Ooooo! A PUPPY! Give him a kiss from me.

I had a yellow lab many years ago, who chewed up EVERYTHING. My maple bedstead still has his little teeth marks on it, as do some books. I was bemoaning the chewing to a friend who noted that he had a yellow lab once who didn't chew their stuff, but would bring stuff home from neighboring houses.

"One day," he said, "he brought home a muffler from a '57 Mercury and buried it in the back yard. We often wondered what he did with the rest of the car."

Sorry, I can't speak to discipline as such, because my method is usually, "Oh, sweetie, please don't do that!" I admire people who can instill good behavior in their pets. Good luck!
