Hi all! Our iggy just turned a year old and while his destructive behavior has gotten better he still finds our couch delicious? I’ve tried everything, he gets daily walks, he goes to daycare when we are working, I have puzzle toys, Kong toys, every sort of chew, he has dog door access etc but every so often we are out of the house for slightly too long and he has slowly destroyed our couch. Any other tips or tricks for avoiding this? We are obviously wanting to buy a new couch at this point but not if he’s going to continue to rip it apart.

I’m looking to become a first time dog owner and am seriously considering getting an iggy. But when I saw these 2 male iggys from the same litter I’m now thinking whether I should be getting both of them. I’m concerned that since I don’t have experience training or owning a dog, I won’t be able to effectively handle 2 iggy pups at the same time. Also I have cats in my household and I think getting both might be too much for my cats. Please help me figure out the pros and cons! The pups are around 5 months old. Thank you everyone!

Is anyone iggy not scared of fireworks? My puppy and I were hanging outside last night and big bomb like fireworks were going off and he didn’t even flinch. He’s not scared of thunder either. This is his first Fourth of July so we will see tonight how he reacts to the constant sound but I think he won’t care tbh. My boxer on the other hand is terrified but he shakes when it rains so lol

UPDATE: he did not care about the fireworks and actually slept through them.
