Thanks all x
Hi Ann I find it helps to rotate toys so puppies don't get bored with them, I keep them in a box and just bring out a couple at a time.

One toy which was a great success was the everlasting treat ball, like this one......
http://www.dog-games.co.uk/shop/dog-...d-refills.html

It is quite expensive.
You can devise games too, a plastic beaker with a treat underneath can be a good distraction for a puppy, likewise a plastic bottle with a treat inside to roll around the floor. Puppies shouldn't be left alone with these things though, I found them a good distraction from the wall when I was working in the kitchen

Funny I though puppy walkers had pups till they where 12 mths old, yet I though number 19 was only a small pup , and you had not had him long

Yes I remember him taking delivery of Raven just a few weeks ago. How strange...

Yes, unfortunately. The one about how to use a short chain really upset me.

"We are getting a 7 week old, black, female Lab 8 November."


So the pup that was 7 weeks old 3 weeks ago and was number 19 has now graduated to Guide Dog school?

Hi, MY dog Oscar loved chewin wallpaper as a pup, no crates then, kept the damage to 1 room, he only ever did it when left on his own( very rarely)i didnt decorate for 2 yrs, until he finished teething, then he never did it again!! lived to age 15, i used to come home to oscar sitting in a pile of confetti , waggin his little tail with a cheesy grin on his face!!! dont worry about it!! once your dog is mature, hopefully it will settle down!!!! x
