A snap of my fingers and a firm "NO" will usually do the trick for me. Once they have stopped I will usually get him a bone or something yummy to chew on. I think alot of times they are just looking for something to do. I have a large basket full of bones and toys. When I see Snickers with my childrens toy I just tell him to get his own toys and he will go to his basket and get something. I do have to check under the sofa from time to time and look for missing (stolen by Snickers) things. Also Snickers has this rubber toy the shape of a small football with little holes in it that you can stick treats in. He just loves this thing a takes it everywhere with him. You can get one of those things put some cheese or something in it to keep him out of trouble. |
