So by assert some discipline, how does he do this? Put her outside and tell her to stay? What about when we leave and she chews the door frames to get inside when we shut the doors to leave her out? She does this when we are not around, so if we were to scold her for it when we got home she wouldn't understand why the scolding. That's why I didnt do anything when I saw the mess she made. Should I have scolded her when I got home? I was under the impression that dogs dont associate scolding with things that happened hours before, and that its only when they are currently doing something.

Plus she only does is when she is locked out of where she wants to go. Its frustrating.
