What are a few ways to train a Yorkie to stop chewing up things?

My 1 1/2 year old Yorkshire Terrier (which is also mixed with a little bit of Poodle), chews up a lot of things (recently- my brand new headphones). We have tried putting her in the cage for about 30 min. - 1 hour, firmly (and quite loudly) telling her to not chew things, and much more. Nothing seems to work! She just does it again. We try our best to keep things away from her, but she jumps and worms her way into places. Its getting pretty bad and I really don't want to sell her. We have even had to resort to placing gates to block off certain rooms (which looks very tacky). She also has at least 2 accidents in the house per day. Is this normal? What can I do? By the way, we have 6 members of the household, 3 adults, one teen, a 4 year old, and a baby. She is the only dog in the house, we got her in December of 2011.
We do keep things away and up as much as possible. She even chews on blankets on the beds and things like that.
We have many chew toys out and available, she chews on a bone often. We have a fairly big house and normally there are only 3 household members (which doesn't make a difference- she still acts the same.) We have had a dog before, he was well trained.



Answer
First off, if she is still having accidents in the house, she is not properly house trained, or you don't have her on a schedule and she is forced to eliminate in the house.

Second, there is nothing "tacky" about gates in a household with dogs. If you have a problem with gates perhaps the dog lifestyle is not for you.

Third, what are you giving her to chew on that is more appropriate? Does she have an antler, or a nylabone, or a bully stick, or anything?

Sounds to me like she is not getting enough exercise, is not fully trained, and is living in a crowded house with no rules, no structures, and no schedule. Just the right environment for behavior issues.

By the way, putting her in the crate does nothing. Nothing. It was worthy of repeating.

How much can I sell my iPod touch 4g for on eBay?




Tyler...


It's about a year old, screen isn't scratched, but the back is fairly scratched

It also comes with a case, over ear headphones, jvc gummy earbuds, USB, wall charger, a bomb speaker, I think I still have the box, and also comes with a stylus

What's it worth? It's updated to 6.1

Also it's the 8GB model.

I'm thinking about saving for the new iPod touch, if my parents will let me -_-

Thanks!



Answer
I been trying to sell mines as well, it's same as yours, mines it's almost brand new, I'm probably going for 120-140 somewhere, on Craigslist. If you get some higher offer go for it!
