    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!

    I am lucky with my guy. Although he has attempted digging a few times and been told "no", he doesn't take advantage of my absence to pursue the habit. One exception was when I assume he was cold, and he dug his way under the comforter on the bed, managing to do some damage to the foamy we have on the bed to make it softer. (never assume the bed that felt soft enough in the showroom will be so when you get it home! :) ) He has free run of the house and seldom abuses the privilege. Obviously if the damage occurs when you are gone the only solution is to restrict his access to the things he is likely to harm. Or suffer the consequences. ;)

    @snorky998: Looks like the video worked well. Buddy recalled to the TV instantly:D Now all you have to do is imitate the wonderfully silly voice and he'll come running every time:D Let us know how that works out!! Thanks for the clip. It was adorable. That's correct! The high pitched "SPREEEEE"! That's the dogs name (Spree) in the video. So it will have to be "BUDDEEEEE! I will have to work on the high pitch.

    @Janneke: Sunday, March 1st :D 7 b's entering. I'm very curious who will be there.. Tillo's ears are a bit hairless at the moment.. :rolleyes: It doens't look too nice.. but we can't help it.. ooh, that mostly doesn't matter, Buana's ears are also every year about this time very hairless :rolleyes: He's never judged badly about that. Sometimes, I shown him in the time he is almost bald :eek: his but with NO hair and he became best male out of a lot males (he was in youth class) so the judges don't really look at it. That's my experience, the judges just know about B's and their fur. Our show is this sunday in Amersfoort and then 14 march in Leiden. Shall we make a deal? You get a point in Groningen, Kas get a point in Leiden! We've the best B's… :D A lot of succes and don't be nervous.. he's so sweet and handsome..
