Barking non stop at door when put outside?

| The bed issue can be solved in 10 seconds, you just need to take control and order him down. When he makes a move to come back up, you stop it. Little talk, they can't understand our long explanations.
As for pee time, we started taking them outside, no play, just pee. If no action, immediately back inside, no scolding, no talk. If pee, then rewards, "Good job" etc so they knew they had done what was expected. If that means going back to leash training with this newbie, so be it. Pee time is not play time. |
| I agree....we typically do not have problems with house breaking fosters
BUT, we did get an ancient aussie that for a few weeks I had to leash walk out and let him know I was not going anywhere! He now goes with the flow and follows along with the rest! |
| He is trying to figure out the rules at your place.
Our vet had us take the pups outside on a leash to do their business. Once they were done, we could take the leash off and they could play. If they didn't start doing their business in 5 minutes, they were taken back in and put in the crate for 10-15 minutes. Then we tried going outside again. Continue this until they earn that they don't go in the crate if they potty outside. All three dogs like to cuddle on the bed for 15 minutes or so, then they hop off the bed on thir own. They usually like to lay on the cool tile. If you make the the bed uncomfortable, he wil leave it alone. But I love to have them cuddle. |
Any time you put a dog in a new living situation, you need to train as if it were a brand new puppy. With an adult it won't take as long for things to sink in as with a new puppy but the adults can't be expected to just "know the rules" of your house. So, out on a leash to go potty. NO play time when he is out to potty. As for the bed issue, let him know he isn't welcome to sleep on the bed. He may choose not to use the dog bed and just lay on the cool floor or a rug but at least you have let him know the human bed is not an option. My guys have non skid fleece rugs in their kennels. I usually find them balled up in the corner the next morning. They all seem to prefer the tile flooring. Even my old guy (over 11 years now) likes the cool tile although he uses the rugs for traction in his kennel. Mariah is the only one who if given the chance will race for the bed.  |

This method has always worked for us until they were trained.[/quote] |
