[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 479454, member: 11791"] What kind of dog is he? Sounds like he's got working-dog blood. Which means, smart. Which means... either YOU give him real jobs to do that keep his brain going, or HE will come up with things to do. Start clicker training. Teach him basic commands... down, sit, stay (that one's hard), then tricks... shake a paw, beg (no, don't do that one until he's REALLY good at obedience). And you need really good treats to do that with. But "good" to a dog, and "good" to a dog-treat maker, are not the same thing. Best one we've found? Buy cheap chicken wieners, and chop them up - lenthwise, then crosswise into 40 or 60 pieces per weiner. Keep in container in fridge. Then teach him on and off (of, say, a rubbermaid stool). Through a hoop (not jumping, until over 1.5 years), between your legs, weaving between poles. Walk nice on leash. Jobs... depends on what breed(s)... [/QUOTE]
