My golden learned quickly that peeing was done outside and I had a very easy time training her about "go outside". Even when she'd start to pee, I'd pick her up and take her outside. I never had to use a rolled up paper to spank her bottom. She just seemed to know that inside was off limits.
As for chewing, I always had a few good toys for her to chew and made sure my closet doors were alwys closed and stuff like leather jackets and purses were put away and out of reach. She did love daddy's smelly socks, which is amazing to me...but she only chewed up one pair. She loved daddy's smell - cuz she liked to lick his feet, which was a hoot to see but not something that happened too often. She just learned more from the positive reinforcement than the negative and was a great dog.
What breed did you get??
