    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    @elbrant Yes, she's good an patient sometimes, I've been taking pics of her from day 1 so she's used to it, I'm allowed a couple of mins and no more though.

    Yep– you did fine and I left you his email. They smell like what they are-- salmon. Since I love salmon I don't mind. The bad part is they know where I have them in a closed plastic storage box and Cara got ON THE KITCHEN TABLE trying to get to the shelf, lol. They last about as long as the chicken jerky treats but I am giving the a big one. I have not used the chips yet (they are about 2 inches to 3 inches square). The big ones they tear pieces off, crunch, swallow and on to next piece. I wouldn't know how they smell wet as by then they are down the gullet, lol. I guess I should video them eating one. Arwen just goes into ecstasy.
