Whooo Hooooo!!!!!
Okay I've finally done it!!!!!! I've got the gas, snoring AND chewing to stop.
First off, the worst issue with the dog's gas. I called to vet to see what I coudl do and she was kind enough to tell me. The trick: banannas, and peanut butter. The banannas, will help the gas issue somehow (she went all tech on me so I just went "yeah, uh-hnu, okay, got it"), and the peanut butter to get him to take the friggin pills, she perscribed.
Next the snoring: one of those nasal passage strips. Sure he looks stupid, but, it's doing to trick. I figured if it works on humans, it might work on dogs, and sure enough it does. You just have to put it high enough on his nose.
And finally the chewing: the dry fire wih the mag was working until he caught on that nothing was coming out of the barrel. So now, I have a small towel on the end of the barrel and I am it at him. he does somethign wrong, I point the barrel in his general direction (sometimes I fire a shot to move the towel, but mostly I just have to pick up the gun and look at him)and he drops whatever he just picked up, or quits chewing what he shouldn't be chewing on.
Thanks to all of you who tried to help, I appreciate it, and it's still possible that if he acts up tomorrow before my parents get back I may still just lock him in the basement, throw him a little food. Then pray that he dosen't eat his way through the door, like he tried to do last night.
