Willfully so. He once ate a baby picture of my husband out of the frame. The glass was in one piece, the frame destroyed, and the picture never to be seen again. He ate my First Communion Missile that had been sitting on a dresser all 10 years of his life. He had never bothered it before, just decided on a whim I guess. The kicker was when he ate an entire cannister of Belgium dark chocolate flakes. That meant a trip to the emergency room for Massimo!<br /><br />It wasn't his fault. He was incredibly smart and clever and I didn't challenge him enough. Your idea in another post about agility training is a good one. I see some hound in Tad. Hounds need work. Good luck!!!A.

Sorry about the broken lens though especially when it's needed for work! You're an angel to Tad and he is enduring. In time, he'll settle down. I like what the one person posted above.....he's probably never felt this good in his life. That's awesome but yah, I would suspect that working on house manners is definitely on the agenda! THANKS FOR BEING SO PATIENT WITH HIM!!! You are the best! :DJerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491953959614370501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506049144354013794.post-53083052872276365182011-05-19T16:51:58.955-05:002011-05-19T16:51:58.955-05:00Puppyhood!

I know you are still trying to find a good trainer but if you haven't started working on some commands with him, I think it might help if you did. The longer he thinks he runs the show, the longer it will take to correct it. Maybe some leash training to start and some basic commands. Can practice, sit, stay, leave it, etc. You shouldnt have to physically stop him from charging to the door once he gets that you are in control of him. He probably feels so good now and it's hard for him to not be so exuberant lol. Good luck with your shoot. Oh the one item I was waiting for came, so going to send off his package. I have a great book on training, if I can find it, will send that too.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748442974874443579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506049144354013794.post-83484594422500170492011-05-19T11:48:39.449-05:002011-05-19T11:48:39.449-05:00That's why they make pups so cute, so you don&...That's why they make pups so cute, so you don't strangle the little monst...darlings!

I am seriously considering strangling him and then he looks up at me and wags his tail and is so happy that I am going to join him in his fun game that I just can't be mad. I tell him the same thing I told my ex-husband "It's a good thing you are cute!" Fortunately for him, he is a LOT cuter than my ex-husband so I am keeping my little puppy boy!Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01400613035688360418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506049144354013794.post-43009350023396127602011-05-19T10:55:31.683-05:002011-05-19T10:55:31.683-05:00Aw, that really blows :(..

My 40 pound dog (at the time) somehow moved the sofa to the middle of the room while I wasn't home, ripped up two of the cushions and ate the arm off of it.. Needless to say she had to be kenneled from that point on. Sweet little Tad, he's just getting so comfortable with his new life. He's never had boundaries or anyone to care enough to give him boundaries! Not to mention he's probably never felt so GREAT in his life that he doesn't know what to do with all the energy. I'm sure you know he'll learn in due time..Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314373125900113202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506049144354013794.post-74039700470322665962011-05-19T10:18:03.365-05:002011-05-19T10:18:03.365-05:00Yikes!

At least you were able to solve the problem...and you know now not to leave your camera on your tripod when Tad is around. You live and you learn, right?cney0423https://www.blogger.com/profile/00841527695897306242noreply@blogger.com
