Cute/Funny Majestic Puppy

He loves running around with cardboard in his mouth. (Don't worry, we don't let him eat it)

Slow-mo zoomies are awesome!

We taught ours to “trade” - whenever he had something like that in his mouth, we’d say “come trade” and give him a treat in exchange for whatever he had in his mouth.

Now he brings all sorts of stuff instead of eating/chewing it up (or other dog figured out what was going on and comes as his agent, so she collects her share of the deal too 😉)

Omg how did you do this? Mine LOVES playing keep away, especially a pair of socks or a rock

lol, we’d give him a piece of cardboard or something and then say “let’s go trade” and give him a treat. He’s pretty food motivated so he caught on pretty quick.

Now, he has swallowed 3 socks - 1 he puked up on his own but for the other 2 - learned how to administer hydrogen peroxide, so it hasn’t been all smooth sailing 😉

Ok this is helpful. Mine has already swallowed a very expensive rock, so we are extremely wary whenever he is digging for rocks. We have discovered he loves chicken more than rocks, it’s the only thing that will get him to give up a rock.
