I also had read of the leash training, and used it on Miss Gambler when she was a puppy, and it only took a few times because she hated to wear the leash indoors, who wouldn't? The logic is that they will not want to do anything wrong(and in Miss Gambler's case I mean destructive) while in your view. Think about it, all their mischief is discovered after the fact, while we have let our guard down and left them to their own devices, which will always get them in trouble. I will tell you this, do not take thes incidents personally or be disappointed in your dog. They are only doing what dogs do, and if you don't want them to do that particular thing, then it is up to you to train them, they do not train themselves, and it does take time, and an awful lot of paitence. Don't get frustrated, they aren't puppies for very long, sadly, and you will be having cases of puppy fever before you know it.
