You are probably so right about chasing him being a game... I had not thought about that... I will try the treats to get him to come... Funny thing is I think he already knows what is for him and what is not... If he gets a dog toy he'll bring it to his bed... But when he grabs one of the kids things (without me saying a word) he'll take off running! Which in his mind i suppose starts the chase! Just one of the downsides of having such a clever dog! |
I have a little one too. He is 16 weeks. I live in a very, very small home. I bought a ex pen that is set up in the living room corner. It takes up a lot of room but trust me right now it is worth it. Setting up a place for him to have his own space and also to give a place to put him to have a break from the going on in the house. They fold up or configure to different shapes. They need a "safe space"
