    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!

    Nice looking dog! I'm tempted to get another too once Safi is a bit older.

    Nala ate her first bed like that! We got an outdoor one and she would lay on it and not chew it, but then my brilliant husband put it inside a wicker basket - she ate the basket. Now we have an enormous bed from Costco for inside during the winter and out on the porch during the summer. We buy the beds like that at Wal-Mart for $10 so we can just toss them if she digs or chews them. So far, so good! She's awfully cute!!

    Hi! I, too, am in love with Lillie's spot or as I call it "the black diamond". The nylabone is still around. Lillie has not shown too much interest in it after the first day we gave it to her. Although, today, we took her to the pet store and bought her a bully stick. I decided to go with the small one to see if she liked it. Boy did she like it! It took her 15 minutes to gobble that up. Now I can buy her the braided one. I never know with her as she tends to be "picky". What surprises me the most is that she has no interest in peanut butter. She is my first dog who does not like it. My other dogs, if I let them, would eat a peanut butter sandwich. The only thing that Lillie likes with peanut butter is the frosty paws peanut butter flavored ice cream. I guess I can't blame her!:D I hope to post more pics with Lillie and her new bed in the near future. Jodie:)
