    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!

    @vivsos said in I Know, you are tired of being asked,: she was found on a beach & no-one came forward for her We found a puppy on a beach in Ireland when we were sailing / camping there. My son (then aged about 5) walked for miles carrying the puppy in his arms and telling me 'dogs need exercise'. When we came to leave, the camp superintendent told us the site was closing next day and the pup had been abandoned weeks earlier, very tiny. So we dropped him back into the car and drove home with him. Like Topsy, he grew and he grew ! Definitely greyhound in there somewhere. A lurcher and a fabulous family friend who brought Paul up !! He was my first dog since I was tiny myself - so I know beach-found doggies are very special. Have a DNA test done and then you'll know more about him.
