We have a 7 year old rescue dog, he came from Spain, he has been here for 5 weeks and all has been fine until a week and half ago, he has started peeing and pooping upstairs in hallway at night, he goes out regularly 3 times a day, his last walk is a
Congratulations on adding Harry to your family! Dogs can get confused about housebreaking and its likely that he's not considering the upstairs a part of 'the house'. I would recommend to block his access to the upstairs anytime you are not there to be watching him. I would also recommend crating him at night so that he remembers that he can hold it through the night. I would do this for a month and then let him loose at night time (but not upstairs). If everything goes well for a few weeks, then you could try removing the barrier upstairs and see what happens. Best of luck!

Congratulations on your first dog! I recommend to first have harry examined by the veterinarian and have any vaccines, antiparasitics...etc updated. Bring in his vaccine records if you have them. Then I recommend to start reading about dog behavior and training. Your local library is a wonderful resource for books. Read books about golden doodles, golden retrievers and poodles but keep in mind that all dogs are individuals. Also read about dog training. One trainer I like in particular is Victoria Stilwel. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Yes, it is possible for a dog to develop a negative relationship with a human. To correct this issue, your mom will need to start using positive reinforcement techniques to build a positive bond with Cherokee. I would recommend discussing this with your mom. It could be as simple as having your mom toss a tasty treat across the room to Cherokee every time they meet. Shutting the door to the room will prevent her from urinating in there. Any urine accidents should be cleaned with pet enzymatic cleaner to remove any lingering smell or pheromones.

Potty time troubles-I can’t leave his Harness on him because he chews it up but if I dont, when its time to go outside and its not on him he pees everywhere What do I do
I would recommend keeping a flat buckle collar on Birch that you can quickly attach a leash to when it's time to go outside, or using a slip lead that you can just slip over his head on your way out the door.

Our black rescue patterdale barks at every sight and sound which means he barks constantly. What can we do. ?
That must be exhausting for you! Harvey could be thinking he's protecting you, so he's barking at every sound to let everyone know that he's there and to stay away. He also could be anxious. I'm not sure if you crate him at night or not, but if you don't, I'd recommend crating him at night. It will give him a safe space of his own to sleep in at night, and you can have the crate in your room if you'd like. I'd also make sure to get Harvey plenty of exercise during the day, especially at night before bed . Tiring him out will help him sleep better. He could be bored as well at night, causing the barking. You can put some toys in his crate to keep him busy, such as puzzle toys that he has to solve to get the treat. Should these methods not work, I'd recommend speaking to a professional behavioral expert on other things you can try to stop him barking all night.
