I love crate training. Try the cheese exercise Bev. slice a tiny bit of cheese, get Ted to sniff and then hide the cheese. Go find Ted you say ! but direct him to the cheese so he associates cheese with 'find'. Then hide cheese somewhere in garden or house and go read a paper while he whiles away the time finding !...is the principle....hours of blissful rest and really knackers them out. also reinforces positive behaviour. I use it to track down tortoises in the garden sometimes, where lost. The tortoise reference is 'joey' and I say go find Joey and bobs your uncle ! but of course do not practice this at home is the message. My dogs don't do chews they have carrots - saved thousands over the years. he is sooooo adorable. I am so jealous. CB

postnote - sorry brothers dog is Ted ! and my fish named ED . love the name Teddy.
