I have a male rat terrior he is 5 months old. He was fixed at 4 months. I thought that would calm him down but it hasnt. He bits all the time and i tell him 'NO BITE' and grab his snout. He is potty trained on a wee pad but when we take him outside he wont go, if we play out side for a long period of time he will and when he does i make a big deal about it. He jumps on the table all the time, he chews on the couch, gets in the trash, and begs for food, and i tell him 'NO' and to 'get down' its like he does not know the meaning of 'NO' he is also losing his teeth.

If anyone has any help tips id love to hear them.

Thanks

Sounds like you have all the typical "puppy issues"... not uncommon issues at all. Let's take each of them one at a time, ok?

First of all... I do not recommend trying to train a puppy to go on a piddle pad AND to go outside. You are confusing the dog...he does not know what you expect of him at this point. Decide on one way or the other and train the dog to either go outside OR go on piddle pads. Don't try to do both. Once you have your dog trained to ONE of these methods .. then you can proceed with training the other method. Please don't try to do both at once. You can leave piddle pads where you might want him to go... and if he does on one, that's fine. But don't force it at this point.

As far as "biting" all the time... this is a dog's nature. There is another thread under the training forum that addresses how to correct this, including the use of a spray bottle of water. Getting his attention in a way that won't hurt him will be more successful than grabbing his snout which he may resist. (in my opinion...)

You can lure the dog off the table (or any other furniture you don't wish him to be on) by offering him a treat... give a command such as "off" and when he jumps down to get the treat, praise him LOTS. Or... you can pick him up and put him on the floor and say "off" and give him a treat and praise him. Soon he will relate the verbal command with the physical result you are seeking.

Make sure he has plenty of things to chew on (a kong filled with peanut butter) other than your couch. Teach him the "leave it" command... get his attention and say "LEAVE IT!" and reward him with a small treat. Again... soon he will relate the verbal command with the physical result you are seeking.

Put the trash where he can't get to it when you aren't around, and when you ARE around and he gets into it... use the spray bottle of water ... squirt him with it and say "leave it".

All of these behaviors you are describing doesn't make your puppy a "bad dog". He's simply a puppy and doing puppy-type things, and they can be corrected with patience and a commitment from you to spend the time with him that it's going to take to end up with a well behaved dog.
