Problem with Nebo, help

[pessimisaurus]

haha ah yes, well, Id say read this: http://jamesandkenneth.com/PDF_docs/J&KBEFOREtext.pdf

theres a section (chapter 4, starts on page 30) about chew training and good ways to manage a puppy until its trained, you may find some helpful info in there, particularly with management. the ex-pen is my best friend. lol my board & train pups spend most of their time in there so as to avoid learning bad habits (as well as to teach them how to be alone, what to chew on, and to help with house training, etc). I dont know if the quiet spot is the only "illegal" chew issue youre having, but this book has tons of awesome info, even for experienced puppy owners.

the front room is a different issue, thats more a management problem it sounds like. you can try timeouts if shes never allowed in there ever. they are pretty simple, and generally only take a few days to work. all you do is as soon as she steps one foot in the off limits area you say "Too Bad!" and then go pick her up and put her behind the nearest door (closet, bathroom, bedroom, crate, etc) for *10* seconds. after 10 seconds, open the door, say ok! and let her back out. usually it takes 4-5 time outs at a time, for just a few days, and then they figure it out. its pretty amazing!

I think Amy if very aware of how to train a Husky.


Oh poor Bebo! How is he doing today, Amy?

Don't feel bad, who would have known that listerine would cause that?

Keva sounds like a typical Husky pup and I know with your great knowledge and experience with Huskies she will turn out just as wonderful as Bebo.

She's a stubborn little bugger. Nebo was a nawtee puppy in other ways, but he listened much better...she's fearless, nothing phases her.

LOL! She sounds like my Star! Fortunately we got our destructo-puppy girl out of that phase without too much damage all around. That stubborn streak is still with her! Sherman's so much easier to deal with. Maybe you've just got a little alpha on your hands- Look out, Nebo!LOL! You've done such a wonderful job with Nebo, Keva will turn out fine too.
