I have had my APBT, Shelby, for nine months now. When I rescued her I was told that she was crate trained and house broken. But you never know. She was really good for the first three months but then I went away for business for 5 days. A family member stayed at my house so as not to screw up the routine that we had established. I received a call on the last day that I was away and was told that Shelby had broken out of the plastic crate. They then bought a wire crate and she demolished that. I came home and tried another plastic crate but she would break out all of the time. I have been leaving her out and she pees and sometimes deficates. It has been getting progressively worse. I even paid for a trainer and even he could not get her to stay in the crate. I don't know what to do. I know this has to be separation anxiety. Sometimes she will go a week without doing anything then its a week straight of messes. I don't want to put her on drugs but I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel Any help will be appreciated. I almost forgot she is 1 year and 3 months old, still a baby.....
