Chewing the Wood Table. No! |
He brought the blue toy up there with him, but in this case the wood was more interesting. Again, not surprising - a new texture, a new location he can access - this IS puppy-hood. Repeated corrections, teamwork and patience are a key to success.
It should be noted that this is normal behavior for an eleven week-old puppy, whether from The Seeing Eye or not. You've got to be committed to working through this phase and be honest with yourselves that it is going to happen; and when the pup does calm down, give you kisses and fall asleep, do a couple of furniture scratches really matter (if your answer is yes, you may want to rethink getting a young puppy!)?
oh ryan! good luck :) our cross used to chew a lot but our sheppie didn't. maybe try a GSD next! LOL Hang in there, you've got only about 16 months left!!! LOL all the best, judy
