juckler123 707 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 My dogs have always lived in as pups and the pintching food i can live with a good lurcher should be an oppertunist its a case of making sure he cant get to anything. As for the chewing of toys better to learn him that he cant touvch anything he wants every time you see him try let him know in no uncertain terms hes doing wrong he will click in the end plus before you leave him give him a decent workout they dont pine so much if theyve had attention and are tired from a walk.
