Boy, can I relate. We have TWO Golden puppies that are almost 7 months old. They can reach anything, are curious beyond belief and are very food motivated AND they are still puppies. We have them in classes, use a personal trainer once a week and they are very well behaved, however, they are still puppies and lose their minds occasionally. I have my sewing room gated off for that very reason. Too many things they can destroy, or can destroy them. They will grow up, they will grow up, they will grow up LOL
