Answer #1

lol, uhm the squirting thing isnt too great with some puppies, some think it’s a game… well, I use time out with my cat, you can try it with your dog… he does something bad, you grab him and lock him up for a bit… of course all things must be done consistently…

Answer #2

Well, if they are within his reach, then it’s not really “stealing”…LOL

I assume that when he does steal, you yell his name, say things like “give that back”…even chase him around? Puppies LOVE attention…doesn’t matter if it’s good attention, or bad attention…He’s got a lot of energy, Laradoodles are also VERY smart. Have you tried obedience classes (good for socialization, and “thinking” can wear a pup out almost as good as a playing fetch…

Maybe try this…the next time he grabs something, ignore him…see if loses interest in whatever it was he stole, when he sees that you aren’t going to give him what he wants…(of course, if he’s got the remote, then that won’t work :)…)

Answer #3

get a colar that squirts water at him when you press a button on a remote control. so everytime he does it it squirts him. or for a cheaper option just get a squirter and do it manually.
