That sounds really good - I love the smell of Orange peel oil - if that works my house if going to get a whole new odour soon

Also, thanks mrsdusty. I am with the pup most of the time to redirect his attention elsewhere when he starts the chewing but, it's the times when he's on his own that I'm worried about. I don't really want to lock him into his crate at such a young age....I'm going to train him into that.

Hi,

There's absolutely nothing wrong with crate training a puppy as young as 8 weeks, the earlier you start the better. Crate training serves many purposes, one of which is prevent inappropriate chewing.

If introduced to a crate in the right way your puppy will see it as a positive, safe place to be. His own 'den like' space to chill out in.

Haha, I just put some lemon on my hand and tried it on the dog....he only wanted more didn't he!!!!

Thanks. I decided today to train him into staying in the crate. I've started feeding him in there and letting him out as soon as he finishes....over the next couple of weeks I'll increase the duration of his stay and hopefully get him up to 30 minutes.
