My Golden Retriver Puppy chew Many Times Sofa,furniture and chairs what i should do ?

thats why my mom dont like him

he is 3 months old

My golden retriever puppy chewed constantly when I first took him home. However, I got an antichew spray and liberally sprayed everything he wanted to chew that wasn't a toy, then bought him a lot of suitable puppy toys. This worked. Now, if he chews anything unsuitable, he gets a blast of pet corrector air over his head. This also works. You can get pet corrector spray for about £7 from Company of Animals, and anti-chew spray from most good pet stores. Any strongly spicy or bitter sauce would work equally well, but might damage the furniture. A bottle filled with stones and thrown to the side of the puppy (never hit the puppy as he doesn't realise he's doing wrong).

For toys, avoid any stitched stuffed toys or squeaky toys: golden retrievers are excellent at destroying these in minutes. Instead, nylabone chews (I would never give my puppy any other plastic chews as the other types are dangerous), knotted rope toys, petstages and kong toys are all good options. Given his age, cardboard rolls (eg from kitchen rolls) would also be fun toys. As an occasional treat, crisp raw vegetables (especially carrots) are good, provided you check they're not poisonous first. Personally, I stick to carrots, as most other types give Brodie (my puppy) stomach upsets. Ice cubes are also fun toys (but only in rooms with no easily damaged items).

Unsuitable toys that must NEVER be given to a puppy include:

sticks: these break off and can cause abcesses. If swallowed they cause internal damge and will kill your puppy if he is not promptly operated on by a vet.

rawhide: this breaks off when wet with saliva, gets swalloed and swells up inside the dog, killing him

plastic toys other than those made by reputable companies: if it's plastic and not made by nylabone, petstages, company of animals (kongs) or orbee, don't buy it. Many plastics have sharp edges when chewed and can hurt your dog.

anything that squeaks: I use squeaky tennis balls made by kong, but anything else that's squeaky is to be avoided at all costs. Goldens will not rest until that squeaker is killed (this usually takes less than fifteen minutes).

Also, put your dog on a long line (string or rope will do nicely) so that if he chews furniture, you can give his collar a sharp tug and release, teaching him to avoid furniture. This also allows you to keep him within a safe distance of you.

Finally, crate train that puppy. Puppies that have been crate trained are fastest to be house-trained (less than seven days usually: Brodie took two days), are calmest and are the only puppies that can be left unsupervised for more than half a second. If he's not in a crate you cannot let your eyes off him for even a second. Golden retriever puppies are incredibly strong, enthusiastic chewers. However, after his adult teeth come in at five months, he will settle down, and eventually, he will not chew at all, except for his chew toys, which he will need all his life.Do not lose hope: you puppy will eventually calm down and become a wonderful dog.

Oh, and play with your puppy as much as possible, and take him for walks (although no more than 30 minutes a day unless your vet says otherwise). Tired puppies are good puppies. Badly behaved puppies are usually needing more exercise and games. Try training him to do basic obedience (sit, down, stand and stay) or to fetch tennis balls and other toys. Goldens need mental exercise as well as physical. Good luck.

black mold legal issues?

Hi, me and my mother moved to a new house about 2 months ago, and realised there was black mold on the window seals. Then last tuesday we found a mushroom growing out of mold around the toilet and decided it was time to start taking action. Now i am leaving the house, because i have a history of respirtory problems. On top of that this morning i went to wash my futon and pulled its cover off and the entire bottom of it is covered in black mold.
I'm going to the hospital tomorrow. we have started to take pictures of the mold in different areas. The landlord's were aware of the mold and sprayed one of the vents and said that took care of that and all our of things have been exposed to black mold and we might have to get rid of all our things we are considering taking legal action for the health problems and damages has anyone been through something similar to this

move out as fast as you can.

i would also suggest that you ring the Real Estate AGents that you are leasing from or purchased from and ask them if they can provide you with the contact number for the Health Inspector and get him/her to come out pronto and inspect your house.

If exposed to elevated levels of indoor mold, some or many residents and workers can experience one or more of most common, mold health symptoms: allergies, asthma, bleeding lungs, breathing difficulties, cancer, central nervous system problems, recurring colds, chronic coughing, coughing up with blood, dandruff problems (chronic) that do not go away despite use of anti-dandruff shampoos, dermatitis, skin rashes, diarrhea, and/or; Eye and vision problems, fatigue (chronic, excessive, or continued) and/or general malaise, flu symptoms (chronic), sudden hair loss, headaches, hemorrhagic pneumonitis, hives, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, irritability, itching (of the nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin or any other area), kidney failure, learning difficulties or mental dysfunction or personality changes, memory loss or memory difficulties; and/or Open skin sores and lacerations, peripheral nervous system effects, redness of the sclera (white of your eyes), runny nose (rhinitis) or thick, green slime coming out of nose (from sinus cavities), seizures, sinus congestion, sinus problems, and chronic sinusitis, skin redness, sleep disorders, sneezing fits, sore throat, tremors (shaking), verbal dysfunction (trouble in speaking), vertigo (feelings of dizziness, lightheadedness, faintness and unsteadiness), and vomiting……. gaaah, what a flaming scary list that is hey……. i moved out of a house contaminated with mold 2 months ago and i'm positively leaping out of my skin with energy whereas when we lived there i was always flagging in energy, my two littlies had constant ear nose and throat infections, my little girl's hair started coming out in big handfulls, my bones were always aching, my husband was constantly getting colds ……. freaking mold is so very bad for your health luv ….they prolly painted straight over it …… that's clearly why they did a new paint job on the one i moved out of just before we moved in …….. check the drains in the bathroom tub and sink too ……….. could very well be a bacterial or moldy growth in there ……. check all your drains and put a cup of bleach down it and close the door to that room and open the window to air it and leave it overnight to torch the vitality and health destroying bacteria.

good luck

peace baby

I have an old house with small doorways and narrow halls. How do I find a sofa and loveseat to fit?

I just returned a sofa and loveseat to my local furniture store because the delivery people couldn't get them into our family room. The store says they don't have any sofas small enough to fit through my narrow doorways. They recommended I get a futon, but that's really not my style. I would like something more formal. Any suggestions?

I think you have to locate some period furniture that fits into the dame age as the doorway.

Try one of those World Market too. Some foreign stuff might just suit your style. You have to innovate to make it look good.

A last suggestion is for one that can be assembled inside your house.
Or a custom built one.

Is it possible to have sofas professionally cleaned?

I have a set of microfiber sofas and chairs. Have only had them for about a year and I already feel like I need to scrub them. Is there a product out there that you would recommend? Is it possible to have them professionally deep cleaned? Tips and advice please…

you can have them professionaly cleaned. i try to have mine done at least once a year and i have the microfiber kind too. however it can be pricing and if you do i recommend a well known place not some single guy who does it on the side. but i cost me about i think it was 45 for my love seat and 65 for my couch but they did a great job. or you could go to walmart and buy the bissel proheat carpet shamppoer for like 125 bucks and do it yourself whenever i just got mine like 3 months ago and i absolutley love it i will never pay to have it done again. i hope this helps

Furniture Poll: What do you call the piece that most consider a Sofa?

I've heard it called a Sofa, Couch and also Davenport. Which made me curious to know if it may have originated in Davenport IA or if maybe there was just a furniture maker there that people often bought sofas from. So what do you call it?

i call it a bed
