The Object of my Affection...

I love whatever this thing is. Jenn and Eric fiddle with it at night and I want to eat it. They won't let me touch it, which is very frustrating. They keep it out of my reach. Once, they left it on the couch and then left the room. I quietly put it in my mouth and took it over to my bed. Wouldn't you know that Jenn found me there slobbering on it. She gave me a treat for letting go of it. Hmph! No fun. I guess I'll just have to keep a lookout for absent minded folks that leave things lying around for puppies to find. You can make it easy for your puppy by keeping gadgets like this up, up and away. Don't leave them on the coffee table or on puppy's level. If your puppy does get something that doesn't belong to them, don't chase them (which would create even more instant fun for puppy!). Be calm, get a treat or a toy and play "trade for something better". Your puppy will learn that it's rewarding to give things to you. Jenn says they make a product called "Bitter Apple" that you can spray onto things that you don't want your puppy to touch. Very effective in my case. Yuck!
