Dog Health Questions: Dog training (setting boundaries)?

I have 2 dogs, both chihuahua toy fox terrier mix. I'm going to try to explain this the best way I can. I have a different color different carpets, the regular and one in front of the door about 5 x 5 ft. I'd like to set a boundary around that carpet. I'd like for them to only sit in front of the carpet when they need to use the bathroom, which I already accomplished. However, I'd like for the to stay off of that carpet at all times until I allow them outside. I've tried standing just on the edge of the carpet, putting my hand up (they know that means stay) and saying no which works when they're going outside but doesn't work all the time like I'd like it too. I'd also like them to stay out of the kitchen, but they have to go to the kitchen in order to get to my bedroom where there food is so I'd like them to know its ok just to pass through but not stay and scavenger. I try standing on the edge of the kitchen and putting my hand up and saying no, but that only works for a few seconds. So in a nut shell I'd like to set boundaries.

Also, my one pup loves to eat anything and everything off the ground/floor. Is there any way to stop her from doing that?

Recommended Answer:
You dont need to set boundries you just have to make them sniff the place where they were and make them go away that way the dog gets a notice that these are the areas it shouldnt be staying too long in.

And for your dog to stop eating stuff from the ground. Put a little very little piece of spice on the ground and do that till it stops...........
It stops the first time it eats the spice so ya

  • Sorry but can you say like red carpet and blue carpet or soemthing because i dont understand which carpet is which hahah

    But to stop him from eating off the floor, i have a large dog and when he was a puppy he ate anything like pencils whatever so we would like say "no" and try take it off him and whatever and if we saw him approach it (sometimes you can tell if their going to eat it) wed say "leave" "leave is a very valuable command!!! haha
