HE IS NOT GOING TO BE IN A crate HE WILL BE ON HALF AN ACER OF LAND
AND HE IS GOJNG TO HAVE A DOG WALKER DURING THE DAY

I am having some Philippino guests over and I want them to be happy.
What the hell is it with you guys? Nobody goes in a frenzy when we cook pigs and cows, yet you go angry when I want to cook a pup.

It’s not my pup it’s my relative’s pup. He seems to love to walk under your feet/between your legs.
How do you train him so he walks by your side?

My in-laws, with whom my husband and I are currently living with have two dogs. Both are rescues, one is a Labrador/Border Collie, she is spayed. The other is a terrier mix that we have had less than a week now, she is not spayed but is going to the vet for that on Thursday.
ANYWAYS,
This morning I had a doctors appointment, so I opened the front door (I had NO idea that the dogs were not trained to NOT bolt out the open doorway!!) And out run the dogs.
I am 34 weeks pregnant and I was unable to chase them down, so my father-in-law had to.
The first dog he grabbed was the terrier mix (who seems to think she’s MY dog, and rightly so, I feed/train/walk/play with/let out to go to the bathroom) he grabbed her by the SCRUFF, and lifted her up (she is NO pup), she yelped, and he tossed (yes tossed) her into the yard. How he got the lab mix I don’t know, I had to leave. He is VERY gentle with them otherwise, but his punishment methods are HORRID!
We are living with them until at least March.
How can I train these dogs to NOT bolt out the door and face his "punishments" they will not follow through on a training method I set up despite my experience in dog training.
The lab mix will not listen to anyone other than her master (father-in-law), the terrier mix listens to ME.
Any help would be appriceated.
I have never tried to train a dog without everyone training them the same way.

My Labrador puppy is chewing everything in sight! Anyone who wants to go outside beware the leaping lab for she is constantly jumping at anyone any chance she gets! I’d take her to obedience training but I think my parents have given up on her! With school I don’t have much time to train her please I need all the help I can get they’re trying to get rid of her. I hate pounds! Dogs can die in those and she could end up with some one who enjoys animal cruelty, or some other sick person! Any tips advice ideas. Any thing to keep her with me and prove to my parents and selfish brother that she is a good dog. Thank You!
And one more thing I forgot to mention is that im only 11 and all our dogs live outside so we can keep good smelling carpet don’t be rude about it i don’t like it either! Anyway I already said I can’t do obedience training because, well I can’t drive and no one will take me, and she’s my dad’s dog :I We had a lab before and he was really calm so I guess this was unexpected. I’d say she’s about five months. Thanks for everything though every bit counts. I really love this dog and would do anything to keep her. Plus im a shy person and my dad is gone for three weeks and back for three so lets just say me and my mom have a closer relationship. She cares but she hates dogs especially Marylou our lab. Soooo this is my only hope for the pup. I was working on training her but it’s so hot outside!!! I will put more effort in now!
Its useless they are gonna get rid of her im sure WHAT ABOUT MY FEELINGS!!!!!!!!! I don’t wanna see her go any advice i feel so helpless now i don’t know what to do im only 11 im overwhelmed im just starting middle school and now i wanna train a crazed dog all you dog lovers with a great bond for your dog try to put yourself in my place help me out

Today i started the crate trainin method. We kept him in a big box wich is of corse very clean and safe.
Put 2-3 papers down. His water dish and a toy so he feels home.
Whenever he makes a noise or cries we take him out in the place we want him to relieve. Will he learn this way??
He gets veryyyy bored in the box and tries to get out of it whenever someone passes. He is a aggressive chewer.
Is it nessecery to keep him all the day in the box?
Cause he DOES NOT sleep in there, cries jumps and all sort of stuu to get out of it… We kept him in the soil thinking he want to relieve but he slept there, took him to fav place and he dozed off. Is it alright?.
Should we keep him in the box at night?.
One of our servents sleep in a cot next to Tango(our pup)
Does this method work really? Cause Tango is not yet completely trained to leash and follow so we pick him from box to soil and back. Will it work if i keep him in the crate for 5-6 hrs a day?. Or for complete training full time?

i’ll give you all my info.

i am an 18 year old who has very little school left. my family has three wonderful and awesome cats, only one of which ever seems to dislike other animals (but she tolerates them and eventually gets used to new pets). i have wanted a dog since my father left with the family dog many years ago and now convinced my mother to let me bring a dog into the house. i’ll be going down to pick up a pup from a shelter this weekend.

i aim to get a labrador or a rottwheiler (sorry, is that how its spelled? my apologies if it isn’t). i have had great experiences with these breeds before. i would get a husky if i could but i fear i wouldn’t have an easy time training it because of how much energy they have (i know the other two do as well, but from what i’ve read, there is a lot of energy in huskies.)

my mother and i came to the agreement, she’d help me pay for different stuff for the pup, but it falls on me, not her and not my brother, but on me, to train and raise the pup.

hitting is a big no-no for me, the only time i’ve hit a pet was a light swat on my youngest cats head when he got too bite-happy during his little play-sessions.

before anyone goes off on me for wanting to get a dog when i got three cats, let me explain. i love the cats and they are as much a part of my family as my mother or brother, but they just don’t give me the kind of companionship i’ve experienced with dogs.

i’ll be getting help from my aunt and uncle on figuring out how to train the dog (who is going to be named Jack, after my old black lab) but i want to be as prepared as possible and hope that anyone here that might have some tips for the training might post them.

thanks for reading, and thank you if you have any tips, i greatly appreciate it.
yeah, i got that info, though school will also help with training them not to rely on me (i will of course be coming home on spares and lunches)

i got no problem at all dealing with accidents in the house, nor even getting up in the middle of the night.

one question is, for the dog types i mentioned, what brand of dog food would be best? i’ve been looking around but every time i find a supposed good brand, someone else is saying said brand sucks.
@ Just me

i don’t mind letting it sleep with me on the bed, if theres an accident i don’t have to to much to worry about as the bed needs to be replaced anyway. treats are a definate, and i’ll be using a kind of treat my aunt and uncle use (i think they’re called milk bone or something similar). unfortunately i live in a small town and i don’t think there are any training classes or anything like that around.
chip- now that i think about it, my highschools library has books on dog training, once the year starts i will borrow from there.

..how am i supposed to make them friendly? the puppy tries licking the kittens..but they keep scratching the pup.help!!

Now I know a lot of people do not advise getting a dog in college. Many popular reasons include, you won’t have time, you won’t have money, you will want to go out and experience things, etc. However, I feel like my scenario is slightly different (and I’m sure everyone who’s thought about this feels their scenario is different.)

First, I have well over ,000 saved up for expenses. Including the dog, equipment (cage, leash, etc.), and any first vet bills. This is all money saved up currently, and an addition 0 will go into my dog saving account after this summer, maybe more depending on how summer work goes. I will also be working part time in college, to make side money, and I also have some financial free way with my parents if needed. However, I do not want to rely on them for money obviously.

Secondly, I have an apartment that allows pets. They allow large dogs as well (I want to get a Golden Retriever.)

Thirdly, I know that Golden Retrievers do tend to mature slowly but I have dealt with them before. I am confident that I am capable of dealing with the slow age maturation and 2 year puppy-hood.

More importantly though, most people say you won’t have time for a dog, but I simply do not think this is true. I am at a large University, and my first two semesters I have made Dean’s list, my second semester getting all A’s. Simply put, I have an incredible amount of time, even when taking 18 credits.

I no longer need to take 18 credits, and if I decide to purchase my pup, I will be cutting back since I only need to average 15 credits the rest of my college career to graduate on course (4 years.)

My schedule for fall semester essential ends up being class for 1 hour, then a 2 hour window break, class for 1 hour then a 2 hour window break. And on Tue. and Thurs. my classes only start at 2 pm and both end by 430.

Furthermore, I hardly study. It’s not that I don’t take my classes seriously, its just that I’ve always been the kind of person to gain knowledge from lectures via auditory learning, not visually enhanced learning like notes or repetitive study. And not to sound arrogant but I am also pretty naturally intelligent.

I have a fiance who attends college with me who has a schedule that is opposite of mine. So when I have class she does not. So the puppy will have plenty of people time.

And in regard to any statements about damage control that I may be worried about, you’re going to have that with ANY puppy. The idea of having to fix up something, or some chewing, is simply a fact of having a puppy. It doesn’t matter if you live in a crappy apartment, or a million dollar house, there are going to be damages with a puppy involved. And in all honest, with the roommates i’ve had prior, I’m not too concerned with the damage a puppy will do. My roommates could probably out do the dog.

Also I am not considering adopting a dog. I’ve had friends who volunteer and have spent hours and hours in dog shelters, and a family member who adopted a dog. And I have found that many dogs up for adoption have a slew of issues ranging from aggression to just simple poor training. Some older dogs are perfectly fine in regard to training and habits, but may have health problems. And I think it is poor responsibility on my part to adopt a dog with such problems that I couldn’t handle or afford. Not because I don’t think I can, but because I would prefer a dog with a "clean slate" that I can train and handle myself and who obviously has good health and has (not to sound morbid) breeder "warranty."

Anyway, I am hoping for some logical, helpful, no-biased, and well backed up answers as to why I SHOULDN’T get the dog, or if you think I should why should I? Something to really make me think other wise or make me go all in.
