Comment on Can I use a dog crate just for house training? by Sam W

hi,

Some people worry that crate confinement is cruel, but if you do it right, your dog won’t see it that way at all. His crate can be a cozy den where he retreats from household chaos or just relaxes. And once he’s housetrained, your dog will have the run of the house as well as a nice little den of his own–just leave the door open for him.
here are some guidelines:

hope this helps.

Hello,

Definitely yes because crate training is the easiest way to house train dogs. Crates also help dogs prevent boredom and separation anxiety. Here are the training tips:

Comment on Dog Training – What are people more interested in, Training Puppies or Training Adult Dogs ? by just me

you can teach old dogs new tricks but if the obedience traing doen't start right away as a puppy then you will have a hard time training your dog to do anything. Obedience training will make your dog a better dog. So start with that and then move on to bigger and better things.

Yes, that’s what many people do.

You maybe could still keep the crate for when you are gone so the puppy can’t get into things.

It all starts with training your dog from the start,so focus on pups.A well trained puppy is a well behaved adult dog.
Include advice for adult dogs as well.Many people instead of buying pups,get older dogs from the humane society or from rescue groups.The old saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks,is not true,it’s just a saying.Providing some good advice for people with older dogs,it could save many of them from a return trip to the shelter.

Comment on Potty Training tips for a 22 month old? by SIMON

I waited until my daughter was 3 and she took to it really well.
I let her choose her own knickers, and kept saying every day that soon she would be wearing the knickers and would not need a nappy. I warned her that the next day she could wear her knickers. I had a potty in each room.
On the 1st day, I said ‘we don’t wear nappies any more’ and just said that quietly whenever she made a fuss. She quite quickly forgot about it.
i kept asking her if she needed the potty – having one in each room meant that it was always easy to get to as she always left it till the last minute.
Key thing is not to make a fuss when she has an accident. Even saying ‘oh never mind, we’ll get it right next time’ gives her attention for the behaviour you don’t want.
The thing my daughter responded too most was having a reward chart (there’s loads you can print off for free off the internet). When she did a wee she got one sticker on her chart and one on her t-shirt (I got stickers from her favourite tv prog). When she did a pooh, she got 2 stickers on her chart. i told her that when she had filled a line on the chart she could have a treat like going to the park, or watching her favourite TV prog, or have me play a game with her.
I found that the wees were sorted first, when she went down to sleep she would hang onto her poo and then do it in the sleep time nappy. That was fine and she soon started doing them on the toilet-we got a padded childs toilet seat from Mothercare that goes on top of the ordinary one so at least she was comfortable and not falling down the toilet. we also got some Kandoo children’s toilet wipes which were her own and made her feel special.
We got a travel potty that 12 months later we still have in the car so we’re never caught short.
Good luck!!

ok its good u want to house train ur dog but i don't think its a good idea to crate train it cuz it would make it become more aggressive towards anyone in the family or friends even if ur using a cage

You left out important information, like as much info as possible about the dog’s past, what the kids were doing right before they were bitten, and why would the mail carrier be in the yard with any dog on their route? That is potentially dangerous.
If you enrolled him in obdience class, you quit because you didn’t say he graduated.
You are not equipped nor knowledgable enough to handle this dog, call the rescue you got him from and demand they take him.

Most dogs don't like the mail delivery people anyway and as for children, they should not be left with any dog unsupervised. So please don't have the dog put down. Maybe re home to a house with no children.

Honestly after having gone through this 6 times, )and I know you didn’t want to hear this)I find that its better to wait until they are REALLY ready or you end up being the one in charge of their potty efforts which IS exhausting, meaning you will have to be asking them if they have to go bringing them unzipping wiping etc, at 22 months kids usually are not that great at picking up the signs that they need to "go" I also found that there are less accidents and relapses if you train them later (about 2 1/2). signs that they are ready would be being able to undress dress themselves, being able to tell when they have to go, and a big one is that they are bothered by being in a wet or dirty diaper an ability to get on the toilet helps also. I have 6 children the hardest training was with my 20 month old (first child) the last two were easiest. Also my son had NO interest in going and could care less about walking around in a dirty diaper, but by waiting for him to be more ready a few weeks after he turned three he was in underwear and had no accidents EVER not even at night. the other children were trained between 20 months and just turned 3. Also one other word of advice, get a hold of as many pairs of training underwear as you can (the thick ones) they are hard to find but carters makes them. Do not use pull ups, unless it is for night time or really long car trips. Pull ups are a big waste of time and money, kids are not dumb it does not take long for them to realize they are just a fancy diaper so when you are both ready just put the underwear on and don’t go back, you might want to cover your couch though ; ) good luck and congratulations on the new baby on the way! oh and it really is not that bad having 2 in diapers if the potty training doesn’t work out yet!
