Thanks for all of your suggestions, this dog is really smart! I have tried several different things and every time i set him up to get caught he is an angel, But we are now signed up for obedience training and have looked into the buster cube, I cant find them where i am but thought about it and took a 2 liter bottle removed the cap and little plastic thingie and put food in it and then crushed it. This has kept him pretty busy for a little while, and i have tried the kong but he just gives up on that. But i think because of the sound of the bottle and being able to see the food in it is a good thing for him.

What about long walks? My puppy can play fetch for an hour and still be getting into stuff if we're not paying attention, but a brisk walk and she's out like a light. I've also read that just playing/running around in the yard isn't enough for a dog, that it needs to be walked a few times a week as well, if not every day.

we do try to get out every morning but some times i doesnt happen ,my husband works out of town sometimes and i cant leave my daughter by herself and taking her is not an option with him, i would like to train him to walk on the tread mill, but i'm not sure that i can get him to do that.
