Thank you, Fran. I do try to puppy-proof the room I leave them in. I just wonder when they will be ok to have the run of the house. If my son has his toys put away they do fine in his room. I have one room in my house that I've left them in, that only has a couch in it. Of course, they chewed the couch cushions to bits. I am saying, "they", when I refer to what they do, but I suspect that it is Drellie (the younger husky) who is being the most destructive. Venus is older and was housebroken almost immediately and I have never seen her really chew things. Drellie, though, was hard to housebreak and would chew, chew, chew, on anything.
When they were younger and I was first housebreaking them, Venus started to go in the house. I'm sure that it's because she saw Drellie doing it.
Now, like I said, they are fine as long as someone is home or they are not alone for very long. Maybe they will eventually learn. What do you think about me putting them in two separate rooms to see how each one behaves? I wonder if it's just one of them doing the behavior or both.
