Thank you all for your advice, I thought that I would give you a little update on Reilly. Slowly but surely I have been trying to work with him, the trade off is going great!!!!! I have always been able to take his food or bones or toys out of his mouth, but now when its something he is not supposed to have, we do a trade, you were so right, he is so much more willing to give mommy the "bad" stuff...lol We make sure things are picked up we were doing that before, but sometimes he would get things from outside or out of the trash...lol thanks again for the advice and i will keep you posted.
