So I recently got a beagle and she Is very energetic and verry bity she loves to bite everything she sees from tables and chairs to socks and clothes and how old does she need to be to be potty trained a I go outside with her and take her to go potty but when we first got her she pooped and pissed in every single part of the house. So what are the first things that I should train her and how do I teach her to go on daily walks?

It’s fast approaching 5th November (firework night in uk). Our cockapoo is 2. Last year he didn’t seem bothered by fireworks, however this year he’s going crazy and obviously (stupidly) they’ve started already. Please has anyone got any advice that isn’t medication? I really thought we’d made it without him being fearful but he continues to surprise us! 🤣

I could use some advice. My five month old puppy and I just moved into an apartment in a busy city. She has spent the past few months in the country and was pretty well potty trained in her spacious back yard.

We have a lot of walkways and greenways nearby, so she is getting lots of exercise. However potty training is an issue. She is crate trained and hates to go inside. However, when I take her out of the crate and take her outside, the plethora of smells in the city overwhelm her and excite her. We will walk on the greenway for up to an hour, and she will not stop to pee or poop. When we get back to the apartment, she runs around whining for a place to go. I will take her back out. Another 30 minutes. Again, too stimulated to pee or poop. Mind you I take her to the same places and find some quiet, off the path green spots and tell her potty. I have even tried standing in the same spot for up to ten minutes, hoping she gets used to the scents in that area and then is ready to go.

Nope.

We go back inside and then she ends up peeing in a corner of the room. I don’t scold her, and I have puppy pads down.

Does anyone have any tips for transitioning her to doing this outside in a busy city? Maybe it will just take time. It has only been a week.

I've always wanted a dog, and when Jolyne arrived, I was very happy. The problem is that since I work split-hours mornings and afternoons, I don't get to spend much time with her, and she's always with my parents. She loves me, but I don't feel connected to her. In fact, she always follows my mother around, always wants to be with her, and I can stay in my room, but she never comes to me. How can I become her human? There is a possibility to be that for her? She has 5 months now

I adopted a lab mix in June. At the time she was 4 months old. Very very sweet and energetic dog. She was afraid of everything and very timid. Over the next few months she got comfortable in the home and trusted us to protect her and became best friends with my 5 year old Frenchie.

I took her to puppy training classes and while she wasn't the smartest pup in the class she was very eager to try to follow the commands and get treats.

2.5 weeks ago she got spayed. And the last week has been hell. My sweet big baby has just become…..very aggressive. Everything she does is at 1000%. Mind you she's still recovering but is running full speed and jumping and plowing into me. We taught her high five. She is aggressively hitting our hand now. She would follow commands to sit or lay down, now she will do it for a second and then bark in a way demanding a treat. We used to go on walks and she'd be timid with loud cars, now she is trying to drag me and pull me each and every way and chewing the leash. We would play fight and she learned soft bites, now those soft bites hurt (not vicious).

Admittedly, while she is recovery we are going on less walks. We were walking a few miles a day prior to the spay. Is that the issue or should I be concerned this behavior will continue or get worse.

Okay so ofcourse first things first my puppy is obviously just a puppy with her pup behaviour but I need some help

We have her since she was 10 weeks she is now 17 weeks old ( 4 months ) and she is quite smart and we try to learn her alot. Just one thing I can't seem to get is to stop her from shredding my clothes and limbs.

So I try redirecting her to toys, and reward her when she stops. We have chewing bones and toys for her teething but for some weird reason she only bites me quite hard and ripps every good piece of clothing I have and I end up crying every time bc of it and I just need to know if that will ever stop.

Weird thing is my fiance didn't really wanted a dog but agreed and now he is absolutely adorable with her but somehow she only listens to him with things she can't do like the biting, she doesn't bite she tries but never does and then ends up licking instead of biting idk if it's bc of his leadership energy and I'm too much of an energy or what but she really chose him. I go on walks with her the most and with training with commands and stuff she still listens very good until I try to do some hard stuff like learning roll over she just bites my hand where the treat is but that's okay. We try to give her as much excersize and brain excersizes what she can handle and try not to over do it so she doesn't get overwhelmed.

When she is peacefull she is really cute and comes to cuddle and stuff and gives kisses sometimes she bites but only when were like playing. So when we play I quit the playing when she bites me ans try to ignore but it hurts so much when she bites my legs and hands and arm I end up crying so she doesn't stop ofcourse. We do crate her at night since she likes to chew the walls and couch and stuff so for her and our sake we crate her for the night. But should I like give her 5 minutes time out when she bites me or? Yeah I have no idea I never had pups only adult dogs that were like 3 years or older so this is my first rodeo.

I think I'm trying my best but I just don't get why she doesn't bite my fiance but just me. I just wish she stops biting every piece of clothing I own I don't want to spend money on a whole new gardarobe ykn.

Anyways it's a mix breed of a frysian stabyhound and a american stafford but mostly a dutch breed. Her nose is more on the ground than in the air but that's okay I let her sniff alot she likes that. Also she comes from a farm of 11 pups and when we got her she was really scared of people and other dogs but I think we did a very good job she now honestly likes every dog and wants to play with everyone so she already changed big time and were proud of her.

Anyways does someone has tips bc It's giving major puppy blues but I'm never getting rid of her, atleast she doesn't bite my hair anymore.

If you made it this far thankyou for reading I appreciate that very much ! Sorry for all the words.

She is called Luna and a sweet one but that biting my clothes and lunging on me is just the most annoying thing ever 🫣

I have a 9 week old Golden Retriever, and in preparation to get him I did a ton of research and planning for his breed and needs.

We’ve been pretty successful so far in a lot of ways! I got him when he was 8 weeks old, and so far he knows how to sit, recall, potty outside, and is crate napping on a routine! Buuuuuut of course the puppy blues still showed up 😂

I’ve read a lot about how hard the puppy blues can be, how long they can last, and that they will subside, but if you’re willing to share I’d love to hear what it’s like on the other side! ❤️
