Someone on here had mentioned that it takes about 3 months for a new dog's true personality to come out... they were right

Today I came home to find that Caper had chewed up some newspaper left on the coffee table and part of the fringe on couch. And I thought I was lucky to have a naturally well-behaved dog! Haha!

It's crating for him then! And all the corners of the walls, doors, furniture are now covered in bitter apple just to be safe. I brought the crate back out today, but I've already trained him to the point that he happily goes into the crate and lies in there periodically throughout the day to chew on a toy and take treats but now we will have to work on building up the time that he is left in there from a few minutes to a few hours.

He is still sleeping outside at night, as he prefers the cool floor and sleeps through the night without trouble (knock on wood).

Ah, tomorrow will be an interesting day
