How to get dogs to stop chewing?
My friend has 2 beagles
1 female – not fixed
1 male – fixed
Both over 1yr old
She says they chew on her furniture, her daughters clothes, EVERYTHING
They stay either outside or in the kitchen while she is at work.
The dogs have lots of chew toys from stuffed animals to rubber chewies.
My suggestion was maybe their plethera of chew toys resemble their household items too much. For example a stuffed animal can feel like clothing or furniture cushions.
Any suggestions from y’all?

Dog aggression, is she hopeless?
Well my female American Bullldog/ Border Collie mix has severe aggression towards other dogs and people sometimes. She was fine as a puppy but once she was about a year she got really aggressive.
She started attacking other dogs at the dog run. She’d be fine until a bone or ball came out and then she’d fight the other dogs to get the item even if it wasnt hers. Or if I had her at the dog run and another dog came by me she’d stop whatever she was doing and charge at the dog and attack it. Needless to say I stopped taking her to the dog run.
My vet said that I should try getting another dog because she seemed to be fine with puppies. So the vet said if I got another dog that she’d be able to grow with it and get used to being with other dogs.
She was fine with the puppy at first but she started attacking him anytime he’d go near her food, any bones, any toys, or if he’d try to go near me. We started seperatin them because I can’t train him when she is always attacking him when I’m trying to work with him. That seemed to work well. I kept them seperated unless there was no food, toys, or bones anywhere. And I wouldn’t pay individual attention to either one in particular.
Now the last 3 days she’s been attacking him for no reason. She’ll just charge him and attack him out of the blue. And when I’m saying she’s "attacking" I mean drawing blood even when the puppy is laying on his back giving up. And she just keeps going at him. I pull her away and she’ll charge at him. I keep having to take the puppy to the vet because so far shes bit open his face and it formed an absess, she bit a chunk out of the tip of his ear, tore up his leg, and bit open his lip. I try to pull them apart before any damage but she doesn’t let go and keeps attacking.
She’s ussually good with people during walks unless someone gets within 3 feet of me, then stands between me and the person and growls. I don’t know if she’d actually attack because most people stop approaching at this point.
She means sooo much to me and the thought of putting her to sleep isn’t an option. I was planning on just keeping her and the puppy seperated almost all the time until he’s full grown because he’ll be very large and the vet said that should help.
The problem now though, besides everything I listed is the fact that I found out a little over a month that we’re having a baby. And I’m afraid that she’ll be jealous of the baby and attack it if it touches any of the dog stuff. I’ve never seem her around young kids so I don’t know how she’d react. She was fine with my younger siblings but they were 11 and 12 so they weren’t very young.
Is she hopeless? She saved my life and was the only thing that got me through my boyfriends suicide in 2007 and I can’t just get rid of her or out her down. Please help and no mean comments please I really just want serious answers.
She went through multiple obedience classes and has never done anything to me. I can touch her toys, take food out of her mouth without any problems. I’m actually the only one she listens to. And she’s been with me 24/7 since I got her and is very submissive towards me. Anytime I yell at her she automatically rolls unto her back is submission. And I’ve had trainers try to work with her but they are impressed by how well trained she is and can’t figure out the problem.
She’s currently 1 1/2 years old. She was fine for the first year. I moved out into an apartment for about 4 months and she stayed with my parents for four months and I got her back 2 months ago and the aggression started. So I’m not sure what happened during those 4 months but that’s when she changed.

How do I get my dog to stop barking at other dogs?
I adopted my dog in august and I’ve taught him all the basic commands and he is really obedient but whenever we go on walks and he sees another dog he starts growling and barking at him. Strangely enough he doesn’t growl or bark at dogs that are already barking at him and we took him to the groomer and he did great! When we came to pick him up he was in the doggy daycare center and playing with the other dogs! How can I get him to start liking other dogs and stop his aggression towards them?

2 separate questions re: dog training (crate training and obedience)?
I have a nearly 1 1/2 y.o. male shih tzu who I have been crate training for about 8 months. I admit I haven’t been the most consistent with that, solely due to weather (rarely if it’s raining/snowing outside I put the wee wee pads down) but for the most part, I keep to a schedule with him and reward him with play/treats. He was trained on wee wee pads first so he knows to go on them if they’re down. We just moved and he’s had two accidents, he didn’t go to the wee wee pad that was down (it was pouring outside) and the other day he pooped inside just after having come back in from outside. My first question is, how long does the crate training take to work? I know many will say I shouldn’t be doing both the crate and wee wee pads but he knows both and hasn’t had any accidents in a long time. My ultimate goal is to allow him free reign of the apartment without wee wee pads, or to know that he’ll bark when he has to go outside but how long should that take?
My second question is about his obedience when he sees people and other dogs. He barks uncontrollably (out of excitement) but it will not stop until we walk over to the other dog. Sometimes that’s not possible in which case I try so hard to get him to stop. I firmly say ‘no bark’ while lightly tugging on his leash, or I kneel down and look him in the face and say ‘NO!" Should I bring treats outside or do something different?
Great answers and tips! I agree it’s too long for him to be on the pads but it’s also impossible for me to move them closer to the door in my new apartment. There is a staircase leading to the front door and he fell down several steps when we first moved in, so now he won’t go near them, and I carry him up/down the stairs.

How to you make a dog stop barking?
I live in an apartment building, and in the building across from mine, there is always a yappy dog barking the backyard. Today it was barking for more than 3 hours straight early in the morning. I do not know anyone in the other building, but I can hear the dog clearly through my window. Are there devices that emit a high-frequency sound and makes dogs be quiet? My neighbor across the floor also has a dog who barks whenever the neighbor leaves. Hopefully this solution can deal with both.
