(Please note: The following questions are related to a specific reading passage, available solely before the first question. Remember, referring back to the reading text while answering the questions may be helpful to ensure accuracy.)
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.
Ken Holland
