I have a 3 month old puppy, it's the summer months here and I've trained him to potty outside on the grass. He does not potty or poo anywhere else now.

This night it rained and I had trouble making him pee and poo on the grass because he does not want to step on the wet grass. He steps on wet soil but he potties on the grass only, not soil.

I may have to train him to potty on the soil as well. I did this so I don't have to use pee pads. What can I do about this?

I have a TV on an open TV stand in the living room room. Behind that stand is a rat’s nest of wiring for a host of other things: modem, router, hard drive, Roku, DVD drive, radio, soundbar, Internet cable, Ethernet cables, et cetera et cetera. I have not seen a single good way to hide all wired connections and power strips from an inquisitive and teething puppy. A box can’t work – too many disparate connections. I’m sure I can’t be the only one facing this. Any thoughts?

Started bringing my puppy (4mo female pom) to training classes to help with her anxiety around large dogs (from a distance). At the end of the class (only 30 mins) our trainer said she made good progress going from hiding to observing and accepting treats. She was understandably tired when we got home and crashed for about 3 hours.

Ever since we got home she is really cranky when I try to take her on the leash even if it's after a nap. I really noticed it this morning when I took her out first thing on waking up and she was wired off the bat. I'm trying to let her get some more sleep but she seems restless. Is it possible shes still tired after yesterday and would it possibly help to give her a low stim day? I usually train her 20 mins everyday.
