Open Question: Potty Training, Dominance, And Being Outside? |
Okay well I have 3 different questions or topics. 2 of them have to do with the same dog.First one of our bitches is in heat, the other who is more submissive usually is humping her. She’s not spayed. Whats causing this? I usually just distract her for a moment and she won’t do it for the rest of the day, usually. Its odd. (Spaying is NOT an option, she is a show dog and needs to stay intact.)Second has to do with the first dog. She just turned 4 years old. And since we have had her she hasn’t had an accident until now. All of a sudden she is pooping in the house like crazy, sometimes its soft and sometimes its normal. Can stress cause this or is it something else?Then we have a rescue German Shepherd. He lives at my dads. He gets super stressed when he is inside. He gets very restless and nervous, probably due to his previous owner. So he usually lives outside. His shelter is completely wind resistant and has lots of blankets in it. And its probably 5 ft by 5ft. He has been sleeping inside lately because of the weather but doesn’t seem too happy about it. Do you find it cruel for us to leave him outside? And How can we get him to over come his fear of being inside?
