Q. He is about 1 year old. We got him from a pound. He moved from the streets, to a high-kill shelter in Tennessee, to a boarding home in Connecticut, to my home in NJ. He is a mixed breed of Shihz Tzu, Poodle, and Lhasa Apaso. HELPâ¥
I let him out every hour, and he still goes in the house! So that's really his only problem!
MY DOG IS COMPLETLY TRAINED!:(

Answer
Below are Crate Training/House Training Tips.
When you are leaving the house, or going to bed for the night, do the following. Never actually shove the dog in the crate, either throw treats in there, or sqeek a toy and put it in there. The dog will eventually learn that they have to go in, if you place them in front of the crate, and say the word.. Place the dog in the crate, along with some safe toys. Close the door, give a treat, and say your crate command.(Such as, night night, crate, or bed). Leave.
**I DO NOT SUGGEST CRATING PUPPIES THAT ARE YOUNGER THAN 12 WEEKS**
Repeat slowly extending the time, and make sure you leave time between kennel times, to spend with your puppy. Never expect your puppy to stay in his kennel longer than the age he is in months plus one. (example, if your puppy is 5 months old, only leave it in there for 6 hours. No dog/puppy should stay in it's kennel longer than 7-8 hours.
Rules:
1.Try to teach them that their crate is a good place. Reward them when you place them in the crate. This is teaching them, that a treat comes with good crate behavior. Always keep your dog in the crate, unless you can keep a good eye on him.
2. Another option, if you do not want to place your dog in the kennel all of the time, hook his leash to your belt loop, this way he can not go off and use the restroom somewhere, and you don't know about it.
3.Always take him outside after;(ON A LEASH); rough play, after he eats or drinks, after being let out of his crate, after he wakes up after a night or if he is,
sniffing,staring at you,whining, or sitting at the door.
4.Don't ever hit your dog, or rub his nose in his mess. This will just teach the dog to be afraid of you.
5.Don't feed him or give him to much water, before you plan to put him in his cage.
6.Don't expect your dog to hold it's restroom, more than the age of the dog in months, plus one. But no dog should have to hold it's bladder more than a 7-8 hours.
7.Be patient!! That is the key, to housetraining. Of course if you get too overwelmed, you can always buy a book, or ask a professional trainer!
8.Always, when he goes to the bathroom ouside, give lots of praise and treats!!
9. If you expect your puppy to go outside, and dont use puppy pads when he gets older, starting out with puppy pads, is not a good idea, because this trains them that it's ok to go inside, and then before they know it, they cant, it is to confusing for them.
10. Work out a schedule that fits your lifestyle. Feed your dog the same time every day.
11.When you go outside, stay outside until he uses the restroom.
12. Dogs while first potty training, need to go outside every 2-3 hours.
13.Do not make the dog smell his mess, strike him or lock him ouside. This will just confuse the pup, and it might be afraid of you.
14. Ignore whining, unless you KNOW that he/she has to go to the bathroom.
Good Luck!

Flying with nervous dog, from Oslo, Norway, to Newark, NJ?
Q. I'll be moving home to the US this summer, and I'm planning on bringing my dog with me. Only problem is he's very nervous. I'll be flying home in July, and have my grandparents ship the dog for me around September or so, so he'll be flying on his own. I'll pick him up at Newark of course. Anyhow, as he is extremely nervous (I can't even raise my voice without him shivering), I'm wondering if he'll survive the flight? Is it possible for him to die of fear? He'll fly with United Airlines, and i don't think they allow drugged animals to fly. It's an 8hr30min flight, so it's pretty long. Does anyone have any advice for me here?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
Answer
Never fly a drugged pet - and you are right, many airlines won't accept a drugged dog - it's far better he doesn't come round m id-flight, and panic. You could use something like Rescue Remedy in his water for a week or so before flying, and there are non-drug remedies, like Kalm Aid (UK) which work. If he's used to being in a crate, that will help, and if he's not yet, get his airline crate and set it up in your living area, door open, so he starts to use it, hopefully, as his bed. That would make him more familiar with being in there.
I've flown my hounds, both ways (different hounds) from the UK to Toronto which is not quite as long as the flight you are doing, but still significant. In all cases they arrived, both ends, just fine. I hope your dog isn't a young puppy - the youngest I had shipped from the UK to Canada was 5 months. I took one of 4 months to Geneva from London, going on the same flight with him although he was in the hold. But that flight was short, obviously. Again he was fine. I'd not fly a younger puppy however.
Obviously you'll need to have him in for a health check (and paperwork) before he flies, so at that point, your vet should check his heart to make sure he's fit.
If there's any possibility of him expiring during the flight (very unlikely - once the flight is underway, he'll probably settle down for a sleep - it's just the preliminaries that could upset him), don't take him with you. Much as I know how you feel - initially I refused to go to Canada unless my hounds could come with me!!! - perhaps if he's that timid, finding him a good home where you are would be better?
I would say I think you are wise going out first, and getting him shipped to you once you have your accommodation sorted out.
Add - I'd seriously doubt ANY airline would allow you to have a dog with you in the cabin, for a long haul flight like that!!! Well, well, strange that I've flown both ways across the Atlantic many many times during the 15 years we were in Canada, and never saw a dog in the cabin. I can't see how any dog can be in the cabin with other passengers for upwards of 8.5 hours without stinking the place out, for starters.
