[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 479668, member: 84"] I know due to breeds, that's he's a big dog........errr baby. BABY. Big baby. But he's still very much a baby. Also due to breeds, that boy is going to need to be exercised in some sort of heavy duty way at least 2-3 times per day for at least an hour each time. You need some baby rules. No food on the counters AT ALL. Baby is crated during all feeding times, including snacks. Include that baby is crated during cooking times too. (keeps him from snitching while you're busy) Keep trash can empty or in a room baby is not allowed to enter. (PITA but at least you're not cleaning it up a zillion times a day) Not sure what the peeing on your feet is unless he's trying to mark you as his?? Get thee to the nearest Pet store and look for this huge plastic balls, they're hard and hallow and great for "herding" as in soccer.......as in you roll it and let him herd it until he's exhausted. lol Molly used to do hers for HOURS. Now only about 15 mins at a shot but she's old now. The balls aren't cheap, but ours has lasted 9 yrs and it's good as new. So you get your money's worth and then some. Raw hides or beg the butcher for some big beefy bones you can boil up for him to gnaw on instead of everything else. You can try the kongs and peanut butter......but my dogs all look at me like I've lost my mind and refuse to play with it. lol Walks.........with some running thrown in for good measure. Have the kids teach him to fetch a ball and throw it to him for about a half hour at a shot. You've got lots of baby energy to burn off. LOTS. Molly is a Shepard ridge-back mix and the first 3 years it was like having a new kid in the house. To some extent our days centered around her training, her exercise, and her playtime just so we could make sure she stayed out of trouble. It was worth it though. Molly is the best dog I've ever known, with Rowdy taking a close second. [/QUOTE]
