Block their view or don’t let them out unsupervised so you can control the situation.

Try google, that’s where that site popped up. They’re called Personal Protection Dogs or PPD.

I’m not advertising that that is a good site, it’s just what I found.

No clue. I do know that protection training is extremely expensive and many countries have rules regarding where dogs with such training are not allowed (parks, government property, in public at all, etc) Be very careful if you want to protection train your dog and research the laws regarding dogs with that training.

If you are into well-crafted, guitar-driven power
pop gems with irresistible hooks, this is the album
to look for. It’s Rick at his best - just listen to
Love Is Alright Tonite, Everybody’s Girl, I’ve Done
Everything For You and of course Jessie’s Girl. Rick’s
talent as a songwriter, singer and guitarist is very
much in evidence here.

Comment on Anybody know of a good dog obedience school in West Texas? by BCDawgMa Luv My Chynna

I’m not sure exactly where in West Texas you are located. But here are 3 very active AKC Obedience training clubs in West TX. All 3 offer Obedience classes at all levels & Agility too. I show at their Agility trials 2x a year. Lots of nice folks. Check out their websites from the links below. Hope one of them is fairly close for you.
Midland, TX— Permian Basin Obedience Training Club: http://www.pbotc.com/
Lubbock, TX—South Plains Obedience Training Club: http://www.spotc.org/links.html
Amarillo, TX—Amarillo Obedience Training Club: http://www.aotcdogs.com/
If none of these is close to you Google dog training in your city or look in your yellow pages for places near you that offer training classes.

Edit: So maybe try the South Plains (Lubbock) or Permian Basin (Midland) clubs.

Comment on I’d like some advice on how to potty train my dog.? by Kelle

Training a dog . of any age, to go outside is initially very time consuming. that is why so many don’t get trained.

A dog is a creature of habit.
Whatever it does over and over again becomes a habit for the dog.

So how do you make going outside a habit?

You take it outside every hour until the dog starts showing you in some way that it wants to go outside.

How long this takes depends on the dog.
I take mine to the same spot outside where he smells the pee. I say ‘ "hurry up" - or some cue word
Now, whenever I say ‘ Hurry up ", he goes.

There may sometimes when dog comes in and pees - especially in the winter_ but you stick to the plan.
The plan sometimes fails because owners are in too big a hurry to get inside.

Walking fast down a block will also cause a dog to poo/pee.

Puppie pads… try putting them by the door. and every time your dog uses it give them a treat, and praises… and every time that he goes to the bath room out side treat and praises. thats what we did with our puppies. now they scratch at the door when they want out to go potty. good luck

It is refreshing to find a responsible pet owner on Y/A that is willing to do what it takes to solve pet problems and does not call their pets stupid or threaten to get rid of them.

I recommend getting your brand new carpet professionally cleaned by someone who specializes in pet odor. It seems more likely to me that both your dogs are probably still smelling where you new dog has gone and that is encouraging them both to go there again. I have had good luck with a cleaning product called Folex to clean up after my old cat when she misses the box (or in her senility forgets where it is, Joy!).

Something I have found helpful with two dogs is to put go potty on command. I use "better go now". To train this, I go out with my dog every time. When the dog pees or poops in the right place I say "good better go now". Once they learn what the words mean you can then tell them better go now and within a minute they are doing their business and you are back inside.

If you dog is going potty on the carpet, it sounds like you are not using crate training. I used it early on with both of my dogs, but as soon as they were trustworthy in the house I forgot about it. You may want to try that for a few weeks.

Good luck with your doggies.

Well what you should do is get a potty trainning mat,
Next Get him to pee on that when he does give him a treat .
And allow the mat to be closer to the door, For potty ,
