Chewing on door frams!
My puppy, Glow, will chew on door frames while we are out of the house. We have tried putting a 1x1 over the door frame to deter her, putting hot spices like cyan pepper and tabasco sause on the door, spanking her on the bum and nose, taking her by the head and talking to her (she had this done while she was really little and it made her listen), and of course telling her no or bad in a loud, stern, mean voice. So far nothing has stopped her from either scratching or chewing the door frames. It does not matter wether we leave her for 5 minutes or 5 hours, she still does it. She is almost a year and a half, and we are out of ideas to get her to stop this behavior, please help!
other things we have thought of but not tried yet: always kenneling her, always leaving her outside (but it is too cold for that now), a mussle and soft paws for her clause
anything else would be very helpful please and thankyou!!

Soft paws, or even a good nail trim will help with the scratching. For the chewing head to the pet store and ask/find "bitter apple" and "Fooey" sprays, they are extremely bitter and nasty tasting. I had to get it to keep my puppy from chewing cords and wires. Worked like a charm. Best part after a couple of weeks, he stopped trying to chew on the treated stuff permanently.
