Craig is having trouble with his English Cocker Spaniel puppy:
“We Have a 51/2 month old english cocker. She does well in here crate at night and during the day. But a lot of times when we go away even for a couple of hours she makes a big mess in her cage. Any suggestions”

It seems from what you have said that she is OK when you are at home but not when she is home alone. You could try making a recording of you and your family going about their daily business and leave it playing quietly when you are not there, or leave the radio on. Another factor is that there should be no fuss when leaving or returning, as this will increase any anxiety your dog is feeling.

Lynn has a potty training and socialization question about her new shih-tzu puppy:

Hester asked the following via email:
“My 12 week old chocolate lab pees in the crate constantly. His crate is small and he’s got room to turnaround and lay down but he doesn’t seem to mind laying in his urine. I don’t want him to think that it’s o.k. to pee in the crate and I’m at my wits end with cleaning him and the crate up all the time. He can’t even make it in the crate for 2 hours”
Here are my suggestions… (more…)

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…)

Tracy contacted me via my Squidoo housetraining lens:
“I have a seven month old Boxer and I can’t get her potty trained. She doest seem to care if she soils where she sleeps and she gives no signs of needing to go out. I take her out every time she wakes, plays or eats, sometimes she goes outside and then within a few minutes she goes in the house.
