She's very well trained thank you, and has never destroyed anything in our home. This was outside, with the encouragement of my fiance, who, sometimes has less than stellar judgement.
Besides, I do not give my pups the opportunity to destroy things when they are young as they are safely confined in a crate or a puppy safe room until they earn the privelege to be loose in the house, which Hannah earned at 6 months due to her excellent behavior.
The only danger to the mattress on my bed is whether it can hold the weight of all the animals + all the humans.
She's hardly a "poor dog". :wah:
