Those little puppy teeth are sharp and children's skin is delicate. I hope your son is okay. Was your son playing with the pup with a toy? A LONG toy (think a banana or a rope toy) is a good way to interact with the pup without having his hands in the way. Check out this link to a sticky in the first time dog owners section here on DF. http://www.dogforums.com/19-first-ti...stops-here.htm This is the best recommended method to work on...

I got Kaya doing the first part, just have to get her to lower head. I wish she wasn't afraid of my clicker. I might have to try a ball point pen or something.

Using an e-collar for this problem is like going flea hunting with an elephant gun. Your pup is either in or approaching rapidly the teen-age years.

I don't see an SA issue here. It sounds more like a crate issue and incomplete housetraining. Go back to Housetraining 101. Take him out every hour; restrict the water intake; praise and reward for pottying in the right spot. Continue with the crate training....making the crate a comfortable place to be. Go back to playing the crate games; praise for quiet and confidence. Move the crate so that it's in sight if necessary.

I have a feeling you're right - it was just coincidence because one happened in the evening and the next time was the next morning and he had been at my house earlier in the day and there is vegetation all over my yard - trees, branches fallen down, logs, bits of wood. When dogs/puppies chew things I guess they swallow it too!

IMO e-collar training should be an absolute last resort when all other training has failed. Your boxer is getting no where NEAR enough exercise and you need to instill some manners. I would absolutely recommend a training class but PetSmart isn't really training it's programming. They use the same format across the board for every dog. The one here does offer private lessons and that is the only way I could recommend a petsmart...

This is ONLY effective if the turn is made BEFORE the dog is able to tighten the lead.

I have quite a bit of experience with foster dogs. Once in awhile I would get one that was dog-aggressive and nothing we did corrected that. As you said, a single dog home was its only hope. Have you tried having the foster interact with your dogs on neutral ground? Fostering dogs is a rewarding expereince. I salute you for doing this. Many people talk the talk, it is nice to see someone ...

Socialization training is not really the same as training for a specific activity. Dogs respond to your leadership role in training so in that sense all training generally points in the same direction - placing you as your dog's leader. But that is only a broad generalization and so we need different approaches for different situations. In socializing your dog, you are training your ...

I would enroll your puppy in a good dog training/obediance class where he will hopefully get a little socialization with other dogs. Also, make your walks a wonderful experience for him. Our puppy was timid, so I started feeding her her breakfast and dinner during our walks, so she would have a positive association with the walk. As we walked, I would give her food for walking nicely. ...

Pick up his potty pad and move it outside. You have taught him that the pad is the correct place to go potty.. so why would he even think about going outside? If he doesn't make the connection with a clean potty pad, Try placing one that he has already used outside to help him. It is going to be more difficult to teach him that the potty has moved from inside to outside now than it would have ...

I'm negative trainer and I have no bad critique of clicker training. As far as I'm concerned if people use the "kiss dog's butt training program" and it works and they are happy, go for it. This is the training that every time dog does something you like, you kiss the dog's butt. This and clicker training do not hurt dogs in any way so what possible problems could occur. I don't use ...

Touch can be a key ingredient to reassuring a scared puppy. Having the crate close enough to reach down and touch the pup with just a finger or two....even letting them nibble a little, is often enough to calm them down. Puppies need to be close....reallly close to the rest of the pack. It's a survival instinct. Even a few feet away can be quite scary. I gradually move the crate as the pup ...
