  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

So yesterday the boy ate my couch. Not the whole thing as I only turned my back for five minutes but he took a chunk. Now I am not naive enough to believe he won't destroy his fair share of furniture but I believe he humbled me yesterday. He reminded me that no matter how hard you work at this it's still a learning process. He was quickly corrected and denied access to the couch for a very long time to come but I have a feeling this is only the beginning. How old was your Corso when it stopped eating shoes, furniture, etc...

Oh man! Well Jax is 1 1/2 and still going strong! Today while getting ready...he managed to get ahold of a jar of peanut butter, take off the lid and consume half the jar before I busted him. I came downstairs and knew something was up. He immediately dropped to the floor with his ears back and his bad dog face on lol He tells on himself every time. I found the evidence in the living room. I should have known...he was being too quiet...but I thought he was asleep!

OMG that is funny. Peanut Butter my dogs Kryptonite! They can be in any room throughout house and if the pb lid is turned they come running full tilt, yet any other jar and no sign of them. On the couch issue do not know quite what to say as my new pup is only 6 weeks and wont be coming home until likely 5 months old as being trained first. Do all corsi have this tendency?

I got lucky with Kryten, the only thing he destroys are his toys. Jiggers however still grabs whatever he can get his mouth around, and you'd be surprised at what he can pickup, then proceeds to destroy it either by himself or enticing Kryten into a game of tug. I lose a lot of socks that way.

I have spent all day distracting him. He will do anything for peanut butter. My daughters think it's hilarious to give it to him. My danes ate the couch and so I wasn't surprised by it I just thought I was being observant enough clearly that was not the case. My hope is that this teething thing happens quickly it's tough to be mad at the little guy, (bahaha, he's not so little really) when I know his gums hurt. We are using frozen wash clothes today. Does anyone have any suggestions on teething toys for a huge mouth? I'm afraid he'll choke on his teething ring now he can fit the whole thing in his mouth.

I hate when silence reigns we have six children and regularly we look at each other and say, "It's too quiet in there..."
