I have a pit bull mix, her name is Charlie, that we rescued and is one of the sweetest dogs on the planet. We had never had a pit bull until about 6 months ago. We knew she would chew on some things but we didn't realize how bad it could be. She as plenty of toys and another dog to keep her company. She was ok at first and like our other dog, we were able to let her have the run of the house while we were at work. Then she ate almost all of the cushions on our both sofas. Crate time. Our first dog did very well with crate training, but Charlie did not. She ate a whole through the plastic crate so she could escape. No big deal, we'll just get a metal one. Wrong.

We then decide to keep her in the bathroom which she has done very well with until now. We just moved into our first house a couple of months ago and we are very proud. Charlie, who doesn't make any payments, decides to eat two of the door jams which I will most likely have to replace. Needless to say the money is adding up and its something we can't afford to keep doing. I love this dog and when I even think about getting rid of her I get kinda upset with myself for even thinking it. I don't want to get rid of her, we can't afford professional training, and I don't know what to do next. I know there are a lot of dog lovers here so I'm hoping you guys can give me some good advice. Thanks
