Dog Training

dogs usually dig from excess energy or boredom. you can prevent it by providing other activities for her to do. your pooch may also be lacking attention. if you see a hole your dog has dug just take them away (if there still digging it) calmly and don't try to fill it in until there doing something else. otherwise they will get attention for it and that will only encourage the bad behavior.

Sounds like you dog has suffered some previous abuse. You need to gain the dogs trust that you are not going to hurt him. Talk calmly in a non threatening manor while working with him/her on the various situations that prompt the growling. Let the dog know that you are the boss, not him. Praise the dog when the behavior is altered and reinforce the good results continuously. These behaviors are usually because the dog feels you are in competition with him or that a previous memory of the action was hurtful. Is he food agressive? If so try feeding him/her one kibble at a time, making the dog wait and make the connection that you are the provider of food not a competitor.

This depends entirely on the puppy. At seven weeks, it is perfectly normal for the dog not to be fully housetrained. My dog went through a phase at about eight months old when he would continually wet his bed, event though by then he was 'housetrained'. In a couple of weeks, the puppy should have grasped the idea that when he sits, or whines by the door, he gets let outside to pee (or poop). Even then, there will still be accidents now and again, but so long as consistent rewards are given when the puppy does go outside, he should be fully housetrained by a the time he is four to five months old.

No

Yes. Most municipalities have noise ordinances that prohibit excessively barking dogs. Be aware though that once you begin down the road of complaining about neighbors, you have started a war. Be prepared to see it to the end, be that truce, surrender, or victory.

It means the dog has worms and should be treated as soon as possible. It's very common, but not life threatening if it's taken care of.

Always, always, ALWAYS reward a pet (be it with food or praise) immediately after they exhibit the correct behavior (sit, lay down, come, ect.). If you wait, or never give the praise at all, the dog does not make the connection, i.e.: come = reward.

Cheese is a very good training treat. Because of the strong smell it gets dogs excited about working. I wouldn't suggest using cheese as the only training treat though. I would save cheese as a special treat such as a reward for a younger dog when they come when called.

You would check your local government as to Animal Control. Failing that you could call the local police, but don't use 911 unless someone is in danger from the dog barking.

maybe your doing something that the dog doesnt like or you dog maybe wants to play

just run and it'll run after u

yes, if you introduce the dog to the crate properly. don't just shove it in there and leave it alone.

no they dont bark much, they will occasionally bark at the odd cat or something but they are dogs with very good behaivior and tempermant

Dogs do not intentionally steal their owners underwear. If you are talking about pups, then they are just playing. But, if your dog is an adult, it may mean that he is insecure and feels that he must hide his favourite possetions in order that they don't get stolen. But, another reason can be that the odour on the underwear attracts them.

Yes, any dog *can* use the invisible fences. However unless used correctly, they can be harmful.

A good way to stop dogs from barking is to use a halter leash. This pulls a dogs mouth shut with a gentle tug, and can be used to discourage dogs from barking.

You need to consult with the Secretary of State's office in Ohio to find out the rules; unless your husband is certified himself, it is unlikely that you can get this certification done without further involvement of a certified trainer.

When looking for a place to buy a dog, it’s important to know all the options. There are many places to shop for dogs, depending on what the buyer is looking for and how much money they are willing to spend.

Pet Stores

One option for choosing a dog is shopping at a big pet store. This is sometimes the easiest and most accessible way to find many different types of dogs or puppies in one place. Pet store employees are often knowledgeable about different breeds and their personalities and requirements. An added perk to shopping in a pet store is that dog food, beds, and other accessories can be purchased at the same time. One disadvantage to pet stores is that they don’t provide any shots or health services, so those will be an extra expense for the buyer.

Private Breeders

While going to a private breeder may be the most expensive option, it is also considered by some to be the smartest. Private breeders can guarantee lineage for their dogs, as well as provide papers. This is important to dog owners who are interested in entering dog shows. Dogs purchased from private breeders can cost hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of dollars, but show-winning dogs can return that investment within months.

Animal Shelter

When shopping for a suitable family dog, an often overlooked alternative is the local animal shelter or humane society. Shelter dogs are normally already house-broken, meaning they’ve been taught when and where to use the restroom. Dogs found in shelters are usually very sweet and friendly, as they’ve lived with families before. Most shelters provide basic health care for dogs before they sell them, so things like rabies shots and neutering are done before the dogs are sold. This is without a doubt, the most cost-effective option.

Buying a dog can be a simple and fun process. Knowing what to look for and how much money is budgeted will help in narrowing down the choices.

If your puppy (or dog) is in need of potty training, the best method would be to paper train him. Crate training can be used at the same time you're paper training him. While you're away, putting your puppy in the crate is a good way to keep him from wetting (or "going #2") on himself. Puppies don't like to wet themselves, and will try very hard not too. So it is important to get a crate small enough so that they don't have room to go in one corner of the crate and then be clean in another corner. You can find out more about paper and crate training in a google search. You'll get tons of helpful websites. The website in related has information of both paper and crate training in it.

No. and no vet would do this. You must let the pregnancy run its course before it can be spade.
