Thank you very much,
We currently have a female pug chihuahua, TJ- she's about 7 and is absolutely perfect. Willie- the Boston Terrier we just got on Saturday and at one and a half- he's a hand full. I'm sure some of it is the fact that we're not used to puppies. TJ plays with him for about 20-30 minutes and then she's had enough.

He wants to play non-stop and never really settles down (even at bed time) I've been crating him during the day because we just don't trust him 100% yet. He still tends to pie in the house when no one is looking. So, we're trying to really train and calm him down. Morning walks for 30 minutes, evening walks and then non-stop playing just trying to get him to sleep throught the nights- even a kong doesn't interest him long enough. Since its only been a few days, we'll just keep trying the same process unless you think there's something that might work better?

Thanks for the advice on the roping off. I'll do that this weekend- its hard to show him the boundries of the gardens as they are covered with 5 inches of snow right now.

Thanks again for the advice!
Mariette
