During the day, this is Jax's favorite place to sleep. I don't know what he'll do when he gets too big to fit in there, but for now, it's really cute!
As a normal, mischievous puppy, Jax is constantly looking for new things to get into and loves to jump on the furniture (and children!). He is quickly learning the words, "Good potty!" and "Off!" We are going on 3 days without an accident! Yay!
Don't let this innocent face fool you! His favorite activity is stealing shoes and hiding them under my bed. Since he is only 15 pounds, he can still fit under there. And it's quite entertaining when he tries to lick Chewey in the face. She hates it and starts barking at him immediately. He then goes tearing around the living room and into our bedroom and shoots under our bed. Chewey follows him, but as she's too big to get under the bed, she shoves her head under there and barks at him until he runs out the other side and back out the door. Both tails are wagging the whole time. Very funny!
I'm not quite sure how he got under Maddie's princess chair, but he did. The places this dog can squeeze into!
Jax decided today he needed something off of the counter. I don't officially approve of this behavior, but I do think it is funny. But he will be trained! :)

Too funny and TOO CUTE!! Get a taller baby gate, unless you have the tallest one they make. We are still able to contain Marley in the kitchen when we are not home with our baby gate. He sleeps in a crate at night which works out really well. Good luck!
He stays in there fine at night. He sleeps on his bed until he needs to go out to potty. I actually was considering looking for a taller baby gate. I'll see what I can find.
We used to double up the gates, placing one above the other and kind of overlapping them a bit. Does that make sense? It's a pain, but it might do the trick. You just have to be sure to overlap them enough that if Jax jumps and pushes on the top gate with his paws, he can't knock the top gate down.
I'm a big believer in kennel training because we didn't do it with Peanut and learned the hard way because he was a monster. We did kennel train Max & Ruby and they are the best behaved dogs ever.
We ended up buying a taller gate, and he can't jump that one yet. :) I get training classes for free as a Petsmart employee, so as soon as we figure out a good day and time, he will be enrolled in that. I agree that kennel training can be wonderful, but Scott and I aren't sure that's what we want to do. We want him to have more room to move around during the day, and at night he's content in his area with the gate. So we'll leave it as is for now. Thanks for the advice!
I hear ya. Kennel training didn't seem so bad with Max and Ruby because I was a stay-at-home Mom when they were puppies. Now that I work part-time, we don't use the kennel much because I hate having them locked up so long and believe it or not, they behave themselves if we let them roam free...we just have to make sure there aren't any flip flops laying around!
