Are there any FREE websites or FREE training tips for a barking and nipping dog?
Filed Under Dog Training | 7 Comments
He nips when kids run indoors. He barks at doors, phones and other noises. He also barks at stray cats.
I don’t have the money for trainers, and have tried training from books and collars.
I have looked at searches on google. It doesn’t relate to my dog, or money is asked. I need sites that allow me to tell a trainer about my dog and they can give me advice. Thank you.

I need some dog expert advice?
Filed Under Dog Training | 4 Comments
I am looking for a small dog. I have a huge yard but it isn’t fenced so I need a good inside dog (that won’t tear up my brand new leather couches!) and one that can run around outside without running away. My neighbors have dogs that run around outside and play together so I’d like a dog that can do the same. Obviously I would have to do some training to have a dog like this but I was wondering what breeds are more likely to behave this well. Also, my boyfriend is on deployment so if I got a dog now, would there be problems when he comes home in 4 months? I would like something along the lines of a maltese or a mini yorkie but for all I know, this could be the wrong dog for me. Any advice would be great!
to clear up the boyfriend thing… of course I would get his permission lol. And yes we live together. I’m wondering how a dog would react once he comes home. To the dog, he’d be a complete stranger all of a sudden living in its house. Can dogs adapt to that kind of stuff or would it be better to wait until he comes home in 4 months?

My dog was raised by someone obviously who litter box trained her and never took her outside! How do I undo that? She is scared of the grass and is puzzled what to do out there. But, she holds her pee all day then goes right to the pad! Help! I do not want her doing this, my other dog is potty trained, I want her to be too! I need advice!!!!!!!!!!

Dog training?
Filed Under Dog Training | 11 Comments
I have a pug that is five and he was potty trained, but now he likes to potty on my couch and bed when I am at work. I work little more than 8 hours a day, so he is home most of the day by him self. I am at the end of my rope and not sure what to do with him? I do not want to have to give him up, but I cannot have him using the bathroom on my bed or couch. Any advice would help.

desire to find and interact with their owner OVER distractions. Using punishment while training leave it, diminishes yourself as something reinforcing to interact with.

Hmmm so my Papillon puppy is getting progessively WORSE with his
potty training. He has begun to go outside less and less, and go
inside more and more. He even waited until I had put him back in his
kennel to go this morning! (He thinks potty time outside, is actually
playtime with anything that twitches, and he tries to eat everything
with movement…)
I work an 8 hr day, but I leave him in a confined area with puppy
pads. I also leave a small bowl of water for him (should I not be
doing this? I feel guilty leaving him without food as it is!)
I try to get up and let him out first thing in the morning, however,
he’s either already gone in his kennel or doesn’t go outside. If he
doesn’t go outside, I put him back in his kennel momentarily to
continue with my own routine before letting him back out for another
go. (This is where he likes to go… as soon as I walk away…)
Okay so he’s pottied this morning, great. Good job, he went in his
bed, on the floor, everywhere but the grass! I’m so thrilled about
this!
Next I let him eat, he tries to play, but I settle him down enough to
get some grub in his tummy. Now I should probably take him out after
he walks away from the bowl, because as soon as he finishes it! Guess
what!? He goes on the floor…
It’s into his “space” now, which he hates. I know this because when I
get home to let him out, he has gone all over the floor and torn up
whatever pads I had down. (Separation anxiety? That’s a scary
thought…) So, I let him out, if he goes, great, he gets a treat, he
gets to eat, and play and I watch him… sometimes he has accidents,
sometimes he’s good. Now if he doesn’t go, I put him back into this
kennel for a few, then let him back out. It’s tricky because he
doesn’t seem to want a schedule. He wants to go at his convenience
and it’s hard knowing when to take him downstairs. It’s like he’s
waiting for the moment to squat on my dining room floor…
As far as his kennel… he hates it. I try to give him a small treat
when he gets in it, but five seconds later he’s crying. He will not
go in on his own. I cycle being in and out of the kennel, sometimes I
feel he’s in it too long, but if I leave him out longer… he sneaks
off and goes somewhere else. It’s insane!
He’s smart, I will give him that. He has me wrapped around his finger
and I think that is part of the problem. I can’t spank his bottom or
shake a can with pennies. He thinks I’m playing! He bites and nips
and jumps… but he has started to sit… when I have a treat in my
hand and give the command. Now the problem is that he won’t do it
without my hand hanging above his head.
I’ve had a puppy before. Once. Our other dog is already trained, she
was when we got her. She doesn’t know tricks, but she doesn’t have
accidents!
Can anyone give me some advice? I plan to enroll him in an obedience
class but want to get a handle on his potty training.
Oh, and I did hang a bell that I ring everytime we go out… he
hasn’t figured it out though… I wish he would.
Thanks!
Both of you have great advice, however, puppies under six months of age should not be left in the kennel for more than 4 hours. I work an 8 hr day. That is too long. If he goes in his bed he will become desensitized to the smell and will not have a problem going in his bed anymore. I learned this at the PetSmart potty training class. I too am taking their obedience class in two weeks. Wish me luck!
Oh, I don’t know what class you went to, but they said to use a small safe area during the day. Cover the entire area in pads so that it is not like the regular floor. That way they won’t get use to going on the floor! Eventually he will be weaned from the pads to just going outside. Thanks again!

Yesterday my neighbor came across two puppies in a box on the side of the road. They appear to be Lab/Terrior mix. My husband and I kept the female and have never had to potty train a dog before. We have a one year old boxer that we rescued two months ago. Will the pup follow her lead? What should I do to ensure proper training .
