Probably the number one problem puppy owners have to deal with is house training.
I hear these questions every day:
- How to I get my puppy to go outside?
- My puppy messes in the house, what should I do?
- House training 11 month male dog?
- House training a dog in cold weather?
- Please give me advice on puppy toilet training?
I have written and posted an article: How to house train a dog - easy steps.
The keywords are patience and consistency.
Stop Leash Pulling
This is probably the second most asked question:
- How can I teach my dog not to pull on his leash when I take him for a walk?
- How to break dog from pulling on leash?
- How to stop a boxer from pulling on a leash?
Read my article: Don't let Fido pull you.
Here I would really advise you to start early. Do not let your dog even come into the habit of pulling you, especially if it is a strong large breed. Again be patient and consistent.
Do not give in!
Dog Barking
Another question that I'm often asked goes like this:
- My dog barks all night, why?
- My dog barks at the ceiling, how can I stop that?
- My dog barks in the morning to wake us, what can I do?
- Dog barks while I'm gone, what must I do?
- My dog barks at people in hats, why?
- My Australian Cattle dog barks at husband, is the dog jealous?
All these and many more are questions I hear regularly. Most barking is because the dog seeks your attention, and it mostly works for him and that is why he will continue to do so. Read my article Stop the Barking.
