crate training

Recently, I adopted a 3 month old female lab/german-shepard mix. She's extremely adorable, and I love her to death. However, i'm having a couple of problems that i'm sure you great people at Paw Talk can help me with. 1) My puppy absolutely HATES her cage. -I bought her a big cage, seeing as...

I have a twelve week old Vizsla. After the first week she started peeing in her crate. Not all the time but at least once a day. The crate is the right size, we give her a kong to keep her busy, she gets lots of exercise, she spends most of her time out of the crate. We have had her urine...

Hey everyone, I'm new here and need some help. Here's the story... I have a 5 year old beagle mix, Kona. I crate trained her about a year and a half ago because she was waking me up in the middle of the night to go out and also because there wasn't enough room in the bed with the new boyfriend...

Hello All, thought I'd get opinions on our situation. We have a 4 1/2 year old springer spaniel who was never house broken in her life. She is from a kennel living situation where all the dogs can eliminate whenever and where ever they want to. We have had her for about 6 weeks now, and for the...

I recently got a siberian husky for christmas :D from my amazing fiance. I love her death and her name is Penelope and shes 7 weeks old. I know its hard to train a siberian husky but I never realized HOW HARD!! I think Im doing everything right she stays in her crate when she cannot be...

We just adopted her from a family that kept her in a fenced-in area outside. She's 2 1/2 years old, healthy, and very sweet. BUT we found out she is not housebroken. We are crating her to teach her, but she's soiled the crate 2x already. Any ideas are greatly appreciated as to what has...

My 10 year-old Lab has been reluctant to sleep in his crate. He'll go in and bark for five to ten minutes and then go to sleep but at about three or four in the morning he'll start barking again. My husband and I both work and sometime we have to be to work very early so he's being incredibly...

I just got my first puppy in my adult life. He was born November 10, 2007, and I brought him home in February. I potty trained him pretty quickly, and he started to go days without an accident. He finally learned to go to the door if he had to go, and I was so proud of him. Now fast forward a...

Hey everyone :) I don't have dogs yet, but I've always wanted them and Chris and I plan on adopting as soon as we can, which is probably going to be as soon as I get out of college so I have more time to spend with them. We already know that we want to get 2, so that when I do eventually get...

Im not sure if i introduced Tanner on here yet or not.. some of you might remember i Posted awhile back One of Davids friends had an uh-oh litter, she went into heat and got pregnant before there appointment to get her fixed.. but shes fixed now, and most of the puppies have found homes except...

I need to get this out before I explode. We had brand new laminate flooring put into our house, as well as new carpeting in a couple of rooms (one being the baby's room). We have a door up in the baby's room, as well as gates so the dogs cannot get in there, as they like to pee on the carpet...

Ok, like I have said in another thread we adopted a 3 month old Pomeranian. This is my first puppy. We have another dog but we adopted him when he was 4 years old. Now my hubby has raised and trained puppies but its been 20 years. Our older dog is my first dog in my life. He is such an awesome...

Okay, so here we are again. Every morning, since she was 3 wks old, she wakes up around 8:30am & has to go outside and potty. Usually I let her stay outside and play while I got back to sleep for an hour or two, unless its nasty out and then she comes back in and goes back to sleep too. The...

excuse me for ranting...but sometimes my puppy gets on my nerves. I'm home all day long, and am with her 24/7 and I'm sorry but she gets on my nerves at time. She likes to pee under my bed, chew my shoes, and thinks everything is hers. sometimes I feel like i hate her. *sigh* i know i dont...
