Answer 1

There are covers you can put over electrical cords to stop puppies from doing any damage if they happen to chew for them. As for your piano, if possible, close the door and do not allow your puppy access to that room.

As for your room, clean it up! You will need to puppy proof your house and remove anything that the puppy can chew on or move it to somewhere he can't reach. If you are not prepared to put in the work to do this, then you are not ready to own a dog.

Answer 2

be aware- that kind of attack can only work against you if: 1- you are unaware of the attacker, 2- you are a drooling vegetable in a hospital- in which case the piano wire is a bit much and a simple removal of the feeding tube might be more appropriate. I've never been in that situation so i really wouldn't say with any certainty how to defend it- unlike a regular chokehold there is really little you can do to attack the thing offending your neck and the guy will have more leverage (if he/she/it) knows what they are doing than someone throwing an RNC as they can also press you into it from a better position.

Answer 3

Dogs aren't born automatically knowing what is acceptable to chew on or not. They have to be taught. You don't leave the dog alone around your stuff when you are not there. Read about and use a crate correctly for training (it's not forever--it's just a great training tool). If your dog attempts to touch something, tell it NO and give it a toy to play with. Have lots of good dog toys laying around it can play with. Supervise, train, and have lots of patience. And also try to lock up your valuables in containers which are hard to get into and chew. Wires can be run through PVC piping to help hide from chewing.

Answer 4

If you have so many small things that could pose a choking hazard and can't be store somewhere else then don't get a dog

Dogs often love to chew on things at times and damages is one of the pitfalls of dog ownership I have still some chewed up baseboards, scratched up doors and a 3 months old coffee table with scratches from one deciding it made a good bridge, I had a kitchen linoleum floor ripped up and shredded , had holes chewed through drywall walls, woke up to mangled eyeglasses had to replace electrical cords on a few items have a computer cable that is partly chewed through right now, I had a leather sofa set chewed up another one torn from nesting, my bedroom suite once had square corners now has rounded corners, bedsheets torn, mind you this was not all done by one dog, but one I had made a better termite than a dog I had left the house for about 4 hours to come home to several thousand in damages from that point on he was crated when ever I left the house to minimize the damage he could do, some dogs will not chew anything but may scratch things, and others may be power chewers , I have never yet raised pup that did not do at least a tiny bit of damage while learning, once they grow up some and learn the rules of the house many outgrow the chewing, but you many have others that are worriers and get anxious that use chewing to calm themselves. Even my best ones have still left scratches on hardwood floors or cut themselves and left spots of blood on the rugs, or you might have a time when a dog has diarreaha and more often than not a rug gets christened, and you will occasionally muddy footprints and of course have dog hair dust bunnies chasing you around, there will be hair on your clothes and even in your food at times, they may decide to go rummaging thru a laundry hamper and prance out while you have company carrying your undies, or they will come running out of the bathroom dragging an unravelling roll of toilet paper after them. Life with dogs can be interesting at times, funny, humorous, embarssing and can test your patience at others I currently have 4 dogs I would not trade them for the world most days they are pretty good but if a lot a wet weather of has been very cold out they are getting restless and than it can be like having toddlers the minute you turn your back and are busy they will be finding ways to amuse themselves, Of course one is still a pup so pretty good to me who has dogs for most of my life but to someone with their first he may seem like he was spawned by the demon at times

Answer 5

Looks like you will need to wait to get a dog when you learn to clean up your mess.. If you can't clean up the wires and the old homework under your bed, and whatever else is under there... You'll have to wait til you are more disciplined.

Answer 6

All you have to do is make him a easy area for him/her to be able to be away from the mess and all the wires and piano. Keep him MORE interested with toys to play with and toys you don't need to play with him/her with so you won't allways need to pay SUPER close attention to him/her.

Answer 7

Please don't get a dog. You will be disappointed daily if you are that worried about your things.
