Jul 2008
Nancy has this problem:
“Just rescued a 2 yr old snoodle, Scooter, is is name, he was housebroken at one time but now is confused, you can walk him for an hour and he will wait until you are not looking or even looking and he will pee inside and hide to poop
I am now crating him when he is out of my site, is this the correct procedure? The only time he is safe to not pee or poop is in the bed with me at night, in his dog bed at the end of my feet in the bed with me. Please tell me how to teach Scooter to pee and poop outside so he can have free rein of the house when I am not home” more…

Golden Retrievers Eating Fruit From Garden

Karen has the following problem:
“I have two golden retrievers (ages 9 months and 3 years) that love fruit and vegetables. They have completely stripped my apricot tree and have now moved on to the peaches.

Any advice?”
Here are a couple of tactics that may help… more…
