Should I borrow my parents Older house trained dog to help with my puppies?

Ok here goes… I have three… count them 1…2…3 puppies currently residing at my home. There are two husky puppies that are 10 wks old and a papillon that is six months old. I’ve had dogs all my life, it’s just been a while since I had to deal with puppies. I’m working on house breaking them right now… all of them. My parents have an eight year old dachshund mix who has been (obviously) housebroken for years. Should I ask them if I can borrow Grettel (dachshund) for a couple days so they can see how it’s done?

I’m in training to be a dog trainer… so they’re well behaved, all three sit, stay, come, and lay down on command… they’re just having trouble with the going potty in the house.

I know I need to buy crates…

I know that is a lot of puppies… trust me… I used to run a rescue center with my family in California… this is nothing for me… I just need some advise.
I know that they are babies right now… and I have no problems waiting for them to learn… lots of patients is my middle name. I just wonder if seeing an older dog do it will help?

puppy potty training EMERGENCY?

Ok well i have a puppy she is about….almost two months old. When we got her we bought these puppy potty training mats that they learn to pee and poop on. I’ve been putting her on the pad when i see that she has to go to the bathroom and giving her a treat if she does it on the mat but if she doesn’t i rub her face in it and i wanna know if there’s a better and faster way because i hate when i have to rub her face in her pee it’s just really gross and makes me feel sad. please help me. if i can’t train her my parents wont let me keep her T.T
I dont know how to say this enough….

i didn’t know this is my first puppy and i’ve heard from alot of people that rubbing her nose in it is an affective way but i stopped because i just cant i feel so awful
So please BACK OFF!

EXPERIENCED German shepherd handler's only please help….?

So I bought this German Shepherd when he was 7 weeks old and He is now going on 2 years old. He was supposed to of been breed as a "soft temperament" both his parents are very nice and calms dogs. His father is 120 pnds and the nicest dog you will ever meet. Since the day we brought him home he pees everywhere when he’s nervous, like if someone knocks on the door he’ll go nuts! and at 8 weeks old he would try to lunge at people. This hasnt changed and has only got worse. People must think we beat him or something but have always been soooo nice to him. Here’s the funny part, He loves other animals. He gets along with a 2 1/2 pound dog wonderfully. Even lets the little dog take his chew toy right out of his mouth. He’s great with cats too. He is not food aggressive what so ever. His only problem is the peeing when he’s nervous and his extreme fear of anyone who he doesnt live with.

Any tricks at all to stop his fear of strangers? (Please don’t suggest dog training because he was kicked out for this behavior twice!)

Help me please I can't stop crying?

Okay so I have a younger sister who is 10 and 3 years ago she bought a pure bred Siberian husky when he was a puppy and today we just took him to be adopted by a lady who takes care of dogs and sells them to good people for 0. That way people willing to take a dog will take him. And BTW they have to fill out many applications to make sure he is a good dog for them. He was a beautiful beautiful dog, house trained, and neutered. But he has too much energy and we didn’t know when we got him that he would dig holes in the yard or try to escape the house (we even have an electric fence) And he tears up wood off the deck so now its unstable and chews the dog beds up and we can’t afford to take care of him anymore. He thought it would be better for everyone including the dog because he will have better owners who will excersize him. We love him very much but he is huge and my mom barley makes enough money she is only a part time Spanish teacher. Today we gave him to the lady and I couldn’t bear to watch, I couldn’t even speak. I feel so terrible that we did the wrong thing even though it was my sister and moms decision. I have no idea how he is or if hes okay or what hes doing and I felt as soon as we got in the car to go back home that a part of my heart got torn out. I can’t stop feeling guilty and as I type this I am crying all over the keyboard. Please help me figure out if it was wrong to give him to someone else. I need help :(
Everyone else is crying in the house its snowing outside I haven’t eaten all day and my best friend is mad at me I can’t talk to anyone but yahoo answers
BTW when my parents were not divorced we got the dog and my dad paid for it
In case you guys were wondering im 13

How do i fix my dog’s behavior?

Well, it started a long time ago when we got a chihuahua mix with terrier named cookie. Cookie was left to die in a house with decease dogs. So we brought her home and i trained her how to sit, potty trained her etc. But we started taking her on walks and she pulls the leash like crazy when another dogs walks by. Then for my tenth birthday( im 13 now) My parent’s bought me a schnauzer mix with fox terrier. She picked up on Cookie’s bad habits. Now we have two dogs going crazy at the park. Luna( my tenth birthday dog) barks and actually HOWLS to get to the other dog and cookie will actually choke herself to get to the other dog. Luna just wants to play but cookie wants to be aggressive. And they have one more bad habit. Whenever we have someone ring the doorbell the freak out too. They will attack the door and bark at the door for more than 30 minutes. How do i get them to stop this behavior. And i know treats work. But the problem is, they are so focused on the door that they don’t even care about the food. I’ve tried treats,ham,turkey,bread,and tuna. NOTHING gets past their attention but i was thinking something loud to go over there loud barking. Like a blow horn :3 Haha, Just PLEASE help ME with their problems. Thanks!
and spray bottles don’t work on cookie and luna enjoy’s water. Cookie was basically abused by spray bottles and so now whenever you have one she freaks. I DON’T want her to get scared. thats not how you train a dog. and im NOT stupid. I have trained 5 dogs in the past. one lab, 2 poodles, and a chihuahua. I only have two dogs, not three. I think im explaining my mane description wrong lol. When i said treats i didn’t mean it like reward them… I did it to get there attention off the doorbell and when they would go lye down THEN i would give it to them. So i know how to train a dog. And DON’T blame my parents. I was a young kid and i wanted a puppy. so i begged and begged. We brought Luna home and she developed one bad habit from cookie which led into numerous.
