supposed to have. He gets put in his kennel everytime I leave the house.

She's in a crate throughout the work day. I come home and let her out at lunch. She is definitely being crate trained.

I occasionally leave my german shepherd in my room and whenever I come back that son of a bitch has chewed up something.

If she's in the crate while my roommates are there she whines.
Put a cover over the crate.
And give her something to chew in the crate.
Feed her in the crate.
My dogs go lay in their crate all the time even when I am home and the door is open....it's their chill place.

So you consider crate training leaving her in the crate 100% of the time I'm not there as opposed to 95%? If that's the case then I'm doing it wrong and appreciate the advice.

O.k. this is solid advice.
Idk I've never had to crate train a dog.

5-6 months old is prime chewing age. Get her a ton of chew toys, like 100 or more, and strew them over every square foot of territory she has access to. She'll be chewing up to several years, at leas the age of 2. If you can't handle the responsibility of owning the dog, make sure you find her a nice home. That pup is a little beauty.

GS are my favorite breeds. Good looking dog you got there. I don't care about your stuff

it wasn't until he was about a year or a year and a half that I would start to leave him out, and only for 30 min- an hour max.
your dog is a puppy and puppies chew. If you leave it out of a crate, it's going to find whatever it can and chew it. It doesnt matter if you crate it 9/10 times, the one time you leave it out, it's going to chew

I thought this was well known to be part of Puppy Care 101. They chew shite up.

You need to use a switch on her rump or thigh when you catch her eating things that aren't toys and crate her during the day or whenever you can't watch her. At first.

I personally haven't ever crated the dogs that I've had and have not had problems with them. It just seems wrong to me to lock an animal in a small cage for long periods of time. That said, it does seem to be considered an acceptable practice.
I think maybe the process of how you actually crate train them is important. Here's one method a quick Google search found. I'm sure there are tons of others out there.

Dogs work way better with positive reinforcement

Not when they have no idea what's going on.

Beat her with your destroyed shoe.

We got a 10 month old German Shepherd Saturday. She was pretty beat up and really skinny. Took her to the vet yesterday for basically every test and shot. She sleeps outside on the back porch. Last night she was jumping at the door and whining all night. Is this a result of trauma basically at the vet? I can't keep her off the door and am thinking about a shock collar to teach her to stay off
ETA: She had hookworms and ear mites too. And Kennel cough

She wants to sleep in a crate in your house
