[quote=Anonymous]Don't give a dog free range in a new home. This is less important since he's 2 years old already vs. a puppy, but the number one way people set their dogs up for a lifetime of bad habits is giving them too much freedom at first. My dog, for instance, has never chewed something like a shoe or another human belonging that she shouldn't have because she never had unsupervised access to shoes as a puppy. If you don't want to crate the dog for too long while away you can set up an x-pen, gated off area, or select a room that is their room and prepare it adequately. Once the dog has more time in your home and a track record of not ruining things, you expand its world. [/quote]
