[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Golden Retriever. 18 months?! Wow, I had no idea. This is my first dog (obvious, probably!). I feel bad that he has to stay in this area, esp when my family goes upstairs for a little or in the basement for the kids to play, etc. he's dying to get more access. [/quote]

Well, maybe you could tether him to one of you when you go up or downstairs?  Or set up an ex pen downstairs for when you are down there?[/quote]

This is what I did with our dog when she was a puppy. I posted about it on dcum once and got attacked and called crazy for doing it (no big surprise though, right?). But it totally works. I kept the puppy on a leash and that way if I needed to rush her out to pee, I was ready. Also, if I saw her about to commit a crime (chew on something etc) I would jerk the leash, say NO! and redirect her. She's a dachshund and they have a reputation for chewing stuff, but she never chewed anything that didn't belong to her because I kept her by my side all the time as a puppy. [/quote]
