We have a dog that we just got a few weeks ago in our home. He has no way to take himself out but we are home almost all the time (all but 1 day a week), we take him out every 1-1.5 hours or so, keep out "doggy training (scented to attract – or so they say) potty pads", and when we are gone from home he is left in a large bathroom with a light. The problem is that we have to watch him EVERY minute or he will go "potty" in the house … and never on the pads. He likes to do his "deeds" right in the center of the walkway. When we take him out it is for a long time and we make sure he "goes" a few times before we take him in. Most of these are happening in the early am or late night, or he just sneaks off for just a sec around the corner and by the time we can get up to follow him it is too late. How we handle it: we are following the directions on the "potty pads" which says to scold animal by saying no to the mess, picking up the mess, then taking & placing animal on the pad (to associate it with going there?). Also, he has now begun chewing all my electrical cords out of the walls (ie cell phone charger, lamp plugs, anything elctrical, etc. even though they are hard to get to (blocked by furniture) he somehow gets to them (he is a tiny dog. And, yes, we have chew toys and treats for him. He gets chew toys all the time and treats are rewaards for "doing his business" outside. Any advice? What am I doing wrong? (He is about 1 yr old.)

Which trainer to hire? I am looking to get my dogs trained (two german boxers) but there are so many I don’t know which to choose. Right now i’m mostly looking around online but I am going to start calling and then meet in person, i want to ask the right questions. What do you think of these 2, they both have videos on their sites of their training

i have a 5 month old German Shepherd, he is such a trouble maker. He has a habit of biting our garden decorations, chewing on the hose, and digging out our plants. He has toys but he prefers to ruin the most expensive items -___- anyway i need advice on how to train him, should i buy him a muzzle or what?
(Ps. no training classes i am 15 i cant pay for those xD )
oh no i would never give him away, we love our dogs we have 5 of them, the muzzle part was a joke that is animal abuse(sorry if that offended any one)

1st Siberian Husky is 6 yrs old. He’s been the only dog for 4 yrs. He’s always been great at letting other dogs come over for play dates and sleepovers. Just got a 1 yr old Siberian Husky for his companion. Both males are fixed and are trying to establish dominance. I’d like the oldest to be dominate but I don’t think I can control that. Both seem to be alpha personalities. They got along fine at the dog park all summer so the owners gave him to me. Any professional advice? Should I have gotten a female? I know I have to give it more time but will it take lots of time? They don’t fight but they are tearing up my backyard with digging and wrestling. Also I separate them at feeding time but one won’t let the other eat and when I try to bring the youngest inside to feed the oldest is jealous and acts very stubborn i.e. won’t obey commands and acts like he feels he’s not loved anymore. I try to show more attention to the oldest to let him know this is still his territory but I don’t think I’m not doing things properly. They are playing me by vying for my affection and it’s working. Help!

My family just got a puppy from a rescue shelter. The place was actually a pet store but they also rescue dogs from the pound and put them up for adoption in their store.
So this puppy is not even four months old, but the owners of the shop take all the dogs in the place home with them every night, so he is somewhat house-trained. However, as I was getting up this morning he came into my room and got into a pee stance. I got him out of my room before he actually peed but, what are some good tips to ensure he gets fully house-trained ASAP?
We are already using the cage technique where you put the dog bed in a large cage and then let them out when they need to be let out. It’s supposed to work because dogs don’t like to pee or poop where they sleep and if you rush them outside everytime they need to go then they’ll learn outside is the place to go.
Also just training tips in general. We have another dog who’s about ten, very active and they’re both mutts.
