Hi everyone ...Again, I have questions about how to get Jake to be good lol. He is old enough now to jump on chairs, and from there on tables
I usually just let him, lol I'm bad too...But I live with my dad and he is very grossed out by this, even though he has never jumped on the one table that we actually eat on..You know how it is, he is my baby and I would never be grossed out by anything he does, but it's not so with other people...So Jake is not allowed out of my room until a solution is found!
So- I read that it's best to put sticky tape on top of tables or aluminum foil. I am just about to put aluminum foil on, but I want to know: how long is it going to take for him to know not to get on top of the tables without foil??? I am asking because my dad might get ticked off that there is always foil on the table..It's not going to be a big deal, I just hope that a few months will teach him...
Also: I am getting him soft paws soon...when he gets old enough. How good are they at preventing scratched up rugs?? He is starting to scratch really badly on carpets. I have a scratching post for him but it's really hard to teach him because we have hardwood floors and rugs are in sort of random places, he likes to scratch all of them....Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
