One of the best ways of preventing behavior like this is to take the puppy on a walk. Personally this is my favorite thing about owning a dog. They are kind of like personal trainers who live in your house and chew up your socks. Since we got Rio I have pretty much walked everyday of the week. At first he would get hot and tired but now it is favorite part of the day. Even now he is giving me “the LOOK” and I know when I say “WALK” he will go completely crazy. The first part of our walk he carries his leash in his mouth and prances down the street. If you say “WALK” too soon he will follow you all over the house whining and barking. Our code for this is “I’m going to take Bozo for a stir fry” because if anyone asks if I took him for a walk he goes crazy AGAIN. Lucky for me I have these kinds of places to take walks.
