[quote=Anonymous]Because it involves the puppy- I would get him involved in fixing the damage. If that isn't possible, I would let him know that he needs to take on extra household chores because you have to deal with the damage. I wouldn't take away priveleges as much as I would (at least temporarily) add responsibilities. I think the message will be more positive. I would also explain that dogs are like babies- they don't know any better and it's our responsibility to care for and protect them. That means that we cannot be impulsive or forgetful- they absolutely depend on us. 7K is awful-- it may be a great learning experience for your son, but I feel for you. [/quote]
