Blanket works! He may cry for a few mins but he'll calm down. ... give him a puppy kong and fill it with puppy kong filler. Its in an ezcheese type can right next to the kongs at petco or where ever

with my lab I cut up hot dogs in small pieces then over cooked them in the microwave. Be sure to put a paper towel over the top so they don't splash on the inside of the microwave. But dogs love them I would make a bunch and put them in a plastic bag to use throughout the day

1- Puppy Kong with peaunut butter- cheaper than the commercial stuff. Occupies time like crazy.
2-Frozen ALPO hidden goodness- made up in small bite sized bits.
3-Milkbone crunchy goodness, great for training treats.
4-Apple bits, carrot bits are good as well.

Get ready for 'teething season'..

my dog never would eat peanut butter, but cream cheese she loved.

Read Water Dog

Treats? He is a lab which equals a walking stomach.....they will eat anything. Mine ate 4 large rose bushes, thorns and all when it was a puppy.

Just get it lots of chew toys to meet its daily chewing quota.

Get an old alarm clock, the kind that ticks. Wrap it in some towels where he likes to lay. Sounds like a beating heart... Worked for our Golden Retriever several years ago. We also covered the kennel with blankets at night.
