Toohey Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Do a search for crate training. Crates are the answer to practically every puppy issue there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicko Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I started Sunnie on a crate at 12 months old my parents old Cavalier who is now 6 was started on one when he was 4 no age is too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic2010 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 how about gluing the squares down so he can't lift them up. Just an alternative to the suggestions of crate training. Crate training is a very good thing to do though................ maybe do both things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 *Do not leave the pup out of your sight *when the pup starts bad behaviour tell him off then give him and alternative good behaviour (eg his bed with a toy) *glue the squares down better and spray them with bitter spray *give the pup more toys and cycle them to keep them interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can apple bitter spray be purchased from? Edited October 22, 2006 by Flying Penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 NEVER too old to crate train! BEST thing you will EVER do with your dog!! Good luck - i have a dog that has to be watched every second inside, it can be annoying!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 LOL sounds like pup is having a fantastic time!!!!! If it's not your idea of fun then go for a Crate or Puppy Pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttaburra Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yeah, as all have said in above posts. It's important because the glue could be toxic to the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugerfly Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Beagles are renowned for eating weird stuff. My friends beagle has injested a choker chain, a lead, socks, tennis balls, you name it. Never too old for a crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
