Oboy, puppy shit squished between your toes in the middle of the night....you're gonna love it! Puppies are awesome, I wish I could have one around all the time. Nothing wrong with adult dogs of course, but puppies are special.

Honestly I can't wait for him to be an adult. He is a great puppy but I have to micromanage him all freakin' day. It'll be nice when I can let him go cruise the yard solo and not worry about him chewing the tops of my sprinkler heads off anymore.

don't worry they never really outgrow that!

I sure hope he does! I mean seriously, I hook him up with the best of the best in dog toys imaginable and he scoffs at them. He will act interested in them for roughly 5 seconds to make me think that he is cool and then I'll walk away. Then like a flash he is back to attacking the couch, eating some rocks, or going after his old friend the sprinkler head.

I'd just buy more rocks and sprinkler heads, forget the expensive toys!

couches are free on craigslist, get him his own for outside

I like that idea....but I don't want my boy coming back inside with some pube jumpers and pubic hairs all over him from Jimbo's latest freak fest on his couch just prior to putting it on Craig's.

Update to this thread! My boy is growing like a weed! He is already over 20 pounds! He is cute as ever but is going through the biting stage. He is chewing my hands up!

My lab was a bitter too. I broke that by basically making her bite her own lip each time she bit me.

When he bites you, just wrap his upper lip under his top teeth. That way. if he keeps biting, he will bite his own lip too. That obviously hurts them and quickly stops the problem.

Here's a quick video of the technique.
