My dog is SO BAD!!!! Help please!?
My dog is less than two years old and lately she is so extremely disobedient. I tell her NOT to do something she stops and the minute I walk off she does it again. She's never acted this way before. She used to be a good puppy now she's unruly! I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and high risk which makes it so much harder. She's tearing up the baby things I've bought chewing and ripping through baby's items. Ripping up the carpet in this house we rent till the wood below the carpet is showing. Tearing up the trash then stopping when I tell her to then going right back to doing it. She's getting out of the fence no matter what I've done then runs away and barks at neighbors and gets sooo dirty then won't come back when I tell her to. She's jumping on the coffee table and taking food and we don't even give her scraps or let us stay in the same room when we eat. She claws up the counters when there are things out on the counters. She's jumping on the furniture and clawing it up when she knows better because she waits till I leave to do it. It's been like this my whole pregnancy and being high risk I have to stay relaxed and calm and I'm at my ends with this dog. I love her but I've even started to have dreams about getting rid of her! Is this like some defiant teenager terrible twos stage is it because I'm pregnant...It is so frustrating...

Te dog may be having anxiety behavioral thing she notices the change in hormones with u and that has triggered her to act jealous and need of attention// how to fix it : get on her eye lvl and let the dog know whos boss and if ur reacting with emotion in a ferm voice say no or use a water bottle with a stream of water when she does something wrong or discuss other options

If you are currently 33 weeks pregnant and high risk than you may need to get rid of the dog or Hire a professional dog trainer anyway It not alot of options here. Take Care

If you have not attempted to train her in the past, you cannot expect her to behave.
Perhaps you have left her alone when you were at work, consequently she was bored, lonely and miserable.
Hopefully this is not leading up to a post where you are dumping her. If you feel frustrated, imagine how your dog feels when you have failed to communicate with her or make any attempt to train her.

Well you tell the dog what not to do but do you tell her what to do or praise her when she's doing what you want? Try doing that. Also doing some kind of activity with her like daily walks will help a lot.

You are probably not going to like my answer but...you did ask.
Your dog is NOT bad. Your training techniques are. A dog is only as good as the training received.
As you do not know how to train your dog, get the help of a professional trainer.

Dog obedience classes would help. And sounds like to me she just needs exercise everyday. That right there is a biggie! If you don't have time, hire a teenager, or neighbor.
