She doesn't do it in front of me. Too bad she doesn't have an "off-and-on" switch. If she did, I'd use it! Any suggestions as to how to stop this bedding shredding? Get here something to occupy her mind at night. A nice chew toy, maybe with a squeeker. It will teach you to appreciate that all she does is chew up her mattress, and educate you on how to leave her alone to have her fun. One of you has to end up the alpha.
