I have a certain area where everything is hooked up, the larged screened tv, surround , DVD player , all are good stuff , in the family room , is right there. Our little puppy kept squeezing back there into the corner
Even though their is a end table , she still would keep going back over there. I finally placed a baby gate accross the area blocking her completely out of there . It worked. Little rascal cannot go back inside there. Otherwise, she would no doubt eventually do the same thing Maddy would have done .
When Suzi was a puppy she did chew through my laptop cord . Costing me a $100 replace , it . Suzi was fine. Cords can be replaced, dogs cant' .
DH, may have lost his temper , and frightend maddy badly. Suzi becomes scared easily like this too.
