Answer 1

here just use the paper for outside..where ever it says outside use paper..

First thing you have to do with a dog is us the same dry food. Dry food is the best because it cleans there teeth and it is not full of water. Until house broke, the dog should only be feed once a day at the same time every day. Walk the dog after you feed it. And I mean walk do not just stand there. Then walk him again a half hour after that. You should walk him as many times a day as you can until house broke. Walking helps it pass the food. Walk it in the same place every day. When they smell there own potty it makes them have to go. When the dog goes in the house, clean it up with vinegar. This does 2 things kills the smell+vinegar has a urine bass smell and the dog thinks you r marking this as your turf. When the dog goes in the house put the potty outside where you want it to go. Remember smelling his potty makes him want to go. So no potty smell in the house but lots of potty smell outside. You should have a pin or create just big enough for him to lie down. Most dog will not potty where they lay. Do not put anything in the pin that will soak up pee. When you are not watching your dog, he should be in the pin. If he goes in the house, you should catch him in the act and grab him and yell no then take him outside. Clean it up and take the potty outside. So to rap this up. Walk him as much as you can tell him good boy when he goes outside. When your not watching him keep him it the pin. When he goes inside tell him bad boy and take him outside..

Answer 2

Look up info on crate training--it is the best way to housebreak a dog. As far as the demodex, no you need vet care and medications. There is no home treatment. She needs prescription dips or medication given every day for several weeks, and the dosage must be calculated carefully so as not to be toxic. Also, antibiotics for skin infection is common ly prescribed with this mange mite.

Oh, dear. Kibble does not, not, not clean their teeth - this is a myth. Chewing on bones and even researching a little bit about feeding raw food will help you - many people feed raw and their dogs' teeth are fabulous. You cannot just start tossing them raw meat, though. There are groups online that will help with BARF and raw feeding.
