She's no puppy. In fact, she's 12 or 13. Over the past couple of years, she's been in a crate for a little bit. Some of the other times she's had someone here with her. I'm going to try the crate training again, but it's stressful for her which makes it stressful for my wife which makes it stressful for me and sometimes it's just not worth it... it's easier to try to doggy-proof better. I don't think she'll really eat a couch, but sometimes I wonder :) Yeah, I guess I could re-arrange my schedule and get some exercise for both of us before I go to work too. Since it's my wife's dog (the two cats are mine), I'll let her know what you said about the exercise :) I’ve tried the crate training, and it just hasn’t worked. She’s no puppy.

It will save you a ton a money on chewed up shoes, furniture, etc. 2) Exercise, exercise, excersize. A tired dog is a good dog. About the chocolates, put them somewhere s/he can't get em!! :) My dog is priceless...But I try to keep my dog in mind with everything I do...which means, keeping dangerous things away, putting the treats high up, or just leaving him in the crate when I'm not sure...
