i have a 3 year old boxer/german shepard mix who gets distracted easily. it is horrible taking skye on her daily walks because of it. cars, dogs, cats, squirrels, people.. anything that moves she wants to go after. sometimes she even pulls me down. she does commands very well inside the house (when there are no distractions) but getting her to do them outside is a joke. what can i do? does anyone have advice for me? thanks so much

She will not even cry when she has to pee she just goes. I have worked with her day in and day out. I take her outside when she eats, sleeps, etc and she goes outside. But she goes when there is an once of pee in her!! It is getting out of control I take her outside and come inside and find 5 spots I am at the end of my rope, any one know a food proof plan?? She is 7 months

We have a dog that we just got a few weeks ago in our home. He has no way to take himself out but we are home almost all the time (all but 1 day a week), we take him out every 1-1.5 hours or so, keep out “doggy training (scented to attract – or so they say) potty pads”, and when we are gone from home he is left in a large bathroom with a light. The problem is that we have to watch him EVERY minute or he will go “potty” in the house … and never on the pads. He likes to do his “deeds” right in the center of the walkway. When we take him out it is for a long time and we make sure he “goes” a few times before we take him in. Most of these are happening in the early am or late night, or he just sneaks off for just a sec around the corner and by the time we can get up to follow him it is too late. How we handle it: we are following the directions on the “potty pads” which says to scold animal by saying no to the mess, picking up the mess, then taking & placing animal on the pad (to associate it with going there?). Also, he has now begun chewing all my electrical cords out of the walls (ie cell phone charger, lamp plugs, anything elctrical, etc. even though they are hard to get to (blocked by furniture) he somehow gets to them (he is a tiny dog. And, yes, we have chew toys and treats for him. He gets chew toys all the time and treats are rewaards for “doing his business” outside. Any advice? What am I doing wrong? (He is about 1 yr old.)

i have a 10 week old purebred german shepherd. hes mostly house trained and he does tricks. id just like his manners to be a little better. he bites our hands and face when we pet him. and he’s chewing on everything. i know this is known behavior for puppies, but is there anything i can do to stop it?
