Black Drawer Cabinet

Black Drawer Cabinet
Why is my dog being destructive?

My wife and I have a almost 8 year old female black lab. About a month or so a go she started to open drawers and cupboards and destroying stuff like wood trim around doors. She now is opening the kitchen drawers and using them to climb on to the counters and root around the cabinets. I filmed her doing this. Why now all of a sudden after 8 years is she doing this?
We give her Kong toy with the frozen peanut butter, she has rawhides, tennisballs, ropes and even another dog to keep her company. You guys did have one thing in common, my wife went back to work. She is the one who rescued her and she has the most attachment. Thats probably the culprit.

Has there been any major changes in the household? Kids leaving, kids being born, family members death? Changes usually bring on something like that.

Or could be she suddenly has a problem with her gums and needs to chew more, so you may want to consult a vet.

Or, maybe she is just doing in because she likes it. In which case, you have to find something more interesting for her to chew. New toys, stuffed kong, something like that.
