We have a 6 month old Cockerpoo.

When we are out walking and he spots another dog, he either sits or lays down, or starts stalking. Then when the dog approaches he jumps up and gets in the other dog’s face.

Some dogs are very patient with him, but others (understandably) give him a big warning bark.

When does this end? Is it something we need to train him out of, or will he just calm down over time?

I don't know where to begin.

My little baby—a cute ball of fluff—decided to test his biting abilities on me.

I'm walking and he's biting.

I'm sitting, and he's biting.

After ten minutes of licking, he bit my feet while I was lying down and cuddling.

He brings his ball to me to play catch and bites me.

When I come home, he jumps, licks me, and gets so excited, and then he bites.

I bought him coffee wood chew toys and every kind of entertainment, but he still wants to eat me.

Ugh!

I'm not that delicious!

My 4-month-old puppy has gotten so much better sleeping in her crate. After one last bathroom trip, I put her in around 11pm and she crashes out nicely. She always wakes us up at about 4:30-5am for a morning bathroom trip. We try to put her back in her crate after, but she whines and cries nonstop to be let out bc she missed us all night. My bf usually will get up and sit with her in the living room when this happens. This makes him grumpy all day and asleep by 8pm. I feel it is also teaching her to keep doing her behavior. Neither of us can stand listening to her dramatic cries and whines if we leave her in the crate. Any suggestions for what to do?

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.
