Dogs | Puppy Care and Training

We just received a new small puppy (Morkie), and live in a high rise in Chicago. I would like to teach him to “go potty” both inside and outside. It seems almost impossible to teach a “high rise” puppy to go exclusively outside so I’m starting with inside paper training. Any suggestions as to if this is the right approach? Any ref’s you can suggest? Thanks.

My partner is currently free but may start work within the next few months. We would like to get a puppy but are wondering whether after the first few months, it can stay on its own for the day. Breeds we have in mind are Goldern Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkshire Terrier and Labradors.

I have a co-worker who brought their 4 month old teacup chihuahua on a weekend trip with the girls. She would put the puppy in her purse when going into any sort of establishment. This strikes me as a young age (especially for such a small and delicate breed) to be out and about. (not to mention the purse part). She got the puppy at 3 months old, has barely had her for a month. I may be way out of line on the age thing, I’d appreciate some insight (myself and another co-worker are curious).

I have a yorkie,maltesemix puppy. He is 12 weeks old and about 3 lbs. I also have a 3 yr old daughter. My problem is sometimes she drops something on the floor I stress to her how important it is not to let anything fall on the floor cause it can hurt puppy but sometimes it happens and he runs so fast and like to eat off the floor and even outside when we go. How do I train him not to? We are going to a puppy class soon but what can I do in the mean time?

I’m getting a puppy in a few days and the breeder just took her into the vet for her first set of shots. The vet noticed that the puppy has a tiny area near her groin that had a little fatty bump. The breeder told me that it could possibly turn into a hernia. The breeder is a great lady and said she would be pay to have it removed when we got her fixed. I was just wondering if anyone thinks this is a serious problem? Should i wait until she is old enough to be fixed to get it removed or should I have it done sooner. It hasn’t turned into a hernia yet but there is the potential of it happening. Has anyone had a problem like this? Any help is welcomed! Thank You!

We have used flea collars on our other dogs before and they have worked out really well. I want to put one on my puppy but I have not been about to find any for her. All the ones I have seen are for older dogs. Do I need to wait till she is older to get her one?
Well I am sorry flea collars have not worked for some of you, but they have always worked for us. And they have never smelled bad. I don’t know what you are talking about.

My puppy pees anywhere, except the bathroom, where i want her to go. When i see her smelling around and about to sit and pee, i quickly carry her inside the bathroom. But, when she’s inside, she doesn’t want to go. When she leaves the bathroom, she’d then decide to go and pee somewhere else.
I think I’ve wipe of her scent whenever she pees as i always spray Lysol on the spot.

I am thinking of getting this puppy. The breeder is French but can speak English.

The puppy is 10 weeks old. Will she be confused when I give her commands such as when house-training etc…

I know this is kind of a weird question but I just want the puppy to be comfortable here.

My german shepherd puppy is 10 weeks old and I have been feeding him regular puppy food. My breeder said I should wait a certain amount of time before I feed him large breed puppy food because of something that has to do with how fast it makes them grow & it’s now good for them???
Has anyone heard of this or do you know if I should start feeding him large breed puppy food yet? Thank You

I have a 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy. I have heard of dangers of over exercising the puppy (developing joints etc). Then there are those who say that off leash play (where the puppy takes cues from his body) is just fine. I am confused about how much play / exercise is OK. I don’t want to cause harm to the puppy. Any insights would be very welcome.

I just got a new puppy and she comes to work with me everyday about 20 min from my house. At first the puppy, Grace, would just sleep in the car. However the last couple rides she has cried and shook the whole time. How can I calm her down and get her used to riding in the car?

Our puppy is 7 months old. How will I know if it is safe to let her roam? She occasionally still bites furniture, but is potty trained.

He has four vets,accupuncture,massages,hydrotherapy,vitamins and other supplements. Pretty much the best care that he can get. I wanted to know what else could I do? He has come with me everywher since he was a puppy. He has a bike trailer,a wagon and a trailer for my riding mower. He goes to the beach twice a week, goes walking twice a day. I just wanted to know what else could be done.

When I was a child growing up we always had a dog. Anyway the other day I went to the pet shop and saw this cute adorable puppy. At the time I was just looking around, but now I decided that I would love to have a little companion. I was told that its best to adopt. What is the process of adopting? how much is the pay, do i have to report to somebody?

Also , pet owners is caring for a dog hardwork? I want a medium to small dog that doesn’t get so big. Its been a while since I cared for another animal and I am not aware of the responsiblity can you give me some feedback with your experience? I’m thinking of maybe getting something like a puggle.

I’m planning on adopting a chihuahua soon and she will be able to come home with me in February. I will be going to school three days a week for a few hours. I understand that a chihuahua is okay for a few hours on it’s own, but is it any different when it is a puppy of 12 weeks? Will there have to be someone there with it ALL the time until it is older or will it be okay? Also if anyone has any experiences with raising a puppy i would appreciate advice. Thanks!
I really appreciate the advice i’m getting, but if anyone could i’d appreciate more on the main question. Would a young puppy of 12 weeks be able to be alone while i’m at school? I’ve heard they need to be taken out to pee almost every hour.
