Thread Name: BS: Help! New puppy!
Subject: RE: BS: Help! New puppy!
We have already started him on the leash, and with basic commands. He seems to understand Sit, although it may be just a coinkydink; and he seems like he's catching on to petting-stops-when-I-bite. He has done very well on the leash so far because he wants to follow the other dog!

I don't think he's actually biting so much as he is just putting his mouth on me. But it hurts!

He tries to chase the kitty, too, but kitty hisses at him, and gets in a high place. Thumper has been remarkably tolerant for an elderly cat; then again, he's had at least one dog around all his life.

We tried the pennies in the soda can with dear departed Zenith. Didn't faze her a bit. She responded better to the wittholding of attention.

I'm off in search of lockless keys. :-)
