Hi Evie...nice to meet you!
Your little Cash is still so young - and will get into everything, and chew anything. Distraction's fine (for as long as it lasts eeek!) but he really needs to be protected from HIMSELF
All 'the wires' used to be our big concern...
Confining our Harry to a smaller space was the only thing that worked for us while we were out....when we were around, we had a pile of pillows + blankies within his bed area...
As for the walking - when you take him out - where do you go and what do you do? Is he concerned about his harness? I know it took us AGES to get Harry used to 'being restricted'!!!
On actually going outside our house, everything must have seemed so huge and noisy to him, we would tempt him along with treats...for the first month or so, I would pick him up and carry him around outside, introducing him to anything/everything (poor neighbourhood!!!)
We look forward to getting to know you, hope it all sorts itself out
Sally + Harry
