I've tried using some of Cesar Milan's techniques with Levi, for instance, standing with my arms out and my back to the couch, moving back and forth to "reclaim the couch." It worked for about two minutes.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-83209580705707767572011-03-11T08:30:01.012-06:002011-03-11T08:30:01.012-06:00Patsy, "He will grow out of it" is posit...Patsy, "He will grow out of it" is positive thinking, based on the fact that my other two dogs did. In the meantime, though, I do feel like one of those women on "Hoarders" when the cleaning crew comes in and starts throwing out all her good stuff.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-28448071621104145952011-03-10T12:30:45.135-06:002011-03-10T12:30:45.135-06:00he will grow out of it? you hope or perhaps you wi...he will grow out of it? you hope or perhaps you will not have any thing left for him to destroy.patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698348452802053572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-79521392161320872392011-03-09T08:48:02.596-06:002011-03-09T08:48:02.596-06:00I had to laugh while reading this, the image of yo...I had to laugh while reading this, the image of you leaving him sleeping for a few minutes and his instantly taking the opportunity to "redecorate" was too funny. Like he was faking sleeping so you'd leave him alone so he could have some fun. It's amazing, isn't it? The doggie equivalent of taking your eyes off a toddler for two seconds. <br /><br />Many times I've thought that even Cesar Milian would be stumped by Spot's puppy behavior. Good luck with obedience school! I'm sure you can get advice there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-32331514608309038642011-03-08T20:39:04.831-06:002011-03-08T20:39:04.831-06:00Marion, he's a lot of work (and he's a pie...Marion, he's a lot of work (and he's a piece of work), but I'm glad to have him in spite of it.<br /><br />Harriet, he is beautiful, isn't he? The vet calls him her "muppet boy."<br /><br />Joy, it's OK to tell the truth: you wouldn't want to be in my shoes because one of my shoes is torn all to pieces. LOL! <br />My daughter saw the shoe picture today and reminded me of the time her toy poodle ate a cleat off one of her son's football shoes and had to have major surgery.<br /><br />Alison, I don't even turn the corners down on the pages of my books, so you can imagine how I feel when I see covers chewed and pages ripped out. On the other hand, I'm kind of impressed that Levi and Cheyenne know a good book when they see one.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-76247503749303165692011-03-08T12:41:35.851-06:002011-03-08T12:41:35.851-06:00Nightmare!

Your bedroom picture is the same scene. <br /><br />Cheyenne cheyed a couple pair of shoes but she liked to hit me where it hurt: removing books from the bookshelf (like Levi) and usually my favorites or the older, more valuable ones. Also? She would knock framed photos off my dresser or end tables, then chew the support stand off the back. Drove me NUTS! <br /><br />Good luck with the training.
