1) Bucky Dog is adjusting well to our crazy house. In the beginning, he tore up the molding next to the door every time we went out of the house without him for more than five seconds. He settled down pretty well when I bought a thing that releases dog oxytocin or something into the air, though. He has a remarkable facility for pointing at, and ( Read more... )

I love dog stories! There's also a spray you can buy to put on areas where you don't want your dog to chew. I put Annabelle in a cage whenever I leave the house to run errands, go to class, etc. because she gets destructive as well. At least she used to. I don't know if she would anymore and I'm not going to risk it. It's cute how quickly dogs get attached to their new owners. Do you know what his mix is?

The spray wouldn't really work, because he was trying to dig out through the door with his claws instead of chewing at it. We were actually afraid to crate him because he hasn't been crate-trained at all yet, and we thought he might hurt himself trying to escape from the crate... But he's being really good now (knock on wood), so hopefully his good behavior will continue.

He is a Black Lab/Irish Setter mix. He's HUGE! I had only intended on getting a 40-50 lb. dog, and ended up with one twice that size. It's a good thing I hadn't originally intended on getting a Lab mix, or I'd've ended up with a Great Dane or something instead :P

What is the name of the thing you bought to chill him out? My dog is a nightmare. I'd love to get one.

Comfort Zone with DAP. (You might want to shop around---there are better prices elsewhere, though shipping and assorted costs might even things out some.)
