So I decided to give Rhys the benefit of the doubt, closed up the bedrooms, gated off the kitchen and left him out while we went shopping. He’s more than proven himself.

My new puppy!
This is Rhys, my new puppy! He’s absolutely fantastic. He loves to play but he calms down quickly when it’s time to chill. He listens to ‘no’, he knows how to sit, lay down, stay (for the most part), and wait (as in, wait until I set your food bowl down before eating). He’s potty trained (yay!). He loves his treats and his chew toys (thankfully; he managed to get the little loopy-leash at the Humane Society into his mouth and nearly chewed it through before I took it out of his mouth. He hasn’t chewed on anything but his toys!). He was an exceptional car passenger on the way home from the adoption center. He tugs some on the leash but he listens when you actively work on him walking nicely. He’s polite, he’ll ‘get down’ from the couch when asked, and ‘get out’ of a room as well.
