[Steve Trevor is a smart guy. He knows how to do a lot of things. (And if you don't believe that, he's got some stories he can tell you.) But this? This has him more than a little out of his depth.]

So we could use a little help. Does anyone know anything about training a puppy? [It turns out that even doing all the research into how to do it doesn't make much of a difference when faced with the reality.

The puppy in question pokes his head into the frame, a shoe dangling from his mouth, before disappearing again. Steve disappears too, presumably rescuing the shoe from its would-be destroyer.]


That is not a toy! [He sits back down to address the camera again.]

He'll supposedly grow out of it, but first everything we own has to make it to that point.

[There's a crash in the background, and the sound of something breaking.]

Apollo, no! [Steve yells after the dog before getting up to chase after him, and the video turns off.]

Haven't had a dog, or a puppy, in a long time....but I'm gonna go ahead and say - just from what I know in general food is like a major motivator.

[Yep, she is definitely thinking about Josh...and Nora...and all of the werewolves in her life and how every single one - even her for a time - used food to control behavior.]

Maybe set something out that he can chew on - food/treat an indestructable toy with like...I don't know - food or a treat or something- inside to give a yes while you take away the no to help him learn what to chew on? Totally not an expert, again, just a thought!

Post if it help sat all because, I'm not going to lie, I'd be curious as to how much it might help!
