[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 303984, member: 1233"] I don't have any advice past what witz says. Bitter apple was something our idiot lab LOVED. At one point we put a teeny bit into her FOOD because she stopped eating. With the bitter apple she would scarf it all up! Even GRAVY and roast beef didn't entice her. Giving Ace a sense of purpose is a good idea. It really makes a dog feel like part of the family. Give him a job, even if it is just to follow instructions ten minutes a day. Seems silly but it works. also, you can pick up some metal flashing for roofs and bend it into tubes. THen you can put this around the table legs to protect them. I would go about 20 inches up with it at first. Also teach teh dog that being near the table is a no no. A trainer taught us that and it also keeps a dog from begging at the table. Be watchful with the nylabone. Several of my dogs, including the dachsund, destroyed these. There are bones made by greenies that are good for the teeth and can be destroyed with-o hurting the dog. Sweetie ate the ends off of even the large dog size nylabones. Our family lab/setter mix ate nylabones in less than an hour. Even the biggest ones only lasted that long. It was weird. Good luck with the new furniture. The crate training is a really good idea. [/QUOTE]
