As most of you know, when you are training a new puppy in the house, one technique you can use is tethering. You simply connect the puppy to a leash and attach the leash to a human. Under this system, the human can keep very close supervision of the puppy and keep the youngster out of trouble.
Of course, the whole idea is that at some point the puppy matures and no longer needs to be tethered because it has learned proper behavior in the house.
I want my Attorney at Claw.
I better not hear snickering out there.
P.S. – Updated after a reader question. Yes, these pictures are from last night. Typhoon is normally free to roam the house like everyone else. Let’s just say he seems to be going through a teenager phase at the moment – right down to the pout when he gets caught.

Frum our pack at love is being owned by a husky
Mom often wonders when exactly IS that magic age when one is no longer a puppy:)

Poor Typhoon (the expression is PRICELESS!) Personally, I found tethering almost TOO successful with my latest shelter dog – an adult retriever mix. It made for a very “bonding” experience and I now have a VERY Velcro dog. (And it’s been occasionally frustrating for my very Velcro Dobergirl, who wants to be JUST as close as they compete for that coveted spot next to the mama on the sofa!)
I was just thinking that if I had that huge yard, I would give him the heave-ho for a while, but then thought, no, he would probably dig a huge hole and be on his way!

Ah, but then you have the body slamming against the sliding glass doors and the screams of indignation. Trust us, he is a master.
If looks could kill! Faolan might be getting this treatment soon, as he decided to attempt to dissect the arm of a couch last night…
I had to snicker. Lol. What a teenager. đ
I do the same with all of mine. It’s such a good way to train, much to the pups dismay. A refresher course is always better than allowing an unwanted behavior to progress. Typhoon is one cool dog! Time and patience…. : )
That look Typhoon is giving you! If looks could kill…
He’s got that teenage glare down too, I see!
Mom sez: This isn’t STILL happening, is it? I hope this is just from when he first came to live at your house. Isn’t he past all this now?
These pictures were from last night. He is usually free to roam the house, but last night was, well, one of those nights.
I had to be tethered, too, Ty, when I first came here. I’m pretty good now…
