Yes, he stays in his crate when we leave and does pretty well. We have made the crate a fun place, he gets meals and treats in there. He mainly barks because he knows we're all out of the crate...

Thank you! If we put him in his kennel during the day and we're here, he barks. I do close off most of the rooms so he doesn't have free reign of the entire house. I'll try to see if he'll chill...
Oh no, this is not what I want to hear. Care to trade me one of yours? LOL
He started a training class this week and did reasonably well. The biggest challenge right now is that it has been 102...
Hahaha! That's exactly what he does with the hose only he takes it out more than he puts it in. In fact, we were just out back playing in our little blue baby pool and now my clothes are soaking...
Great idea!! He does love ice cubes. I never thought about making bigger ones and letting him have them outside. Thank you!
Yep, we also have a baby pool and he likes the hose the best. He also tries to drag the pool around. Too funny! Unfortunately our yard refuses to grow grass so it's mostly sandy, Texas dirt and...
I had to laugh myself. We could hear some grrrrrs as he pulled it in. He loves playing in the water so I think he's trying to tell me something. I'll take a pic when he does it again!
LOL! Awesome ideas to entertain both the pup and US!! Thank you!
Baconsmom, thank you! We do have a fenced yard, thank God! And a doggie door so he goes in and out when he wants. One bad thing about the doggie door, he has dragged the water hose in a few times....
Well, my daughter is 18 so not exactly a child. And it's her dog so she picked the one she liked the best and that came to her and interacted the most. :) I was kind of joking...he's actually a...
Glad to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel!! I do alot of those things now...I guess I just need to keep doing them. Definitely going to start puppy school and also day care once a week...
Holy cow I've never heard that about large breeds and walking! I'm glad you guys said something. I will be more restrictive. He does walk on the grass most of the time but now that I know about this,...
Why are walks not ideal? He does fine on the leash. He's also got all of his shots so the dog park (it's a small park) is safe in that respect. The vet also verified that. If it gets too rowdy I'm...
He's my 18 year old daughter's dog and she has him sleep with her at night so his crate is only used for riding in the car (which he hates) and when we leave the house. I will try that but many...
He does seem to get wired up when he's tired. We do try to get him to relax but that's truly easier said then done. I also do at least 3 short training sessions a day and try to give him toys that...
Thanks zd262 and kimbersmom. He has a treat dispensing ball that tends to roll under the sofa, chair, hide in corners etc. I end up doing most of the mental challenges in trying to find the dang...
Can anyone recommend some good toys for a very busy, easily bored puppy? He's almost 14 weeks now and he's exhausting. I walk him twice a day, he has a doggy door to go out back when he needs to...
