I think you have to live your life differently when you have a pup. Get into the habit of always picking thigs up and putting lids on things. The rubbish bin in my bedroom now lives on top of an ottoman, so molly cant reach it! You just have to change your way of life and move everything up higher...just like you do when you have a toddler in the house. |
I totally agree...I used this rule of thumb raising my kids, my grandkids and my puppies/dogs. Teach right from wrong, but put temptation out of the way. For the Yorkies, everything up very high, covered trash cans, pee pads where ever I can put them. They're such tiny creatures....you have to be very careful and tolerant. My husband isn't very tolerant and occasionally yells at them, so now they automatically bark at him every time he gets up, or enters a room. And they go nuts if he picks up a newspaper or magazine.
