Question 16 |
Dear Mr Rayson,
My name is Ken Holland and I am writing to you about my dog Jasper. I know you are a highly respected dog trainer and I wonder if you might be able to help me. Jasper keeps chewing and tearing the furniture in my house. He used to be such a good dog. 2 years ago, he didn't use to do it but now during the night, he rips the furniture to pieces.
Before writing to you, I had tried everything to stop him, but nothing had worked. It is really annoying my wife and I just don't know what to do. Should I shout at Jasper when he misbehaves? Maybe I should make him live outside the house.
It may be that I am doing something wrong. He gets plenty of exercises. I walk him every morning before work and every evening when I come home. I will really appreciate any help you can give me. Please, let me know what I must do to stop him from tearing the furniture. My wife says I should take him to the animal shelter, but I don't want to do that.
Thank you for your time.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
