dog behavioral

Question
I have a dog that is a dachshunds and fox moor. My husband and I have been trying to break her from tearing up the mini-blinds around the house. She only does this when we leave. We have have done just about everything we can to stop her but it does no good. I was wondering what can I do make her stop? I was also wandering why is she doing this?

Answer
You asked why she was doing this.
I told you.
If you disagree, I am sorry, but in my many years of raising and observing dogs, they DO do ittle spite things.
There is no other reason for her doping it.
If it wee not for spite because you leave her there, she would do it while you were home.
You asked what can be done about it.
I told you the only thing I know that can help.
Sorry you didn't like the answer.
I am an expert in dog behavior and raising and training dogs.
I am NOT a physic.
I was as polite and as clear as I could be with the limited amount of information you gave.

Hi Amber;
I have tried to find a picture of a Foxmoor, but cannot find anything about the breed.
This sounds like a spite thing, for being left alone.
My Friend's Yrokie does this, tears the blinds when she leaves him alone in the apertment.
All I could tell her is to raise the blinds to where he cannot get them, and when she comes back and one has been chewed, take him to it, point to it, and scold him and put him in timeout.
She has a very soft voice, and was one of these, no,no sweetie, a dozen times mothers.
Her children never listened to her, and neither does her dog.LOL
I spoil them all rotten, and cuddle them, cook sopecial things for them, and all that, and never hit them, but when they do wrong, I snatch them u;, chew their butts out, tell them how bad they are and they have to go to time out until they learn the bahave.
Them I put them in the hall bathroom for about 30 minutes.
I trained her Yorkie too, and when he is at aunt Char's house, he acts like a little gentleman.
If you can put her in a room where she does not have access to blinds, she will pick something else to tear up for spite.
You have to teach her that she has to obey the rules when you are gone as well as when you are there, and it is in her best interest to do that.
Mighty Mite ( the Yorkie) hates time out as much as my dogs do, but he loves to come here.
He just behaves here, and rules the house when they are at home.
I do a really good, nagging butt chewing.
They think they have really plowed up a snake.
They would rather I would beat them with a club, I am sure, but when they start to misbehave, all I have to do is say, "Do you want to go to time out?", and they straighten up and act right.
Mostly the one who gets threatened, is Max, a little Lhasa mix that wants to rule the other dogs, so he snaps and tries to dominate. I DON'T allow fighting, so he gets threatened, and he stops the aggression in a heartbeat. He hates to be sent to time out.
He will go in that bathroom and lie down on the mat and sleep, but he knows when he is put there for time out, that he is being punished, and he is in trouble. They HATE to be the one in trouble, and they even try to smooth it over when one of the other ones get into trouble.
