dog crate training 101 image
Corkey Daw
My dog begs when we have food b/c she wants us to share with her. She will stop if I tell her to but how do I get her to stop the habit all together.
Answer
I'd bet money that either you or someone in your family gives into her begging from time to time.
A lot of animal psychology is similar to human psychology. Psych 101: Random reinforcements are more effective at achieving a desired behavior than constant reinforcements. This means that if your dog gets a table scrap 1 out of 10 times she begs, that will encourage her to beg more than if she got table scraps every time she begs.
If you can ensure that she never gets any table scraps, whatsoever, the behavior should subside in time. In the mean time, put her in a "down, stay" while you eat. You may also consider crating her (if she is trained) or putting her in a separate room during mealtimes.

How to potty train a dog without using a crate?
Rena Fermi
Ok so I want to potty train my puppy girl so my mom won't sell it but I don't want to use a crate and pee pads, I want to take it outside to pee or let it pee on the newspaper! Please answer!!!
Answer
The best method for training ANYTHING is Positive Reinforcement (+R) +R uses Praise and Treats or Praise and a special toy that is ONLY used for training. When your pup or dog does a behavior you want them to do...such as going potty when you have taken them outside, YOU Praise and Treat them the moment they have finished going potty. You can even SAY..."Oh GOOD DOG!" the moment they squat and START to go potty. Of course if your pup is a little shy, don't yell out the praise, tone it down a little and sound very happy, proud of your smart little pup, just not too loud. If your pup is quite "full of himself" a real "happy-happy, joy-joy personality, you can be a bit more excited without scaring the pup or dog.
If you want to really set your young pup up for success, YOU initiate trips outside to start, till they advance enough to learn to âtell you.â I suggest with pups 8 to 12 weeks of age that they be given a chance to go out every time they transition from one activity to another.
This means: they wake upâ¦.go out, eatâ¦go out, playâ¦.go out, take a nap and wake up againâ¦you got itâ¦they go out! Young puppiesâ bodies are not developed enough to hold it, but a short time.
THE FORMULA: number of months old + 1 hour is about how long your pup
MIGHT successfully âhold it.â (3 month old puppy + 1 hr = 4 hours MIGHT HOLD IT)
This does not mean that an older dog can keep from having an accident for over eight, ten or twelve hours. A dog/puppy/for that matter, anyone, drinking a healthy amount of water and eating a healthy amount of food, will need to GO POTTY in a reasonable time frame. How long can YOU hold it, if you are drinking and eating normal, healthy amounts? I would bet youâd want to visit a bathroom for something during an eight hour time period!
The Formula is merely a guideline as to the development of your puppyâs body ability. Itâs not written in stone. If you are crate training your pup, it gives you a reasonable time
frame to consider if you or someone needs to visit the pup during the workday for a mid-day potty break or two.
Crates, Baby Gates and a Tether are just tools to help you and help set your dog up for success. The Baby Gate can keep your puppy contained in a puppy proofed safe room with an easy to clean floor. The crate is NOT a punishment, but is supposed to be your puppy's own personal place to sleep or be safely contained when you need to be away from home for a few hours. The Tether is what you can attach to yourself and your puppy so that you are totally aware of where the pup is and can easily look up and check on what the puppy is doing at any given time.
If you allow an untrained puppy or dog to run loose in the house without CONSTANTLY watching it, you WILL have accidents, they can't help it. So, that is why we take advantage of "tools" to help set the puppy up for success in NOT having accidents all over the house.
You don't HAVE TO use a crate, but using one helps you to keep your puppy or dog from having accidents when you must be gone from the house. That's all.
A copy of POTTY 101 is listed in my source below, it's what I give my clients for House Training. Small change..do not use garlic on anything any time, it can build up to toxic levels with dogs. I'm in the process of updating this document.
