thats good to hear, right now mine chews on everything(gotta buy new flip flops) and eats shits and pisses ALOT, more then my other dog did as a pup

[gixxerboy1]

they are smart dogs. So it will take a little training if you just got it. Boy or a girl?

Congrats on a little puppy doggie! Male? takes longer from my experience. Are you crate training?

[RaginCajun]

yes, i had one when i was a child. very loyal dogs and smart. you have to spend a lot of time with it training it and like slim said, males take longer. we are more stubborn!

closest i have is a female chocolate lab. excellent family dog!

Had a GR when I was younger. Great dogs.. very smart and was very friendly to all n gentle with children. One of the best breeds for a family, as long as you don't mind lots of hair.

BINGO! the difference is incredible. My females learn everything in about 3 days. NO chewing. NO more house training. NO marking all over the place when out and about. NO barking at every single little leaf that falls off a tree.
BUT.....GREAT at watching in alert mode with EARS UP while my females just snooze....

No crate training! hes just going to sleep with me and my other dog and run around the house as he pleases, weve always let our dogs do that, never had a problem with them after training them on the no no's haha
