Praised, Crated, and still has accidents! LONG, sorry
So not only have I searched all over this site and more for maybe some small bit of advice that will shed some light on potty training. I have trained my share of large breed dogs to potty outside but I have my first small breed puppy and he is proving to be a tough cookie when it comes to potty training...

This really got on my nerves.
I got a big speech from a family member how Royce should be housebroken by now. He had a wee-wee accident and he's all of about 12 weeks. "Really he's to old to be doing this. None of MY dogs EVER had accidents at his age." and then was told how to housetrain a dog in what I consider...

Good job Royce!!!
Today Royce gave me his first "Mom, I need out!" signal. He came to me, stared at me and DH, gave a teeny bark and growl (he is a chatterbox, it's not an aggresive growl. More like a trill, lol) and I said "Do you need out? Let's go out!" So we did, and he went, then ran right...

Escape Artist...
So Chief has perfected the art of breaking out of his crate when we leave. Unfortunately he cannot be trusted in the house alone, so I need a solution to this. Today he ate a loaf of bread, next time it could be worse. He has figured out that if he unlatches the bottom latch, then he can just squeeze...

House training (not puppies) problems! Help!
Hi, I'm new here and an experienced dog owner but don't know what to do about these problems. I've never had dogs with housetraining issues like these dogs seem to have. I have 3 dogs all about 3-4 years old -- one female yorkiepoo, two male terrier mixes. Rescues so all spayed/neutered....

Submissive Urination??
We are new here and also our Millie is new to our family. Things have been going pretty good..........one thing that we are noticing is when she hears noises or if the adults in the house raise their voice (my husband is half deaf so we tend to talk louder) or if she thinks shes in trouble.............

What do you have to do differently to properly raise a 7 week old puppy that hasn't been fully weaned from mom or socialized outside the home??

Whining/barking when I'm gone
Basically, I have been crating Zeke when he is alone in the house since I got him (May). At first it was hard, as he did not like the idea at all. Over time, however, he got to the point where he would be excited to see his Kong, which he only gets in the crate. I was pretty sure he still barked some...

Scheduled Feeding v.s Free Feeding

Our puppy right now we have to leave food out all day and she like nibbles a couple bites here and there. Should I just accept that she is free fed? Or take away the food dish for...

Puppy Slow to Adjust / Shy
Our new little 4 month old puppy is more shy/timid and slower to come around. You can tell she trusts us more and more each day (this is her 4th day with us). She has yet to come out of her shell and really "play" - let loose - get happy - get excited. She isn't a fan of the "clicker"...

So initially, I was having a problem with Sadie (15 weeks) waking during the night, and still peeing in the crate after more than...

Only responds with treats
Sadie is 7 months old now, and knows the basic commands. However, she doesn't necessarily follow them unless i have a treat in hand. I know this is pretty normal. She's not my first dog, but I really want to do a better job of training her. So, what is? Time? Maturity? Is it a matter of practicing...

Puppy pee
I just got a 9wk old miniature schnauzer puppy, he has not completed his shot series yet so I can't take him for walks (we live in a condo) He will go on his puppy pads on the balcony, but after he poops he won't urinate until he gets inside...no matter how long I stay out. Anyone know why?
