Training a Dog.....

Isn't as easy as it might seem......

I included this picture because it gave me a smile, just like watching Lil' Wolfie take Uber the wonder Lab for a walk around the neighborhood.....

And by the way, if you have a 10 month old Dog/Puppy, and you decide to train them, remember to train yourself too......don't leave the training materials within the Dogs reach.......

I swear it was easier teaching the Cat to use the toilet than to get this Canine to stop chewing......

Gotta go to work.

hey wolfie if its any consolation, my cat chews everything in site and doesnt use the tiolet.... lol.
did u actually get uber to stop chewing, lol. i had a freind who tieed using tabasco sauce on his chair legs to get the og to stop chewing the wooden chair legs.... the wonderfully cool dog developed a taste fer tabasco! drooled anytime he smelled it. what stopped him in the end u ask.... he stopped shewing when he lost all his baby teeth!

Hang in there buddy. The chewing stops for the most part as soon as he loses all his puppy teeth and the permanent ones grow in.

My kids always wanted to buy cute (price-y) little puppy toys for the dog - this after he chewed up almost all their stuffies (pulls off the nose and extracts the stuffing through the hole, don't ask me why, and once it is 'dead' never returns to 'eat' it), chewed up leather shoes, chewed up electric cords... I said NO! NO MORE! but if you wanna go get a 50 cent stuffy at the thrift shop, fine.

He also had a penchant for pulling the pond plants out of the pond and chewing on the rootballs - the pump cord was a favorite as well.

My dad's dog chewed the shingles off the house. It is amazing how destructive they can be. Seems like after age 3, it sorta stopped.

That's funny about the Tabasco. :)

My mom & dad once left their little dog shut up in the bathroom of relatives they were visiting while everyone went out to dinner. Didn't want to take the dog with a carload of people or give it the run of a strange house. Two hours in the bathroom cost my folks a bunch of $$$ as the sweet little dog destroyed rugs, wallpaper, the door, a cabinet, Sheetrock... a teenaged Daschund with a mad on!
