Is your house one big chew toy? 

Management is one of the best and easiest ways to prevent destructive chewing: close doors, keep shoes, clothing and toys off the floor, clear low shelves and tables. Provide plenty of acceptable chewies and toys, clean and rotate them every few weeks to keep them interesting.

Do you live with Edgar the Excavator?

Always supervise him when outside; provide a digging pit - bury a few toys and treats to get him started; provide a children's wading pool.  Potted plants can be protected by making a edge to center cut in a pot sized plastic lid and placing it around the base of the plant.

Want a well-behaved dog?

Behavior that is positively reinforced is likely to be repeated. Focus on the good things your dog does and reinforce him with a special treat, play session, or a kind word.

Is Lucy Leap to Greet driving you crazy?

Jumping on people is your dog's way of saying hello, but it can be an annoying behavior. Help him learn how to properly greet people by training him to sit when people approach.
