Hello, she doesn't poop outside, but will pee. When we return from the walk she will go and poop on the wee wee pad. She is 17 months old. The other issue whenever I have company she gets so excited and continues to jump on them. When I put her in he
I would recommend investing in a crate that she can stand up, sit down and turn around and nothing else. I would not put wee wee pads in there and no blankets or toys. If she does not go to the bathroom outside I would put her in the crate when you get home and then 20 minutes later try again. It seems like you need to be very strict about the defecating. Regarding the jumping on people I would recommend having a trainer come to your home to work with you and her to make it so you are able to have people at your home. Than you for using Boop by Petco.

My pit is about 5 - 5.5 mths old. I’m having such a hard time potty training him to use the wee wee pad indoors until I can come home and walk him. I’m using a spray that’s supposed to attract him but no luck. Also when tapped on his bottom for atten
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! A couple ideas: try something like FreshPatch which essentially sends you a patch of real grass in a cardboard container. Or, try crate training since most pups will not pee in their “house”. Here is a good link for crate training. http://www.aahneenah.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/crate-training-your-puppy.pdf As far as the aggression, you’ll need to get that under control as soon as possible. Any form of aggression toward humans should be met with a firm “no” and stopping all play/walking. Practice just walking by and touching his back end frequently so that it’s normal and no big deal. Neutering often helps with aggression so keep that in mind. Finally, some dog require more intensive care so talk with your vet about anti anxiety medication or professional training.

How can I potty train my almost 8 month old biewer terrier because I am finding it really difficult to potty train her on a puppy pad.
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco. I honestly would recommend using Fresh Patch. I've had so many clients have success stories with potty training their puppy because of this product. It is basically a patch of grass that you order online that comes in a cardboard box that auto-ships to you to replace the used one. I would look into this and try it out to see if it helps more than the puppy pad. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi I am thinking of getting a puppy from a pet store he has been there since he was about 8 weeks he is now 36 weeks. Do you know of problems with puppies that have been "institutionalized " that long. He has been socialized well. He does pee in his
As long as he’s been well socialized then I’m not concerned. With crate training, leash walks to potty and praise and consistency he should be fairy easy to housebreak. Dogs that come from puppy mills or shelters where they are in cages all the time and not socialized can become shy and have some behavior problems, sometimes for a long time. Small dogs such as Paddington can be more challenging to train because they are cute and get carried around so be patient and stick to a daily routine. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Paddington.

Katie S- Ant tips for teaching a puppy to be home alone? No separation anxiety just haven’t been left more than 3-4 hours and would like to do it right! Also any tips for loose walking she won’t pull much expect new places and if she sees a dogs she
Lots of questions! Good for you wanting to make the world a better place for dogs :) Always be willing to learn! Keep an open mind and soak up all the knowledge you can. The dogs will thank you for that. OK. Staying home alone is something that needs to be build up over time. If you are 3-4 hours and she is behaving and quiet and relaxed you're on the right track! Just keep building by adding 10-15 minute increments each time. My rule for kennel is their age in months plus 1=how many hours they should be able to be kenneled (after working up to it), to the max of 8 hours. Any longer than that and they need a break. Loose leash walking can be taught easiest on a harness. You can use treats or toys to encourage them to stay close to your side and focus on you. If they get pulling to hard I stop, wait till they look at me then take a step backward. This usually invites them into you, and they quit pulling. They also didn't gain any forward momentum, so they didn't accomplish anything by p
