Okay... best recourse for a climber like this: Hot wire. Before you think "Oh how cruel" --- trust me on this -- they only have to be zapped once, maybe twice and they don't do it anymore. I haven't had that problem here yet, but I know others who had bad climbers and they put the hotwire on only for a few days, and their climbers were cured.

Hey you might have a good point there, who ever would have thought that could become an AKC Registered breed!!! Call it the Baboon Shepherd! Might be a hit with other people, the shnoodle was or whatever they call that dog! I heard someone the other day say they bought one and then they thought it was nice so they bought another....how silly!
