I already provide my dog with toys and bones. She enjoy chewing them. But carpet is her favorite. how to stop her?
I also have keep an eagle eye on her act. Always stop her move when she try to chew carpet or decoy me. I always give her, her toys but it seems her affection to carpet can't be stop.
She also love to eat the cat litter sand.. Owh. I don't want her to get sick.
Please give me some good suggestion ):)

My puppy enjoyed biting at the carpet a lot too! He's only three months old so it's understandable, but he has recently stopped doing it as much. I shampooed my carpet and gave him a couple of rope toys, but he's also never out of my site and he knows the command "leave it." One suggestion I can give you is to buy him a toy that has a similar texture to your carpet. Also, maybe he is smelling something in your carpet? A past accident or something? Maybe try shampooing your carpet to get whatever scent he's after out of it. Also, I would put the cat litter up to where he can't reach it because dogs are prone to eat poop! Biting and eating and licking things is how dogs explore the world, so you just have to be consistent with her. I hope these suggestions help! Good luck!

Yes, you do have to keep an eye on her, as you would a human toddler. You should crate her when you can't watch her. At 5 months, you should be training and walking her 2 hours a day (not all at once). At her age and breed she has TONS of energy. Either you direct it to something positive, or she will continue to look for annoying ways to get your attention.
She is trying to get attention! And very bored too!
We put a gate across the door to where the cat box was, so the cat could go over, but the dog could not.
