In reply to June Lamont. June, I am really sorry for your loss. It's a terrible thing to lose the ones you love most. Puppies traditionally need a lot of guidance and patience, especially when it comes to toilet training and mouthing/biting. Restricting your puppy's access to the carpeted areas unsupervised will help...having her on-leash with you whenever she is in that area is also a good strategy to avoid an accident. Make sure she has been to the toilet recently prior to taking her in there and keep her initial visits to those areas short. Once she is used to the feel of carpet she will be less likely to have accidents in there. My website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com covers toilet training and also how to overcome mouthing/biting…maybe take a quick look…its a $1USD trial for 3 day. I've also written a Blog about both of these issues, you may be interested in my advice there. All the Best, Doggy Dan

In reply to Don Moreland. Hi Don, the world outside their home can be a really scary place for some dogs and it's important to remember that other strange dogs pose a very real threat in our dogs eyes. It is most likely that your dog's reaction is a fear based one, and that she is confused about what her role is in her family. This is a behaviour I can definitely help you with, as well as the other issues you mentioned. Take a look at my website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com where we show you very clearly how to overcome this behaviour...its a $1USD trial for 3 days…All the Best, Doggy Dan

I lost my husband this year. Am finding my feet and thought a companion dog would help. I bought a Shih Tsu x toy poodle. I can’t seem to toilet train her. She’s great on hard floors but as soon as she is on carpet she thinks she can do it. She goes toilet in garden on command,. She’s also very bitey and draws blood sometimes. I’m at the stage where I wonder if I’ve made a mistake getting her.

I have an 18mo German Shepherd female. Due to covid and some other issues she was not socialized to other dogs when she was a pup. Now when I take her to the dog park she will charge at other dogs barking like she is going to attack but as soon as they turn towards her she will tuck her tail and run sometimes yelping in fear. She is friendly with people and goes up to them calm and wants them to pet her. If I rattle paper or she sees me pick up her brush she will run away. She is also an excesive digger. What information do you have to address these specific problems?
