How To Train A Dog

How do I make my pee-pad trained dog pee outside?

We rescued a 5year old dog Chihuahua mix from the Humane Society and he is pee-pad trained (for the most part). We really want him to pee outside but he refuses. He will even moan at the door outside to go inside and pee. Crate training does not work because he just pees inside of it, and the crate we use is definitely small enough.

I pretty much got him set on pooping outside which came pretty easy after only a couple days, but weeks later he is yet to pee outside one time.

My current schedule for him is to wake-up, eat, go outside (and watch him stare at me), come in, back in the crate. Go to work and come home, eat, go outside, (watch him stare at me). Then before i go to bed I take him out again, this is when he usually poops. I let him stay in the living room with us while we are home. After a while he will make his way over to the pee pad. I run over, take him outside with a shower of urine flying through the air and let him finish outside. pee pad is by the door, but he will not go on it if it is outside either. HELP!
I do walk him around while we are outside, though the problem is with peeing, not pooping.
I thought it might help to get rid of the pads but if he cant find one he goes straight to the rugs and pees on them… just got done washing them today actually.

How to pee pad train a dog?

Hi there,

I have a 3 month old puppy, and he is partially trained to pee on the pee pads. Just one problem. He will not poo on the pads. He has once or twice before, but he always poos on the floor. When we take him out, he sometimes poos outside but usually he waits until we get indoors, and sometimes even pees indoors.

Please can someone understand where im coming from, and shine some light for me on this question. My dad is really pissed off, and he said we will have to sell him if he doesn’t learn.

I understand it will take a while.. but I will do whatever it takes.

Thank you and farewell x
He will not do anything (pee or poo) outside when it rains, snows, or is wet or too cold.

How do you train a male dog to pee on a pad?

I have a five year old jack russell and he loves to pee in the house! He only lifts his leg to pee and has NEVER peed squatting since we got him neutered (that was a few years ago) He’ll pee outside if i take him but sometimes im not home and i want him to be able to pee on a pad when im away? How can i make him pee on a pad if he doesnt squat!

how do you house train/potty train a dog?

How can I RE-house train my dog?

I have a 1.5 year old toy poodle. She was easily house trained as a puppy and remained so until the last several months she started to poop and pee in the house. I have tried keeping her in a single room when we leave but that didnt work. We put her in a cage when we leave and she even poops in that! I am so fed up I could cry! I don’t know what has changed but she didn’t do this before. Please give me any advice you have!

Just wondering how long it would take to house train a lab puppy ?

what a lot of answers ? thanks so much for everyones answers

How do I house train a puppy before all his vaccinations without a garden (open forest and fields 1 min away)?

My husband and I have just moved to a ground floor flat where we’ve been told we can have a dog. It doesn’t have a private garden, just communal grassy areas, but we thought it was ideal for a dog as there are playing fields and a small forest just behind us, which will take less than 1 minute from our front door to get to.

We picked a puppy last weekend, and we’re collecting him aged 8 weeks at the start of January.

I’d read lots about house training (I’ve had dogs before, but they’ve always been grown up rescue dogs who have been trained, and had their vaccinations), but realised I have a problem… We can’t take our pup out to the communal ground until he’s had his second vaccination.

I have asked a friend who lives about a mile away can I use her fenced in back garden daily for play for our pup until he’s had all his jabs, but obviously I can’t take him that far every time he needs a wee!

I know we can use puppy pads, is this the only alternative? Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks!
Christine

how do i house train my puppy in a week without using a dumb course?

i just got a new dog and its my first ever …..and i have no idea what to do.could anyone help me out?! :]

What am I supposed to do with my puppy at night and during the day?

Ok kinda weird quesiton but I just got a puppy he is about 5 months old. I got him from a well known breeder about 4 weeks ago.. Anyways, Im trying to house train him. I understand he is a puppy and he wont be fully house trained for a while but im not really sure what i should be doing? Im home almost all day everyday cause i work from home. Sometimes i obviously have to leave my house though. Im not sure where to put the puppy when i leave, im never gone long but when i leave he potty’s everywhere! Its starting to make my house stink really bad! I try to take him out to go potty at least every hour some times more often then that, but he is still going a lot in the house. Also at night he sleeps with me. I still make up about 4-6 times at night to take him potty outside. Usually when he starts to move it wakes me up and i get up and take him outside. But no matter how many times i take him out at night i still wake up and he has peed and or pooped on the bed and all over the floor. I think ive washed my bed sheets every single day since ive had him. If i dont sleep with him he is on the floor and just goes potty on the floor then i get to get up and scrub the carpets off. My friend suggested that when i cant have my eye on him 24/7 that i should put him in a cage but thats not fare for him to be in a cage all night and sometimes during the day. even though he is small and the cage is huge! I dont like that idea. so what am i supposed to do? any suggestions? i have puppy pads and there are about 100 of them all throughout my house lol, he never goes on them. i cant keep waking up everymorning and having to scrub my entire house down? what did you do?
Also, he isnt going potty an unusual amount its normal and im feeding him 3 times a day small amounts. (right amount for his size) So he’s not over eating or anything.

Close relative’s dog -not house train. Is it ok to tell her to get out of dodge?

My uncle’s wife asked my mom to dog sit her new Maltese-poodlepuppy that she got 3 months ago. They never house train this dog and now he’s peeing and pooping all over the house for the past 3 days that he been there. Is it wrong to tell my uncle wife to take her dog home? How could she expect us to take care of our untrained dog. When we first confronted her about training her dogs because we don’t want our husky to pick up a bad habit she laughed like she thought i was joking. She keeps saying that he’s just a puppy. Puppy my ___. You had him for 3 months now lady. My husky was house trained from day one. One day she decided to spend a night at my parents house and she went into my room to sleep and she let her dog sleeping on my bed and the dog peed on my comforter.

My mom told her never to drop off the dog when they’re not home or when the husky is home. She just ignored my mom’s request. One they my mom got home from work around 10pm and the dog was already there making so much mess. She called her sister in law and she said have to drop the dog off at 1pm because she have to go a birthday party and she didn’t want the puppy to stay at her own house because he will make too much mess.

Incident that pushed me to the edge***

Last night we went to drop off my Siberian Husky. It was our weekly routine to drop him of every Sunday night so that he can stay with my parents while I’m at work. My uncle’s wife was informed that her dog cannot stay there while the husky is in the house because my husky will not tolerate it. She didn’t pick up the dog. I have to end up taking my husky home. My dog was crying on our way home because he thought my parents got a new dog and abandoning him. Then she have a gut to call me at 1 in the morning asking how my dog is doing? And being all b*tchy about how she fear that my dog will eat her dog. I said F you lady. That’ s my parents house and my dog grew up in that house. And that room that you slept in is still my room even thou i have my own place. and that bed that you let your dog peed on, my dog still sleep on it when he’s there. So my fiance gave it to her. He bitched her out because he knew that my parents were too nice and kind. Plus last year when my mom lost her job she borrowed $500 from my uncle and his wife but when she tried to return the money my uncle said don’t worry about it. Ever since then his wife been taking advantage of my parents.

Was it wrong of us to tell her to get the f*&@ out of our parents house? Today both me and my fiance took a day off of work to shampoo the carpet for my parents cuz the house stink so bad. My parents shouldn’t have to put up with that. I wrote her a check for $500 and mailed it to her this morning. I had it.
I spent a lot of time training my husky from day one. I don’t want him to pick up a bad habit from that stupid dog.

No, I don’t feel like it’s my job or my parents job to train her dog. She’s an irresponsible dog owner.

Why does our puppy have accidents only when we are home?

We have an 8-month old yorkie/maltese/rat terrier mix. She was incredibly difficult to house train, but we did it! I am usually off work 1 week day per week, so on that day I am usually home with both our dogs all day. (The other one is a 5 yr old min pin mix who never has accidents.) The only time our puppy ever has accidents is when we are home. We get no warning whatsoever. She’ll just squat and tinkle right next to you! Sometimes ON you. It happens on the bed, couch, carpet, just wherever she happens to be. She doesn’t cry, dance around, or show any sign that she needs to go. What is the deal with this, and how can we stop it? I take her out very often throughout the day while I am here, but it doesn’t seem to help.
It’s not an excited thing. It’s just completely random. Like earlier today- I was walking around, straightening up, and I look down to see her right next to me, popping a little squat. Completely random!
She was spayed at the end of June. When she does have the accident, it’s a full bladder’s worth sometimes, and others not so much. As soon as I see her do it, I give her a sharp “NO!” and pick her up, just like I’ve always heard/read to do. It’s most definitely not an excitement thing. We crate trained her. When she does go potty outside, we praise her while she’s in the act and continually on the way back in. She sometimes will go to the front door and cry, so she knows what she’s supposed to do – she just doesn’t sometimes, but only when we are here with her.

Partner and myself *wanting* to get a puppy but work full time and not sure if its fair…?

Hey,

My partner and myself are late 20s and live in a decent sized bungalow, we have been thinking about getting a pup for a while, but i have heard and read LOTS of conflicting reports about if it would be ok or not keeping a dog. I will try and give you all the details to get a fuller picture of what we want to offer it as well as where we may be lacking in what a dog needs.

I leave for work at about 7:30am and come back around 4:30pm, my partner works 10 minutes bike ride round the corner, and leaves for work around 8:00am and can come home for lunch to take it for a quick walk (15-25 mins) then would be back at work until about 5pm…

Now one thing that everyone seems to keep repeating is that they need to take a wee/poo every few hours when they are young, which may be a problem to begin with as we would only be able to pop back at lunch time for a bit, so it would be alone for about 2x 4 hour periods during the day. Personally we would not be angry if it has a few accidents, as its our own fault for not being there as often as we would want to be, however im sure it wouldnt want to be trapped in a room with a big poo for a while if it cant hold it…

My plan is to get up about 6am and take it for a walk/run for about 45 minutes, then my partner would take it for about 30 minute walk at lunch time, then when i get back take it for another walk for about an hour (probably longer). On weekends we are at home pretty much all day apart from when we need to go shopping (lets say 1 hour out of the house), so we can take it for longer walks and spend more time training it then.

Currently this seems like it *may* be enough for a puppy, and i cant see us changing jobs anytime soon but should that happen we may not be able to get to it at lunch times, but i couldnt see that happening anytime soon.

The puppy would initially be kept in our hallway which is 12×5 (ft) with laminate flooring, which we would put toys and bedding in for it to sleep and hopefully some sort of toilet area (away from the bedding). Then maybe open up the kitchen too and keep child locks on the cupboard doors, although im hoping it wouldnt start eating the table or chairs or demolish anything else in the kitchen (Although im sure it will)…

My main worries are for the dog being alone for so long and getting enough exercise, i dont mind the mess and if they cant hold something in thats fine, given time and training im sure that would sort out. Oh we are also currently looking at a Labrador mainly because it seems to be one of the best *family* pets that is fun, caring and intelligent, as we may be having children in the next few years and dont want a dog that could be a danger to the children as you hear lots of horror stories these days.

We dont really have any dog walkers in the area we live, and no day care for dogs, so for the foreseable future we would only be able to offer the dog our time outside of working hours (well the brief visit during lunch time)…

Depending on the answers im sure i will have more questions, but im a bit baffled as to how so many people can own dogs when they take up so much time, as surely most people work full time like ourselves, so maybe im just over estimating their needs…
Thanks for the comments so far, we are more than happy to get an older pup we just wanted one that we could bring up from start and watch it bloom (although granted we may not be around to watch it too much most days)

What sort of Age do you think we would be looking at to get one that should already have bladder control down?

We have a small back garden area, its fine for a puppy but a bit too small for it when it grows older (which is why i had planned for the nearby parks for most of the dogs exercise during the week).

As far as the dogs mental state and physical state goes, are we all pretty much agreed that it should be fine being left alone for 4 hours at a time? as im thinking more long term than just when its a puppy, and once its bladder is fine and its grown up a bit more will it be ok to stay alone for so long? (maybe its not acctually that long, but seems like it)

And that room that you slept in is still my room even thou i have my own place. and that bed that you let your dog peed on, my dog still sleep on it when he’s there. So my fiance gave it to her. He bitched her out because he knew that my parents were too nice and kind. Plus last year when my mom lost her job she borrowed $500 from my uncle and his wife but when she tried to return the money my uncle said don’t worry about it. Ever since then his wife been taking advantage of my parents.

Was it wrong of us to tell her to get the f*&@ out of our parents house? Today both me and my fiance took a day off of work to shampoo the carpet for my parents cuz the house stink so bad. My parents shouldn’t have to put up with that. I wrote her a check for $500 and mailed it to her this morning. I had it.
I spent a lot of time training my husky from day one. I don’t want him to pick up a bad habit from that stupid dog.

No, I don’t feel like it’s my job or my parents job to train her dog. She’s an irresponsible dog owner.

Why does our puppy have accidents only when we are home?

We have an 8-month old yorkie/maltese/rat terrier mix. She was incredibly difficult to house train, but we did it! I am usually off work 1 week day per week, so on that day I am usually home with both our dogs all day. (The other one is a 5 yr old min pin mix who never has accidents.) The only time our puppy ever has accidents is when we are home. We get no warning whatsoever. She’ll just squat and tinkle right next to you! Sometimes ON you. It happens on the bed, couch, carpet, just wherever she happens to be. She doesn’t cry, dance around, or show any sign that she needs to go. What is the deal with this, and how can we stop it? I take her out very often throughout the day while I am here, but it doesn’t seem to help.
It’s not an excited thing. It’s just completely random. Like earlier today- I was walking around, straightening up, and I look down to see her right next to me, popping a little squat. Completely random!
She was spayed at the end of June. When she does have the accident, it’s a full bladder’s worth sometimes, and others not so much. As soon as I see her do it, I give her a sharp “NO!” and pick her up, just like I’ve always heard/read to do. It’s most definitely not an excitement thing. We crate trained her. When she does go potty outside, we praise her while she’s in the act and continually on the way back in. She sometimes will go to the front door and cry, so she knows what she’s supposed to do – she just doesn’t sometimes, but only when we are here with her.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH

Partner and myself *wanting* to get a puppy but work full time and not sure if its fair…?

Hey,

My partner and myself are late 20s and live in a decent sized bungalow, we have been thinking about getting a pup for a while, but i have heard and read LOTS of conflicting reports about if it would be ok or not keeping a dog. I will try and give you all the details to get a fuller picture of what we want to offer it as well as where we may be lacking in what a dog needs.

I leave for work at about 7:30am and come back around 4:30pm, my partner works 10 minutes bike ride round the corner, and leaves for work around 8:00am and can come home for lunch to take it for a quick walk (15-25 mins) then would be back at work until about 5pm…

Now one thing that everyone seems to keep repeating is that they need to take a wee/poo every few hours when they are young, which may be a problem to begin with as we would only be able to pop back at lunch time for a bit, so it would be alone for about 2x 4 hour periods during the day. Personally we would not be angry if it has a few accidents, as its our own fault for not being there as often as we would want to be, however im sure it wouldnt want to be trapped in a room with a big poo for a while if it cant hold it…

My plan is to get up about 6am and take it for a walk/run for about 45 minutes, then my partner would take it for about 30 minute walk at lunch time, then when i get back take it for another walk for about an hour (probably longer). On weekends we are at home pretty much all day apart from when we need to go shopping (lets say 1 hour out of the house), so we can take it for longer walks and spend more time training it then.

Currently this seems like it *may* be enough for a puppy, and i cant see us changing jobs anytime soon but should that happen we may not be able to get to it at lunch times, but i couldnt see that happening anytime soon.

The puppy would initially be kept in our hallway which is 12×5 (ft) with laminate flooring, which we would put toys and bedding in for it to sleep and hopefully some sort of toilet area (away from the bedding). Then maybe open up the kitchen too and keep child locks on the cupboard doors, although im hoping it wouldnt start eating the table or chairs or demolish anything else in the kitchen (Although im sure it will)…

My main worries are for the dog being alone for so long and getting enough exercise, i dont mind the mess and if they cant hold something in thats fine, given time and training im sure that would sort out. Oh we are also currently looking at a Labrador mainly because it seems to be one of the best *family* pets that is fun, caring and intelligent, as we may be having children in the next few years and dont want a dog that could be a danger to the children as you hear lots of horror stories these days.

We dont really have any dog walkers in the area we live, and no day care for dogs, so for the foreseable future we would only be able to offer the dog our time outside of working hours (well the brief visit during lunch time)…

Depending on the answers im sure i will have more questions, but im a bit baffled as to how so many people can own dogs when they take up so much time, as surely most people work full time like ourselves, so maybe im just over estimating their needs…
Thanks for the comments so far, we are more than happy to get an older pup we just wanted one that we could bring up from start and watch it bloom (although granted we may not be around to watch it too much most days)

What sort of Age do you think we would be looking at to get one that should already have bladder control down?

We have a small back garden area, its fine for a puppy but a bit too small for it when it grows older (which is why i had planned for the nearby parks for most of the dogs exercise during the week).

As far as the dogs mental state and physical state goes, are we all pretty much agreed that it should be fine being left alone for 4 hours at a time? as im thinking more long term than just when its a puppy, and once its bladder is fine and its grown up a bit more will it be ok to stay alone for so long? (maybe its not acctually that long, but seems like it)

What am I supposed to do with my puppy at night and during the day?

Ok kinda weird quesiton but I just got a puppy he is about 5 months old. I got him from a well known breeder about 4 weeks ago.. Anyways, Im trying to house train him. I understand he is a puppy and he wont be fully house trained for a while but im not really sure what i should be doing? Im home almost all day everyday cause i work from home. Sometimes i obviously have to leave my house though. Im not sure where to put the puppy when i leave, im never gone long but when i leave he potty’s everywhere! Its starting to make my house stink really bad! I try to take him out to go potty at least every hour some times more often then that, but he is still going a lot in the house. Also at night he sleeps with me. I still make up about 4-6 times at night to take him potty outside. Usually when he starts to move it wakes me up and i get up and take him outside. But no matter how many times i take him out at night i still wake up and he has peed and or pooped on the bed and all over the floor. I think ive washed my bed sheets every single day since ive had him. If i dont sleep with him he is on the floor and just goes potty on the floor then i get to get up and scrub the carpets off. My friend suggested that when i cant have my eye on him 24/7 that i should put him in a cage but thats not fare for him to be in a cage all night and sometimes during the day. even though he is small and the cage is huge! I dont like that idea. so what am i supposed to do? any suggestions? i have puppy pads and there are about 100 of them all throughout my house lol, he never goes on them. i cant keep waking up everymorning and having to scrub my entire house down? what did you do?
Also, he isnt going potty an unusual amount its normal and im feeding him 3 times a day small amounts. (right amount for his size) So he’s not over eating or anything.

Close relative’s dog -not house train. Is it ok to tell her to get out of dodge?

My uncle’s wife asked my mom to dog sit her new Maltese-poodlepuppy that she got 3 months ago. They never house train this dog and now he’s peeing and pooping all over the house for the past 3 days that he been there. Is it wrong to tell my uncle wife to take her dog home? How could she expect us to take care of our untrained dog. When we first confronted her about training her dogs because we don’t want our husky to pick up a bad habit she laughed like she thought i was joking. She keeps saying that he’s just a puppy. Puppy my ___. You had him for 3 months now lady. My husky was house trained from day one. One day she decided to spend a night at my parents house and she went into my room to sleep and she let her dog sleeping on my bed and the dog peed on my comforter.

My mom told her never to drop off the dog when they’re not home or when the husky is home. She just ignored my mom’s request. One they my mom got home from work around 10pm and the dog was already there making so much mess. She called her sister in law and she said have to drop the dog off at 1pm because she have to go a birthday party and she didn’t want the puppy to stay at her own house because he will make too much mess.

Incident that pushed me to the edge***

Last night we went to drop off my Siberian Husky. It was our weekly routine to drop him of every Sunday night so that he can stay with my parents while I’m at work. My uncle’s wife was informed that her dog cannot stay there while the husky is in the house because my husky will not tolerate it. She didn’t pick up the dog. I have to end up taking my husky home. My dog was crying on our way home because he thought my parents got a new dog and abandoning him. Then she have a gut to call me at 1 in the morning asking how my dog is doing? And being all b*tchy about how she fear that my dog will eat her dog. I said F you lady. That’ s my parents house and my dog grew up in that house.

How can I stop my dog from growling when he eats/sleeps?

We adopted our dog when he was almost 4 months old. We’ve had him for about a month and a half or so, and we’ve come so far! We’ve done TONS and TONS of research and practice methods used by Cesar Millan and other training guides, books and videos. At 5 months, Ranger (his name), can sit, shake, high five, spin (both ways), touch objects on command, turn the lights off, and perform other tricks with much obedience.

He is very polite. He never takes food from our plates, and won’t even approach his OWN food until we tell him it’s okay. I can lay treats by his feet and he will wait for my OK to eat. We’ve shown dominance in our home, and on walks since the day we got him.

Our problem:
Even though he waits to be fed, once he IS fed, eats eats FAST and eats nervously. If I begin to touch him, he will growl. We’ve tried different methods to make this stop. We’ve tried taking the food away until he shows submission, but it’s almost as if he snaps out of it when the food is gone. So I’ve tried to continually pet him and rub him while he’s eating. He gets very nervous (puts his tail under his legs) and never stops growling until his food is gone. I hand feed him half his meal, but as soon as he eats out of the bowl, he growls. He NEVER bites, but just growls.

The ONLY other time he growls is when he’s sleeping, and it’s time to wake up. HE HATES IT! If we need to move him, or pick him up, he whines and whines. He makes hi pitch growls and whines a little as if to say, “I don’t wanna!” We never give into his behavior and always move him to where we want him.

All in all, he is a very good, smart and polite dog. He doesn’t show any aggression when playing with other dogs (we go to the dog park at least 3 times a week), and never shows aggression towards people (besides the above info).

Any ideas on how I can stop this nervousness when eating?

Ranger is a hound mix. Not sure what else is in him. Here is a video of him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmJEi6OwwnM

Through all my research, I can’t find a definitive answer to this problem. Most people suffer from dogs who are VERY possessive of their food. Rangers case seems more mild, yet still disturbing. I know if I let this go, it might someday turn into a bite! Again, Ranger never shows teeth, or bites. He just growls WHILE eating (he doesn’t stop eating to show me he is serious). Any answers are helpful.
I just want to add that anyone who feels like a dog who growls and is dominate when eating is an okay behavior should re-think that. Dogs don’t need to be “left alone” while eating. They need to learn to be submissive even WHEN eating. If I had company over, and my dog found a piece of food when I was looking and a child walked over and he bit him because he was was nervous, or possessive then I have a problem on my hands. The point is to teach your dog to be comfortable, happy, submissive and balanced while eating. This is what I’ve tried to accomplish, and will continue to work on. Obviously my dog is nervous when eating. My goal is to make him happy and comfortable EVEN if I’m near, touching or have my hand in his food. I believe this is a VERY good goal for any dog owner. Ranger is the most spoiled, happy dog I’ve ever owned, but also the most submissive and well behaved. Less anger, nervousness, or possessiveness in our relationship is better for everyone (dog included).

is this acceptable to do to avoid eating disorder behaviors?

how do i get my dog to stop barking at other dogs while we go to the park/beach/ect.?

well in two weeks were going to the beach and last year when i first took her (she was about 1-3 months old i forgot) she wast comfortable with the other dogs and i couldn’t go in the water as much as i do since she was barking and i had to control her (my dad was holding her on her leash) i bought a video this guy calls himself “The Dog Father” i got it for christmas because i asked my dad for it and when i watched the video some parts helped me like sitting laying down and not begging for food which was great! but the barking issue still isn’t cured im embarrassed all the time because my dog barks and sometimes she even gets in control when we go on walks and its like shes walking me to wherever she wants to go i want her to be a happy dog last week when i went to the beach ( i didn’t take her) i saw this black Labrador he looked like the happiest dog in the world him and his owners were playing fetch he was off leash and he looked so happy and wasn’t barking or chasing any other dogs my dogs problem is that she barks at dogs (and cats) and she always want to go greet the other dog but in a harsh way like chasing at them i want my dog to be like that any training method will work just please help me! Sorry this description is so long ):
oh and she is fixed
by the way she is 1 year and 3 months old and she is a German Shepherd Mix

Puppy won’t listen when called, follows our other dog?

We have a 5 month old Golden Retriever/Irish Setter mix.
He is very smart, almost potty trained from the time we brought him home at 6 weeks old!

We do not have a fenced backyard, but our dogs know the boundaries.
BUT, our little guy won’t come when he is called. He waits for the older dog (5 yr old Pit/Lab female) to come and follows her.
I understand he wants to do everything she does, but he needs to learn to come when he is called, not just when she does.

Is he just too young?

How can we make him come to us without her having to come first? He comes when called just fine when he is outside by himself.

how to train a dog to stop when he’s chasing another dog?

i have a border collie X australian shepherd and he always comes when i call him except for when there’s other dogs around. no matter what i do he just chases after them. usually i have time to get him on the leash before he sees them but today he just bolted after an overgrown rat (i think it was a chiuaua lol) and it was really embarrassing. he is only 6 months old and he’s very difficult to train because he gets really silly and doesnt concerntrate
yeah i really agree that he needs to go to obedience class but my dad is a complete control freak and he wont let me send him becuase he thinks its unnecessary

how do i train my dog?

My dog is 13 months old. She jumps on people like a mexican jumping ben. She doesn’t listen to me when i call her. The only thing she listens to is sit. The one thing i want is for her to come to me when i call and to train her not to jump on people when they walk outside. Training classes are not an option right now what else can i do? Shes a pure bread golden retriever and i want to bread her but she needs to be trained first.

How can i train my dog to listen to me?

I havent really tried but whenever i let him out of his leash he thinks were playing a game and wont come to me when i call him, he runs down the block and as soon as i get close to him he runs farther away.

How to train a dog to stop stealing food from others?

My lab mix is trainned not to snatch food from the hands of others. She known this from an early age. However earier this year she interupted a birthday party a few months ago, and they wouldn’t stop feeding her treats.

Now she trying to snatch food on walks.

She just stole a little boy icypole on the walk-The mother was patting her, my pooch was being as good as gold, then gentle decided to steal the little boys icypole. She wasn’t rough or anything, but still I don’t want it to happen and i’m surprised to she did that because other have fed her treats before and she never ever done this before.

She has been acting weird lately though-Trying to eat stuff she wouldn’t normally even think of eating, yesterday i called her-she wouldn’t come-which is actually quite normal for her, selective deafness-as mum used to call her and smack her for being naughty such as chewing towels and stuff, after the act. So mum taught her not to come when called. My stepdad taught her to fear brooms, and used to push the broom in her face to scare her. I manage to retrain her not to be afraid of brooms

I saw her chewing something, i thought it was a root off a plant, so i grapped it, and said NO, on closer inspection, it was a dead baby bird. Indian Minor to be exact-had it feather but still quite small. This is not something she would be eating, it just not in her nature to be consuming birds or even stealing things.

For a retriever as long as i’ve know her since 8week old she has actually been a stubburn ox to train.

Anyway to fix these sudden behavioural issues that are NOT typically charactistic of my dog.

How do I train my dog to poop in a certain spot in the house where i can just pick it up w/ a bag?

I just got a small dog from the pound, he’s potty trained and we take him out to let him go to the bathroom everyday. He’s kinda half-potty trained actually. Even though we take him every few hours he still goes in the house sometimes, but when he does, he does it in the bathroom.
This made me think I wonder if there’s such thing as a doggy toilet lol
is there any way i can make him ALWAYS poop and pee in one spot of the house like in the bathroom on a certain mat or something?
I would still take him outside all the time though^^

how to train a DOG not to pee or poop in the house?

I have a PROBLEM…

I have a black lab-mix about 3 years of age and he tends to make a mess of the house by pooping and peeing when left alone. We have a dog sitter that comes to look after all three dogs while we’re away, but only HE makes the messes…

He is an outside dog, but so are the other three and they are absolute ‘angels’ when left alone inside. [EXCEPT for the sofa jumping…XD] SO how do I train him NOT to go inside?

Is it the fact that he is a male dog? Should I get him fixed? [Snip. Snip!]

Another problem is that he LOVES to spray where our oldest female lies down, or sits. [He never seems to run on empty.] He ALWAYS seems to sniff her butt every time she moves, which is reeeeaaaallllyyyy annoying/ creepy/ disgusting…

He ALSO is losing hair on his lower back/ butt and I don’t know why. I was thinking allergies?

I’m in a bind. Please help me out!!!!!

How to house train a dog?

I have a Plott hound that is six months old. I just got him a couple days ago, and he needs to be house trained. His previous owners would just tie him out outside for a while then bring him back in, but I don’t feel comfortable doing that. I do understand that Plott hounds are not typically house dogs, but I need to get him house trained. Does anyone have any tips on how to house train a puppy that’s halfway through it’s childhood, as opposed to being very young?
Some of these answers made it sound like I had planned on tying him up outside. This isn’t the case at all. His previous owners did that. I want to avoid that at all costs – I want him trained to go outside, but live inside, not go outside and pretty much live out there too.

I have a Yorkie who keeps going in the house. I believe he is about a year old, and he just goes wherever. I blame my sister, because the dog is hers, and she doesn’t discipline him. She currently uses puppy pads, and thus far they have been ineffective. Can anyone tell me, in detail, the best way to train a dog so he can stop going in the house? I should also mention that he doesn’t go outside often, if at all.

How do I house/potty train a puppy?

A little puppy showed up at my door the other day so I took it in and fed it and what not. Its a really young pup so for the time being Im keeping him in a BIG box to keep the mess to a minimum. My question is how old does it need to be before I start trying to house train it and how do i go about doing it. Ive never had a puppy but Im probably going to keep him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

And please, if Im doing something wrong do not be rude about it, just let me know in a nice manner, like I said Ive never had a dog before.
