The best thing you can do is exercise Daisy as much as possible. The more tired she is the less energy she will have to get destructive. I would consider a doggie daycare if you are having trouble getting her the exercise that is needed for Daisy. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
