Your husband/boyfriend might object if I performed that action.
You may be lucky with the damaged tree, but beware - my cousin had a dog
(retriever) that turned its attention to chewing furniture, wallpaper,
etc.
Get them properly trained ASAP or you may have years of expense in repair
bills.

They aren't doing too badly. They are border collies, one blue merle,
the other red merle. They are 10 weeks old now. They are housetrained
with very few accidents. They will sit and lie down to command and walk
on a loose lead.
I couldn't live with a badly behaved dog :-)) My older collie is great
but I am realistic enough to know I will get damage - I just expected it
to be a little less drastic and am cross with myself for not putting a
guard round that tree

Border Collies are quite the best and easiest to train~~ there is
no other dog for me. Mine~Poppy~~was today sitting in the bay window when
she saw a strange cat that had dared to come onto her lawn. She roared with
delight and excitement and charged out of the house, barely waiting for
doors to be opened~~ rushed up to the cat only to find the cat still washing
its paws and not the least concerned!
She skidded to a halt and looking rather foolish started to pretend she was
looking for a lost ball etc. Suddenly the cat spat and clawed and my brave
Poppy fled with a scream around the garden, with the cat on her tail and the
tail tucked right under. Eventually she jumped into my arms taking me down
with her!!
She wasn't to know that the cat has kittens in a nearby shed. I hope
she still barks the postman off tomorrow!
Best Wishes Brian.
