What are the best small, soft training treats for my dog's success?
The best training treats are ones that your dog really loves and that can be broken into very small treats. This is especially important with a small dog like Bella. I have used and really like Wellness Soft Puppy Bites and Fruitables. This article also mentions a couple of other small and soft chews that would work well for Bella. https://www.rover.com/blog/favorite-healthy-dog-training-treats/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Why is my new dog anxious, growling, trembling, and hard to train?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These types of behavior can improve though this does require in person training with the help of a qualified dog trainer. I would encourage you to contact a dog trainer that can work with you and her in person to really take care of this behavior. The sooner these behaviors are dealt with, the more likely it is that you can improve and resolve them. Good luck and have a good night!

How to stop a puppy from biting, chewing, and destructive behavior?
I would strongly recommend against any sort of punishment as they are notoriously ineffective for training long term goals. Hitting him with the newspaper or locking him away in a room is only going to confuse him and make him sad. Positive reinforcement training (rewarding behaviors / actions that are preferable) has time and time again been show to be the most effective method of training puppies and the majority of adult dogs. Golden Retrievers are very smart and usually eager to please their masters. You just must understand that Austin is very, very young and is behaving in a way that is totally normal for a dog of this age and breed. I would encourage you to begin crate training Austin if you haven't already. Once he views the crate as a positive place (sort of like his own personal den), you can ask him to go to it and stay in it without it actually appearing like a punishment / time out. Crate training videos can be seen all over the internet on YouTube. That would be my advise to get things moving in the right direction. I would also encourage you to exercise him as much as possible (assuming he is vaccinated) so that he is less inclined to be destructive or annoying when he is around you mother or you. Hope this makes sense!

What issues might an older pet store puppy have with training?
As long as he’s been well socialized then I’m not concerned. With crate training, leash walks to potty and praise and consistency he should be fairy easy to housebreak. Dogs that come from puppy mills or shelters where they are in cages all the time and not socialized can become shy and have some behavior problems, sometimes for a long time. Small dogs such as Paddington can be more challenging to train because they are cute and get carried around so be patient and stick to a daily routine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Paddington.

How to calm my 4-month-old puppy who goes crazy when I get home?
Personally, I love interactive toys. I recently had a trainer work with my dog who focuses on brain games vs. physical activity, and he's done very well with that! One thing you can easily do, is when you get home, take handful of kibbles or small treats and just toss them into the back yard. Then he has to go and find them. This is very easy to do, and will tire him out of sure. Toys that I like are the kong wobbler, feeder balls or treat dispensing balls, the pickle pocket, the everlasting treat, and even a good old kong toy stuffed with some frozen fresh ground peanut butter (avoid any peanut butter with xylitol of course), greek yogurt, or pumpkin. My one dog doesn't really like the kong wobbler or the treat dispensing toy because he gets frustrated very easily. You'll just have to do a trial and error with Leny. My puppy really likes the treat ball and the kongs, as does my older guy. The older, more frustrated guy, really likes the everlasting treat ball as well. I order a lot of things from chewy.com because the prices are great, and if the dogs don't like the toys, it's not a huge waste of money, and I can just give them away. There is also something called a "snuffle mat" that you can purchase or make, that I think is a great idea for dogs after they've finished teething and don't chew things up anymore. (Of course if Leny winds up just being a chewer, I'd be careful with this too so he doesn't ingest any pieces). The snuffle mat is basically a mat with pieces of long fabric that you toss the food on. Then brush the pieces back and forth to hide the food, and let Leny sniff around and look for the food. I actually have this on my 2019 bucket list to make for my dogs. Of course, just to mention, there's always a huge benefit to working with a trainer, to help you streamline Leny's daily routine, so that he gets rid of the most energy and is calm and content. I hope you find this answer helpful! Best of luck!
