I have written before aboutmy terrier mix who is full of energy. I believe he has some OCD . He does circles trying to bite the grass, the flor, the carpet. He has ruined our berber carpet by this behavior. He is 1 1/2 and days I work in the office (3x a week) he is crated for around 8 hours. I thought now that the ids are home fromschool I would start trying to let him out of his crate for periods of time to eventually work up to not have to crate him anymore. He was doing well for a few weeks and we had 3 days in a row of 5 hours without incident. Yesterday he ripped the carpet a lot more. We are about to get our house painted so we do not want to put gates up plus he can jump them. What else can we do . He also does this behavior when we are home and can't figure out how to stop it. We have tried distracting him with toys, using commands he know, water guns etc He will do these even in the middle f a game of fetch or running around with another dog. He gets excercise but it never seems to be enough. I ride with him onmy bike, he gets walked and we have a nother dog he plays with all the time.
anyone have any suggestions, I wil not get rid of him. when he relaxed he has a very sweet nature good with kids and loves giving kisses.
