Thank you for your reply. I did try the treats and distraction, and it does work for about 30 seconds, until he notices I am away. It breaks my heart for him, but I have never had a dog (much less a PUPPY), so I just want to make sure I do this right. I dont want to be the owner of the unruly dog that everyone walks away and says "What a Bad/Spoiled/Rotten puppy". Ya know?
