  I placed an older puppy with some people (10 months) old about 8 months ago.  
The family consists of Husband, Wife, son (10) and daughter (12).

  They have had the bitch for about 10 months.   During this time they have 
called several times with problems such as digging and chewing and I have tried 
to counsel them about making sure the puppy has enough exercise and giving her 
acceptable things to chew on.  They still didn't exercise the dog.  I even had 
them bring the dog back and took the puppy bitch and her sire outside and 
played ball with them for 15 min.  The bitch came up and laid by our feet.  The 
wife's comment was she never does that.  They took the dog home and she didn't 
dig a hole for two days and then started in again.  When she called I told her 
you can't just exercise her once a week at this age.

  About 3 months ago they had this brain storm to get a second dog to play with 
the first.  I advised against that but they did it anyway.  Now they have new 
neighbors that have 2 little dogs that "tease" her dogs.  The dogs are running 
the fence and have completely torn up the Husband's back yard.  So now they are 
looking for new homes for both of these dogs.

  I am helping them place the GSD I placed and they are giving the other gsd 
back to the Rescue they got him from.  If we can't find a home for her I will 
take her back.

WHY WON"T THEY LISTEN.
