That reminds me of my own yellow lab, ...Cute puppy! That reminds me of my own yellow lab, Snoopy (brothers idea of a name). I got him when he was only 6 months old and wow did he grow fast! He's adorable, but I'm glad he got over chewing chair legs, since it would be not doubt my parents would've gotten rid of him. Anyway, he'll be 4 this year and he's not as bad as he was when he was a pup.<br /><br />Good luck to you with Mac, he is adorable! Just be stern when training him~<br /><br />Opps, forgot to mention, he did chew up a few shoes when he was a pup (though the only one he actually destroyed was my flip-flops). We got him some rawhide bones to chew one, and it got him to stop chewing up things we didn't want him to chew (like our shoes). Though all dogs have different personalities, you might want to try that and see if he stops chewing up other things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800710271372696295.post-9186673008267429552010-02-05T10:05:07.817-08:002010-02-05T10:05:07.817-08:00Hi there. When we first adopted our sweet Booker ...Hi there. When we first adopted our sweet Booker T., he was already almost two years old. But we struggled for weekds with many of the destructive behaviors you mentioned. I don't want to even add up the dollar amount shredded as I can home to find shoe after shoe chewed up (he really liked my cute expensive ones--he liked my expensive bras too!). But I wanted to encourage you by saying that Booker T. is now around 5 and we never have issues with him anymore. Now, our seven-year-old son--named Macauley, but Mac for short just like your little one--we haven't gotten him fully trained yet... :) Have a good weekend.

She has been kept in the kitchen when we were not home (and sometimes when we were!)because she snatched and destroyed on sight. In the past 2 months she has really calmed down a lot and sometimes even prefers to sit by us rather than go on a rampage! I did take her for obedience as a pup but...I think time was the key here. Our best trick was to teach her to "wait" for food, treats-and it is useful at other times, too! Good luck! He looks so sweet!<br />~NancyNancy @ Live love laughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695100397180954131noreply@blogger.com
