How do you stop a puppy from biting when other toys don't work?

I just went through this myself with a little male Cockapoo x terrier. He's a sweet dog, but chewed and could even be pretty rough if I played with him. There are babies so I went out and got a HARD BABY SOOTHER and put it in the freezer for 15 minutes and then gave it to him. He love it and chewed on it for long lengths of time! It soothed his gums and gave him something to bite on. WARNING: Be sure you don't get the soothers that are soft and have water or other liquid in them. The hard rubber ones with flexible points are the ones to get. It's important you get on the floor and play with your pup. Whether puppies or adult dogs they love you to get down on the ground at their level and my husband and I still do that with our 2 dogs usually in the evening. Teach him/her to play ball, rub it's tummy, constantly tell it he/she is a good boy or girl and give a lot of encouragement. Slippers, pillows, etc., are out of bounds and if the pup is insistent then tap him/her on the nose with two fingers (not too hard) and say "shame!" They get the message loud and clear. Playing with your pup keeps their little minds active and away from destroying your furniture, shoes, etc. Puppies need to go to the bathroom approx. 15 - 20 minutes after drinking or eating so if you miss it and they make a mistake give yourself a kick in the butt and don't scold the pup. I use both paper (for emergencies) and outside I never leave my puppy alone outside until he is a bit older) and it works well. Praising your dog for the good he/she does is most important and don't forget ... play and give the pup lots of love and security. You are the boss!

How much money should you get for dog training?

Why teach my puppy to use puppy pee pads instead of just going outside?

It depends if you have cold weather and you have a small dog. The dog might not want to go outside into the really cold weather. That's why people would use the pee pad. Going outside you need to teach them to let you know when the go to go. My opinion you might want to teach the puppy both so when its to cold to go outside it can use the pee pad.

What episode Cesar millan got bitten by holly?

How do you get your dog to pee outside?

You don't. Use a bell on your door to train the dog to go outside. Hang it low so the dog can hit it with his/her nose. Gently tap the dogs nose on the bell and immediately take the dog outside where you want him/her to go. Do not play, etc., this is all business. In the beginning, do it as many times a day as you can. Reward the dog when you come back in even if they don't go. Be careful though because it does not take long for puppy to figure out that ringing the bell results in reward, i.e. another TREAT! I was having difficulty training my German Shepard puppy (would not go on paper, etc.) and this method worked. Within 3 days my dog was trained and for 11 years never had an accident in the house. Good Luck!

How do you keep your dog to stay in his outdoor kennel?

Each dog, or family of dogs, has their own private indoor/outdoor run combo. The

spacious climate controlled 4'x 6' indoor areas are connected by magnetic vinyl dog

doors to the 4'x 12' outdoor runs so your pet(s) can come in and out as they please. The

provision of a separate sleeping area and an exercise run gives flexibility for the dog,

and the larger kennel will allow more choice of places to rest, play & explore, thus

reducing stress in your pet while he or she is being kenneled. Each outside run provides

plenty of fresh air and sunshine in the morning and early afternoon hours, as well as

physical exercise. Also available is an outdoor only kennel for dogs that are accustomed

to being outdoors year around. This kennel has an extra large Igloo doghouse for

shelter. During the winter months, an electric heated bed is available

as well as an electric water bucket to keep the water at a comfortable

temperature. Complimentary departure baths are offered for dogs that are

boarded for 4 nights or longer, please inquire at check in. Free pick up and

delivery in the Winfield city limits. Check out my questions page to see other services

that are offered. Any damages done to kennel property by dogs being boarded are to

be paid by owner.

Why does a dog always leave his droppings on the same place where you do not want it to go?

Dogs have a very keen sense of smell, and that is the spot they originally chose, so they will go back to the same spot. This, in a dogs mind is their territory to eliminate on. If you want your dog to go in a different spot, take some of his feces from the original spot and place it, in the spot you choose. Next time your dog has to go, take him directly to your chosen spot and he will firstly smell this spot, then he will go. For the first little while you will have to be consistent in taking him to your chosen spot. Over time he will get the hang of it, to in fact go on the spot you chose. Here's two more tips for "Scoop the Poop." If the dog has gone on your carpet, clean it well and then spray vinegar on it. This dilutes the smell and he won't remember where it is. You can also use a little pepper in that one spot and it only takes one snort of this to deter him from going in that same spot. The other post had a good idea too, but if you have a male dog they are super stubborn and although they may go on the paper they will still remember that one spot. Rascals aren't they! Both Posts are super excellent and helpful. I have had this problem and used a spray for carpets called "Natures Miracle" Try it!!!!

How can you get your 6 month old puppy to stop relieving herself in her crate so you can house train her She will not go to the bathroom outside and is walked several times a day?

Either invest in a smaller crate, or block off a part of a larger crate to make the dogs space smaller. The dog will start the think of the crate as is bedroom, and it won't want to go to the bathroom in its bedroom. If there is room for the dog to go to the bathroom and then lay in another area where it can stay away from the feces, the crate is too big. Dogs do not want to lay in their own feces, so a small crate would help to curb this habit.

How do you get your dog to stop barking at the table during dinner?

Your dog should not even be in the dining room while you are eating.

In a pack, the alpha dog eats first and the lowest of the pack eats last. Because your dog is in the dining room at the same time as you when you eat, he or she thinks that they are an alpha. That is why your dog is barking at you - he or she is ordering you to give food. This is your own fault.

Do not have the dog in the dining room while you eat. That will remind the dog that they are not an alpha in this family pack and they will eat when the alpha (the owner) says so.

Another point to add - dogs should never eat before humans or at the same time as humans. They should get their meal AFTER the humans have finished theirs, in order to keep the pack hierarchy balanced (and therefore stop the barking).

Why does your dog chew my books?

Dogs are members of the Canine Family, which also includes Wolves. Canines are hunters, who use their teeth as a weapon. Therefore, the teeth must be kept sharp. Your dog is chewing the books because All Canines chew on things to keep their teeth sharp. If the book is bound in Leather, so much the better. If you don't want the dog doing this (and who Does), a box of Milk Bone, or similar product, made for your dog's breed should stop it, along with some gentle persuasion from you.
