Aerie is very hard headed and resist any training i give him. i desperately need some advice.. |
I agree with everyone's opinions, It is your responsibility to see that nothing is left with him that you wouldn't want ruined or could endanger him when you are not around. Puppies are just like children and need to be monitored, sord of how you wouldn't leave a child alone with a box of crayons, in a white room.. as you would expect to come back to a masterpiece on the walls, and you wouldn't leave a toddler alone with expensive crystal pieces on a coffee table, they'd be in shambles when you got back.. Puppies are the same they need supervision or a clear environment with things that belong to them.
Gucci hasn't started this yet but I KNOW he will.. I am working on clearing out everything I want to keep away from him before I even let him down.
Good Luck! Your husband shouldn't make you get rid of him because he chews I hope he is only bluffing ...
I Know, I'd tell my hubby too bad for you buddy he stays lol He wouldn't dare get rid of my Gucci
I don't care what he does wrong.
