Puppy pee 2
Ok, so Kona does well with going outside on the balcony (on the training pad).... But he will only go once, meaning if he poops first he won't stay to pee. This only seems to happen first thing in the morning or during the day. I praise him like crazy after he goes. Should I wait until he does both...

Adult doggie potty issues!! :(
I am at my wits end! We rescued our beagle/bulldog over 5 years ago. Within that 5 years we have went through different work schedules, different training methods, and a cat-all of which have been consistent for over 2 years now and the cat is gone! Only about a year and a half ago our dog, Dewey started...

Is Ruby ready to be left un-crated? (Tacran, 11/21/13)
Let's see if anyone finds this thread, since it'll be buried in a sub-category of the Training & Behavior forums! Ruby immediately took to her crate when we first adopted her. She's never refused to go in it or shown indication that she wants to get out. This summer when we had our...

Desensitization & Socialization
Hope everyone has been well. Lillian and I are about to begin either a CGC & TDI prep class or an Advanced class. This once shivering shy puppy we brought home has been blossoming into such a well mannered and lovable companion. Though secretly we've decided the Breeder did not give us a Shetland...

My pooch won't 'go' outside...
Kona has been going on his puppy pads on the balcony great! Now that he has finished his puppy shots, he has gone to doggie daycare and to the dog park. He will not go to the bathroom outside. We stayed at the dog park almost 2 hrs, he played really hard . I watched him closely so I could reward him...

Maxy Truly Loved It
Chilling Wind. No clouds. Maxy and I were excited for a training session today, Tuesday, 28th Jan. After the basic obedience training classes, we haven’t attended any sessions yet. Jas from Cali K9 San Francisco asked us to participate in the advanced training session, organized in a bare plowed...

The Training/Behavior "Chatter" Thread
I think this might be very interesting and educational... Or else it might die immediately. In any case... Benedict If you want a "training/behaviour chatter" thread a la the "mindless chatter" NDR threads, which can just travel from subject to subject, feel free to have at it....

Why is my neutered dog suddenly humping his pillow, and should I stop...

Teaching an old dog new tricks
Does anyone have any tips for teaching an old dog new tricks? Admittedly, when our dog was a puppy, I was super hyper with her. And now (she's three years old), while she's very friendly, she's a little "too" friendly with strangers and jumps on them when she meets them. Anybody...

Litter box training an adult?
I'll admit, when I first heard about litter box training dogs, I thought it was a little ridiculous. But I have come to realize that this may be a useful "backup" for my dog. I have a 5 year old neutered male Papillon. He's very intelligent and learns new things very quickly. Does anyone...

What does Ruby's "nose-punching" mean? (tacran)
First, let me clarify what I mean by "nose punching" so you don't get the wrong idea!! Sometimes when Ruby is really enjoying a toy (especially a soft, fuzzy one, which we rarely give her unless she's 100% supervised, because she shreds them in 2 seconds), she will stop chewing or...

Challenging Christmas visitor...

Little Girl becoming Dominant

We live with several other older female dogs and a young family with a four year old. She is starting to snap more at the older dogs and...

Sadie is peeing on my couch!
Sadie has peed on 2 different couches in the past few days. She had done this once before back in August, but with 2 different couches, its not a matter of left over scent. Any ideas why my couch? I have 2 theories. 1, is that she has a uti and is choosing the couch because it is soft. (Hard ceramic...

Submissive Urinating-- HOW IN THE HECK DO I FIX THIS?!
I adopted my dog Cooper last year as an adult dog (no younger than one, no older than three) and I've had him for a little more than a year. He is a good boy and he is sweet with my 8 month old (nine days out of ten). It has always been evident that he was severely abused in his former home. He used...
