Question by L S: How do I get the hubby to understand he needs to train the dogs too?
We have one Mini Eskimo, (My dog) and a Llasa Apso (His Dog) The eski is timid and shy but learns quickly and is pretty obediant. If I am trying to give the Llasa a comand, the Eski acts like I am talking to her and starts to shake and freak out when I am repetting the command to the Llasa and she isnt doing it. The Llasa is very stubborn and refuses to obey me. She just ignores me or goes over to him and he lets her lay there and do nothing all day. On walks the Llasa pulls really hard and has injured my shoulder and neck from pulling her back, and trying to teach her not to pull. The Llasa snaps at and bullys the other dog, and snaps at the hubby, kids and strangers. She has never snapped at me tho. She also eats everything in site and wants more. She is fat and has food allergies so she needs to limit how much and what she eats. The Hubby sees no need to train the dogs or disapline his dog. He keeps saying he wants to just get rid of her just to spite me when we fight about it. I dont want to give up on her, I want to train her. When she is left alone while I am trying to train the other dog she sweats, barks incessantly, and deficates in the cage. She would be put down if we gave her to the Humaine society. We are planning to have kids and he cant see why its so important to train his dog before she bites our kids. I also dont want to be 8 months pregnant and have a dog pulling me down the stairs every time I potty them.

Question by Natalie: How do I train my dog to go outside and stop using the puppy pads?
We live on the 10th floor of a high rise apartment building and there is a small patch of grass downstairs. When we go him he hadn’t had his last shot and we were told to keep him inside a month before we even let him on the streets. He then got food allergy so we ended up waiting even longer. We are in Brazil and the streets are really infected with fleas etc as there are A LOT of strays here and our vet kept stressing not to take him on them until he was fully vaccinated. I have trained dogs in houses before with a yard but never an apartment. At this moment I am crating him at night and first thing in the morning I take him outside to pee. We then walk a 2 block radius. He refuses to walk the first block so I usually am encouraging him with treats. After the first block he walks like a champ. He won’t go #2 outside at all. During the day when I take him he will hold it until we get back home.I walk with him after his meals. I have read other posts where they say walk in a large circle in an open area but there are none over here. Just streets. He is still young only 5 months but I want to break the potty pad habit as soon as I can. He will hold his pee up to 8 hours in the crate but pees almost every half hour on his pad. The pad is outside on the balcony, I obviously cannot move the pad closer to the door little bits at a time .. Any tips would be helpful!
MamaBas.. I do not keep my dog crated for sh*ts and giggles. I crate him at 11PM to 6:30/7 AM. I am pretty sure this is not uncommon. Apartment dogs are so common that there are professionals who actually recommend breeds. I am asking advice on how to remove the puppy pads from the picture as we started using them in the beginning for his protection not because they were easy. If anything please give advice on teaching my boy how to “hold it” and not me on crating tips. He uses the pads because they are there and though I am sure “relief” features into the equation he doesn’t need them every half an hour. He is house broken though as he doesn’t mess inside anymore. Thank you for your response though.
