So bit of a long story but my wife and i aquired a couple year old female english mastiff, we immediately fell in love with the breed as she is an excellent guard dog, great with our kids, knows a few cute tricks, and never had an accident in the house, so we decided now that she is getting old and god forbid if something does happen to her we wanted her to spend a considerable amount of time with a puppy so the puppy would aquire her great traits, so we made a couple hour trip and aquired Harleigh an 8 week old tan very big english girl.
We are at a point now where Harleigh cannot be inside because she just wont potty train, she destroys everything she comes in contact with, she gets in the trash, she opens the fridge, she can almost open our front door, she will soon have that mastered, she basically cannot be inside, she cannot be in the garage because she destroys everything and poops and pees all over, she cant be outside because she destroys all of our lawn furtniture and opens our shed and destroyed everything in there, we added it up and she has cost of close to $5500 dollars in damage to fencing, she ate our whole sprinkler system box and wiring off our house, she ate my father in laws siding off his house, she ate brand new lawn chairs that were $200 a piece, she ate a $300.00 fishing pole, its just frustrating and my wife and i have spent so much money on her now that we would hate to give up if she is close to being trained, she is now almost 10 months old and we just need some advise on how to stop the chewing and she is getting better with potty training but will still squat and pee right in front of you, she has no manners at all, i can be standing in the kitchen and she will get up on the counter and pull dishes out of the sink right in front of you, if she sees a door open she will run outside and take off and doesnt listen when you call her, and the terrible part is instead of the older girl having influence on her, she is having influence on my older dog, now she chews, runs off, poops in the house, gets in the trash, and im at a point to where im ready to just give them both up, but dont want to, any advise would be appreciated.
