Train the dogs, set boundaries for the dogs, exercise your dogs and then sit back and enjoy your time with the dogs. Anything worth something takes time and effort.

SIMPLE.

@ Rural and rueful - No one is saying anything about putting a dog in a crate for 20 hrs....i mean who in their right minds think that would be ok.

If I'm home the dog is out. I get up a 5 in the morning run with the dog 5k, when i leave at 8am for work she does in the crate nice and fed and exercised. My wife lets her out at 4pm. at 7pm we go for another good run and play at the dog park near our house.

I don't think my dog has it bad at all. my other dog he has roam free in the house as unlike is sister doesn't get anxious during the day when we are not home and will not crew at something or try and raid the trash despite food and water being out for the entire day for them.

I would never lock up my dog for any longer during the day. Also my crate is almost three times the size of the dog and has lots of toys inside. so it's not like it is a confined space at all.

I do not understand how that is cruel in anyway.

Sadly living with dogs is like living with a three yer old for the 10-14 years of your life. And just like living with a three year old you have to move things from reach.

that said it all come down to training your dogs....you may loss some stuff till that happens but this appears to be the way life goes. they have to be caught to be corrected so if you keep everything away from them there are few chances for them to learn.

Secondly i found that my dogs rarely messed with my stuff when they were out and about when i was home. the real problem was when i left the house. Dogs gets anxious or bored and they will get in trouble. My simple solution was to crate train them so when i had to leave the house for any more then 30min by themselves they got locked up in the crate will i got home.

then again like people there are some dogs that just don't learn or are jerks in their own right but that is rare.

Problem is most of the time we treat animals like people and not like a dog. Know the mindset of your dog, of the pack mentality treat them as such, train your dog and more importantly train yourself.

do it right when they are puppies and you will have a great adult dog that is respectful of the stuff around them.

Oh an if all else fails call Cesar Millan.

Good luck!

Install some crown molding and seal off the top of the cupboards or have extra millwork (with doors) created for the top of the cabinets to store seldom used items....then all you do is clean door front along with the rest of your cupboards instead of a greasy-dusty mess.

you still have to keep all those CD even thought they now live in digital format, ideally in a binder that takes less space. Reason being is legal you can't have a copy of a file without having "proof of purchase" sure you can buy off of Itunes and if the cops a come Itunes has a record of sale but if you burn a cd without having an original copy still you can't legally have ownership of the digital copy.
