He's still a puppy, so hopefully the chewing will stop soon, but I can imagine you are frustrated with him right about now . . . !A :-)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08945973268968338244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-4996083502054591852008-03-14T09:19:00.000-07:002008-03-14T09:19:00.000-07:00Michelle, I noticed before he had a crate, is this...Michelle, I noticed before he had a crate, is this no longer the case? If he keeps on chewing, put him in a crate while you are gone (or busy doing other things) and give him a rawhide or something to chew on.<BR/><BR/>After Sadie ate the baseboard and ate carpet I haven't had much trust in her in the kitchen while i'm gone so I crate everybody. Just a thought :)Ebonwald Cardiganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-86325086466331492922008-03-14T08:05:00.000-07:002008-03-14T08:05:00.000-07:00I sypmathize - I have a 3 month old pup who, becau...I sypmathize - I have a 3 month old pup who, because of our lovely rain, refuses to go outside to get wet - she could easily be the reincarnation of my boxer, Ceili, who had her own raincoat (my dogs are NOT spoiled...). We're still having housetraining issues, and with me at work all day, it's difficult. Today, after a pair of "accidents" of the solid variety, I moved the x-pen (you should get one - check craigslist) so that it snugs up close to the dog door, with the large crate just inside with barely enough room to move beside it. It should work. The downside is that my border collie, Harry, who is 6, feels like he's being punished. Hopefully, Lyra will get the picture, and they can go back to less confining digs.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-86316030016056581932008-03-14T07:10:00.000-07:002008-03-14T07:10:00.000-07:00Oh my, that is nothing, NOTHING!

Schultz from Hogan's Heroes) Lighten up, my friend, you should see the damage done from impatient bloodhounds just scratching on doors to get in or out. And the hair! I could fill an oil drum with the amount of dog hair I sweep up every week. One puppy stuck in a laundry room is NOTHING. (Tell Rick I said to lighten up as well.) You can send Jackson here if he's too much for you. He'd get to sleep on a bed with at least one person (the laundry room is too full most of the time). Poor little guy, I feel for him.Lauren Dorsee Dillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12162879010179005782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-43066343986608703102008-03-14T07:00:00.000-07:002008-03-14T07:00:00.000-07:00Rotten puppies!

I wonder if you could set him up an 'ex-pen' within the laundry room, where he couldn't reach the walls? I bought one a few years ago and have found it very useful. It keeps Boone from roaming the house (and stealing everything) when he comes in for a few hours each night. I've also used it to section off a bigger pen for sheepies. ha... Anyway, I hope that patience prevails and that Jackson will get over this stage quickly.<BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-73217338393050180212008-03-14T06:33:00.000-07:002008-03-14T06:33:00.000-07:00Jackson sounds like a very intelligent puppy who w...Jackson sounds like a very intelligent puppy who will entertain himself somehow, no matter what!
