Not! Although he is a really good boy, Chip has had NO training, and he still puppy bites very hard. Also, the destruction tally is currently at one shoe, and one glass jar.
Training is going pretty well, except trying to get him to stay in his crate while I leave the house was a disaster yesterday. So we are going back to very basics. Also, we need to stop this incipient separation anxiety before it starts.
At least I have something to do! He at least knows his name now.
Saw the podiatrist yesterday. I am now officially out of the boot, and he's pretty happy with my progress. I am making a point to do all my physical therapy at home, otherwise I will be in a world of hurt when I go back to work.
Finally heard Chip bark yesterday. He desperately wants to play with grouchy old Dinah, and thinks that barking at her while she stares him down will do the trick. He'll probably end up with a nice scar on his nose for his troubles.
I just need to remember my patience, and that it's not his fault he's a big dumb puppy. He'll grow out of it.
