So...

[aureliaphoenix]

Last Monday I brought home a very calm and well behaved dog. And as the week has gone by he has turned into a little terror. I will not chill out, he isnt even fun to hang out with anymore. He just annoys me now. He will not sleep at night with everyone else, he stays up and chews things up. And that is why I am still awake. I guess, I will stay up

Go to walmart and buy him a kennel and crate train him. It's not too late. He'll raise holy terror, but eventually he will think of it as his home. I used to be against crate training, but Baggy LOVES her crate. It's her special place. Make it comfy, give him toys and leave it open whenever someone is home. When everyone is out or it's time for bed, in he goes. Everytime he goes in by himself, give him a treat. Eventally, he'll just go in when you tell him. Have patience and it will all work out. It's going to take about a month to get him used to his crate. But it'll be worth it in the long run. Promise.

I went to Walmart today and got a crate for Marcus. We will see how he does his first night, but so far it is working okay.

It is going to be a little difficult making potty times for him considering the dude and I have such weird and nonconsistant work schedules, but we are going to try and work on that as much as possible. I got some non chew spray stuff and put it on a few things and he instantly didnt want to chew them and I will try what you advised for things I dont want to spray. We also got a pinch collar thing for him and it is doing good. He is getting much better on the leash. I love my dog and after how much money I have spent on him so far, I will keep him and he will be a very good dog. :) Thanks. I will come by tomorrow and see if you are home.
