Why has my 1 year old female poodle started going to the bathroom on my sofa?

The sofa is used but my mother-in-law did not have dogs. We also had the sofa for 2 weeks before Bella started going on the sofa. We do have a cat inside also. Bella is potty pad trained and has never used the the furniture or floor in the past. I have removed the cushion covers and washed them and sprayed them down with cleaner. With in 2 hours she used it again. HELP please!!!!!

Question about Hen laying behavior.?

This spring we purchased 10 RIR pullets. I can’t remember exactly how old they are, but it’s between 16-19 weeks. Unfortunately two of them were killed by our dogs before we got their permanent coop done. A few days ago we purchased 7 RIR laying hens that are a year and a half old from an older couple who could no longer care for them. They have apprx 10 sq feet each inside the coop and 20 sq feet a piece outside run. we have 12 nesting boxes built for them, cushioned with pine shavings. We also put a couple fake eggs in the boxes to show them what it’s for. They have free choice layers crumbles, oyster shells and fresh water. They also get a little treats from the garden (not too much). The night we brought home the older hens, we found 2 eggs. For the next couple of days there were none. Now the last two days I have found one a day. How long is the adjustment period for the older hens? Should my younger ones be laying any time now? This is our first year raising chickens, so i’m not sure what to expect!
I had never heard of that. One of the chickens we just found dead with her feathers torn out. I didn’t see who or what did it, I just assumed it was my dogs. The other however got into my livestock guardians pen and that’s where we found her. I beat both of them with the bird, as that’s the advice I read previously read online.

how to correct bad behavior in my dog?

she’s a 9 yr old GSD. she is currently having authority issues. she used to respond to "no" and/or any other kind of "punishment"

she is an outdoor dog, and usually sleeps right by the back door. the problem is that she has suddenly gotten to where she jumps and scratches at the door. she has shredded the screen door, and i’m afraid that she will tear the wooden trim around the door completely off. if i open the door at all she tries very hard to get inside. saying ‘no’ doesn’t have any affect whatsoever. throwing her back doesn’t do anything. i block the door with the patio furniture and she’ll drag it away so she can scratch at the door some more. she’ll practically push me over trying to get in. i’ve learned that twisting the ear shows that i am dominant and even though she’ll whine when i do it, as soon as i let go she’s back at the door again clawing at it. on top of that, she has taken to pooping in that spot right by the door where she usually sleeps.
dogs never poop in their sleeping spot. there’s only two things i can figure. either she’s old enough she can’t get up quick enough (doubtful since when i go outside she runs and jumps like a puppy) or i saw this thing on the discovery channel where ancient dogs would poop on things so that nobody else could have it. is that what’s she’s doing? telling me that if she can’t come inside that i can’t use that door? she’s driving me nuts! i’ve tried everything. i’ve even tied her up to a tree in a kind of ‘time out’ when she does it. she’ll usually stop immediately after being let loose again but eventually, here she comes scratching at the door again. i’ve done everything i can think of short of throwing her on her back to make her lie in the submissive position with me on top in the alpha position. i don’t do that because she has some back problems and i don’t want to injure her, though i’ve come close to slamming the door shut on her head cause she won’t let up. PLZ HELP!!!!
she’s not cold. she’s a german shepherd, and she has a thick coat even for that. if it’s outright snowing we let her in, but otherwise she’s fine. believe me, if i could keep her in at all times, i would, but the parentals don’t want a big dog in the house. storms scare her, but we usually let her inside during storms anyway. she only does this when she thinks we’re home. the neighbors are definitely not an issue. my house is surrounded by old folks that don’t get out much and the kids in the neighborhood are too young to have that kind of a mean streak. I have taken her to the vet. they say she has a back injury which we are treating her for, and i am not about to put her in the submissive position because i don’t want to hurt her. and so you know, i try not to slam her head in the door, i’m not mean, but shen i’m already shutting the door and she sticks her head in, well, i haven’t hit her yet but i’ve come close and only because i’m watching her carefully.

How do I cure my great dane 10 month old of seperation anxiety?

I have a 10 month old dane, we also have 3 other dogs in addition to her. If I leave her in the house while I run errands, even if I am out of the house for 10 minutes, I can count on something being destroyed. Countless shoes, trash cans, cigarettes, mail packages, you name she’ll eat it. So I started putting her outside with the rest of the pack and then she eats the deck, the patio furniture, the doormat anything she can fit in her mouth. What do I do?? This dog has gotten to be SOOO expensive! I have done the whole leave her for 5 mins come back & praise her, leave her for 10 mins etc. Nothing seems to work with her. Scolding, spanking (mildly, I am not abusive), rubbing her nose in it. What else should I try?
We know it is not loneliness.
Thanks for all the response. The dog is my baby and I treat her as such. She is extremely spoiled and cooed over and I know that that is where the problem comes from. I work from home and she is the biggest lap dog I have ever seen. I will have to try crating her, I am concerned that she will then chew the crate of her her self trying to escape. I can’t even get the mail with out her having a tantrum. It is getting EXTREMELY costly. Thank you all. I will keep checking for more responses!!

Pretend you are my daughter and put yourself in her shoes, How would you feel about me as your Dad?

So I was diagnosed with lung cancer last January and my daughter wanted me to live with her while I recovered and went through chemo.. she and her worthless girlfriend owe me around ,000, so they told me they would be happy to have me and help out, along with my three dogs that I’ve had for over 4 yrs. So by the grace of God, it turned out not to be cancer, but a genetic disease that is going to kill me anyway, see, I was adopted myself as a child and never knew my families medical history. During my recovery from surgery, my daughters girlfriend of ten yrs cheated on her and moved out leaving her in a place that she could not afford on her own and therefore could not support me and see me through my recovery. She basically kicked me to the curb, let her girlfriend give two of my dogs away, up and moved and took my flat screen tv, patio furniture, 50" flat screen tv, microwave, etc. etc. she basically ripped me off along with her girlfriend and they are back together now that I have moved in with another daughter five states away. I refuse to talk to her as does the rest of the family. and I am taking her to court and suing her for the money she owes me along with all the personal items she and her girlfriend stole from me and duress and and emotional stuff… so how would you feel if you were my daughter? I didn’t want it to come to this, but the rest of the family insists that she be taught a lesson, she has taken advantage of other family members also, I just found out about those incidents… thanks for your honest response… one more thing.. I raised my kids by myself for twelve yrs after their mother passed away from cancer, I thought we were close, I guess ya never know though..

Should I be held responsible and if so for how much?

Friends of ours watched our dogs (2) for 10 days while we went on vacation. I wasn’t expecting this for free so I bartered work. I worked like crazy…they had just bought a new home that was trashed and I helped clean,paint,repair,move etc almost everyday….after work and on weekends….for two weeks…Now I didn’t mind because they were doing us a favor. On top of that we (husband and I) also spent almost 0.00 to clean their carpets, and help with some cleaning/painting supplies. I wrote a care list that explained everything to a T, packed everything that my dogs would need while we were away. They took in a puppy KNOWING that they had an obligation to our pets, so I voiced my concerns….They shrugged it off and away we went on a much needed trip. While away I called a few times and there were minor issues but nothing horrible…. Upon arrival all was well then the next morning I get a phone call and my friend is mad. She stated that "my dogs ate her outdoor furniture". I asked her what happened and she said she went to let the dogs in (after being outside, UNATTENDED for at least a couple hrs!) and the cushions were destroyed. I asked her which dog’s into which she applyied she didn’t know but the holes were big (implying mine did it?) . I asked her why they were left a lone for so long with out supervision(by the way I had it written in the care instructions to watch them regularly) plus it was over 100 degrees outside. She said that her husband let them out early and she just lets them in and that’s how they had been doing it the entire time. Well I am not saying that my dogs are completely innocent but they NEVER chew anything but bones and toys, unless provoked and I feel that ALL of them may have played a part. Here’s the thing, my wishes for their care weren’t followed as directed….ok I can live with that but I feel as if I am expected to replace 4 plus cushions to an old dirty, smelly , nasty hand me down (not a family heirloom!) OUTDOOR seat. I am beside myself with this and can’t believe that this is even an issue. I understand her frustration but my instructions were ignored, no proof of which dog or dogs did it and I feel as though my hard work/money was not even acknowledged… If I had charged for my labor as well as the carpet cleaning then it would have been cheaper to board them! I am willing to pitch in and purchase used cushions but nothing more , what do you think?

Can I get evicted from haven a dog or a grill?

We moved in and got a dog, we ask the mantience man who is the father of the landlord if we can have a dog and said yes. There was also a lot of other ppl who had dogs, even the lady that lived in our apartment had cats because our baby room smells like cat pee. So we got a small dog who is the sweetest dog, doesnt pee in the house or bark and wake ppl up. No after some stuff we got new landlords, we have had like 4. The latest one just gave everyone a not saying we had to get ride of a dog or be evicted. Were trying to obey the rules even we thinks it was unfair, but now she is makeing up all these stupid rules one which is no patio furniture or grills, and we just bought a grill. Can she do this or not.

Dog watching for a friend. I have a dog of my own and…?

My dog is house broken. The dog I’m sitting for is also housebroken but he is not spayed/neutered and he keeps "marking his territory" all over my home. He puts his leg up and so he’s peeing on furniture, walls, my dogs toys and whenever I try to get him outside to do his business, he growls aggressively at me. If he does go out, he won’t go to the grass but instead pees on the house, my Jacuzzi cover, my patio furniture! I only have him till Sunday and its too hot here to put him outdoors. I don’t know what to do as a temporary resolution. Can anyone help?

Can I use OxyClean spray on furniture?

I have a couch that *used to be* a kind of off-white color. Between the dogs and the guys in the garage, well, you can imagine what it’s gone through. I’ve pulled the covers off and they are in the wash, but the back cushion covers don’t come off. The only thing I have that might help in getting rid of all the dirt is OxyClean spray, which I’m not sure if I can use on my sofa..

I do have a carpet shampooer with an attachment that can be used, but will it be enough to get the oxyclean out if I use it? What else might help in getting it clean? Mind you, this sofa was a gift, and already in a bit of rough shape- I would just like to clean it up a bit.

Thanks for any help! =]
Yep, it is the spray. Thanks, I’ll give it a go here shortly!
