How to train a dog to live outside the house?
I have a chocolate lab approx. 7 years old. My husband adopted him 41/2 yrs ago before he got married. Since then, he only live inside the house except going for walk. The dog doesn't like to go out to the backyard nor anywhere by himself.
I need to train him to live outside the house in a kennel because I have extremely allergy to dog. Does anyone out there can share information how to train him to live outside the house?
Thanks.

Is it ok to beat your dog when training it?
i just got a new dog and would like to know if beating when it does something bad is the only effective way to train it?
ok if theres one thing I hate, its a dog that doesn't listen. If my dog starts doing something like scratching at a door, what alternatives are there other than yelling at it and hitting it? If I do that, then he'll associate me yelling at him with pain. Then hopefully the next time he does some... (continued)

shih tzu not sleeping at night
My 9 month old shih tzu will not sleep through the entire night anymore. He has been crate trained since I brought him home at 6 weeks and up until about a month ago he would sleep through the night. I always take him out last thing before I go to bed. Now he wakes up at least once, whining and barking for no reason. I thought at first when he started doing it he may have needed to go outside however, when I would ... (continued)

The Dog-Wolf Link and Dominance Training
Thanks for taking the time to comment Pethealthprofessional.
Dealing with behavioural problems, such as the ones you mentioned in your comment, was way beyond the scope of this article. This articles' purpose was to encourage people to see that behavioural problems should be addressed on their individual merits, not dealt with under the umbrella of dominance.

The Dog-Wolf Link and Dominance Training
I really did not see anything of value in this article. So, the author criticizes an established method of dog training? The evolution of dog training has seen methods rise and fall in popularity. I am happy that she has a dog that can sit on the couch with her, walk ahead of her, eat before or with her and that she has no problems. There are many dogs, that for some of the reasons she has stated, won't challen... (continued)

her hopeless handler
After my four years of postgraduate study of animal behaviour, you might expect that I’d be expert at training our pets. Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I’m hopeless. Not quick enough. Not sharp enough. And way too soft. I grasp the theory, but fail the practical.
I do TRY however and have recently started taking our Labrador Lila to a second round of obedience training. The first round occurred when s... (continued)

Aggressive
Recently my 1 1/2 yr old black Lab has become aggressive toward people. If she hears or sees someone strange, neighbors kids or neighbors, she will charge them. The kids run, which make it worse, and the adults usually yell at her or swing at her. How can I break her of charging people and listen to my command. She is normally a very timid dog, loving, and protective of me.
She came to us as a stray, we took ... (continued)

ideal dog of australia
Several months after posting "her hopeless handler", I can now happily report that I consider myself Lila’s hopeful handler. Things are definitely looking up. Her behaviour is not perfect, but she does what she’s told more often than not.
We recently attended an obedience course at the Kintala Club. Training that relies on food not force. Designed to help you and your dog at the end of six weeks pass a ten-task ... (continued)

6 month Maltese won't potty outside
We received a free Maltese puppy about one month ago. She was pad trained to potty indoors. Once we brought her home, she seemed to be using the pads as expected, but in the 2nd week started to pee and poop on any carpet throughout the the house. I finally bought a crate and took up all the pads and started trying to train her to go outdoors because she seems to be confusing the carpet for the pads. I've put her on... (continued)
