Keep the toilet lid down when not in use. Refill his feeding bowl with fresh water twice a day. Get a pet fountain or feeding bowl with water dispenser (especially if you’re not at home during the day).

It was even more difficult than I expected. George was not exactly the easiest puppy to train. Like most puppies, he is energetic, curious, impatient, naughty, and sometimes he does things that can really try your temper. In two months, George has managed to destroy at least 6 (if i'm counting right) of our slippers, there are 2 large holes on the wall, and the kitchen counter has been badly chipped and chewed on. I am so thankful that my husband is supportive about it and helps me out in every way he can. Although he wasn't too enthusiastic about bringin...
