"Today we're going to be discussing your puppy's destructive chewing behavior. Chewing is easy to stop if you're consistent. The first, and most obvious step, is to take away temptation - that means putting shoes in closests, up off the floor, or removing them from paw's reach"

As I say the above spiel during my puppy classes, I will be holding up my dog training manual...... that has been completely shredded thanks to Harry.

Can I explain that training dogs not to chew is easier than training cats not to shred?

Who... ME???? Surely I am innocent!
